Sobre el álbum

La discografía de Bob Dylan tiene en estas grabaciones su tesoro más legendario. Realizadas en 1967 mientras se recuperaba de su accidente, The Basement Tapes capturan a Dylan y The Band haciendo música de forma libre y experimental, lejos de cualquier presión comercial. El álbum es una extraña y maravillosa mezcla de folk, country, blues y rock and roll surrealista. De hecho, las canciones van desde lo profundamente emotivo ("Tears of Rage") hasta lo absurdamente divertido ("Yea! Heavy and a Bottle of Bread").

Estas grabaciones, que circularon en cintas piratas durante años, adquirieron un estatus mítico. Su lanzamiento oficial en 1975 finalmente permitió al público escuchar la fuente de tanta leyenda. Después de todo, es el sonido de la música estadounidense siendo deconstruida y reinventada en un sótano.

    Letra

    Bessie was more than just a friend of mine We shared the good times with the bad Now many a year has passed me by I still recall the best thing I ever had I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Oh, See her soon Goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith When I get there I wonder what she'll do Now all the crazy things I had to try Well I tried them all and then some But if you're lucky one day you find out Where it is you're really comin' from I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Oh, See her soon Goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith When I get there I wonder what she'll do Now in my day I've made some foolish moves But back then, I didn't worry 'bout a thing And now again I still wonder to myself Was it her sweet love or the way that she could sing I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Oh, See her soon Goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith When I get there I wonder what she'll do There's so much time has gone right on by I didn't think one could be so wrong And then one night I was drinkin' and a-thinkin' In the bottom of the glass I could see Bessie's face so strong I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Oh, See her soon Goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith When I get there I wonder what she'll do When she sees me will she know what I've been through? Will old times start to feelin' like new? When I get there will our love still feel so true? Yet all I have, I'll be a-bringin' it to you Oh Bessie, sing them old-time blues
