On the two-CD Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8--certainly one of the most riveting of the Minnesota bard's collections of unreleased recordings, studio demos, alternate takes, and live tracks. The 27-song album, which covers material from 1989's Oh Mercy through 2006's Modern Times, offers a king's riches. The breadth and scope of the material (from sneering and tender folk originals, to covers of Jimmie Rodgers and Robert Johnson blues, to a collaboration with bluegrass king Ralph Stanley, and side excursions into ragtime and waltz) reinforce his position as the premier songwriter of his generation.
2 CDs with 27 songs in a brilliant box with a 60 page booklet.
Condition: Brand New Factory Sealed
