Dylanove pjesme iz podruma

Od početka studenog u prodaji je novo izdanje Boba Dylana: Bob Dylan The Basement Tapes: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 (Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings/Menart).

Albumi su dostupni na dva bogato opremljena izdanja: dvostruko The Basement Tapes Raw: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 koje uključuje odabrane vrhunce sa šesterostrukog CD-a The Basement Tapes Complete.

U Hrvatskoj je trenutačno dostupno samo dvostruko CD izdanje, a šesterostruko će u prodaji biti uskoro. Albumi uključuju originalne snimke od kojih su mnoge nađene tek nedavno. Ovo povijesno izdanje je kronika legendarnog snimanja Boba Dylana i njegovog banda iz 1967. godine.

Sredinom 1966 godine Bob Dylan bio je emocionalno, psihički i fizički u potpunom rasulu. Poslijednjih 18 mjeseci objavio je svoja tri ponajbolja albuma svih vremena (jedan dvostruki LP). Njegov naporani prebukirani raspored uključivao je putovanjem čitavim svijetom kako bi sve objavljene pjesme predstavio publici. On i bend su vrlo rijetko spavali održavajući koliku toliku budnost koristeći razne tablete i stimulanse kako bi uopće mogli pratiti zadani tempo.

U ljeti 1966 godine nakratko se našao kod kuće u Woodstoku, no ne zadugo jer je njegov menadžer dogovorio nešto više od 60 koncerata, dok je njegova diskografska kuća već vršila lagani pritisak za objavom novih materijala. Imao jepotpisane ugovore za ŽTV specijal i knjige i jednostavno bio na izmaku snaga. Nešto od toga je morao dati.

Dana 29. srpnja 1966. godine Dylan je navodno bio sudionik saobraćajne nesreće, no detalji nikada nisu u potpunosti bili poznati. Prema nekim reporterima bio je na rubu smrti, dok su drugi spominjali da se tako nešto nikada nije dogodilo. Bez obzira na stvarne okolnosti, Dylanu je situacija išla u prilog i dala mu toliko potreban predah, te se povukao iz javnosti na više od godinu dana. U ovo doba to ne izgleda kao dug period, no u ono vrijeme to se činilo kao čitava vječnost, naročito ako znamo da su u ono vrijeme svi veliki glazbenici izbacivali nove singlove otprilike svaka tri mjeseca.

Misterija oko Dylana se pojavila negdje u to vrijeme. Od tog vremena on se nakako povukao od očiju javnosti i sada gotovo 50 godina kasnije, unatoč mnoštvu raznih objavljenih biografija, o tom periodu i kasnijim godinama znamo mizerno malo. On je postao obiteljski čovjek, život mu se unormalio i postao gotovo normalan koliko je to mogao biti obzirom na njegov poziv i status koji je ima. Za javnost onog vremena on se okanio pisanja pjesama.

No da li je to zaista bilo tako? Godine 1967, umjetnici poput benda Byrds, Manfred Mann i Peter, Paul i Mary koji su svoje hitove bazirali na Dylanovim nikad objavljenim i javnosti nepoznatim orginalima. Dylan je se smjestio u malom podrumu svoje kuće u New Yorku. Ondje su bili i Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson i kasnije, Levon Helm, te je nastao sastav Bob Dylan and The Band. Snimili su stotine raznolikih pjesma u nekoliko mjeseci. Ondje su nastali i klasici: ”I Shall Be Released,” ”The Mighty Quinn,” ”This Wheel’s On Fire” and ”You Ain’t Going Nowhere.”

Oko 1969. godine u pojedinim su se glazbenim trgovinama pojavili čudni albumi bez oznake diskografske kuće koji su sadržavali pjevane verzije Dylanovih demo pjesama koje su nekako procurili u javnost. Tijekom godina, više je takvog materijala iscurilo.

Kako bi spriječio takvu praksu i borio se protiv ovog problema, Dylan je isprva sankcionirao službeni izlazak albuma 1975. godine no album “The Basement Tapes” ipak je bio objavljen te godine, ali obožavatelji su se pitali je li to uistinu sve što je tada snimljeno. Svih ovih godina kasnije, Columbia Records objavila je divovsku kutiju s uključenim setom svih ikad sačuvanih snimaka, tako da u konačnici imamo jasniju sliku o tome što se oko njega događalo šezdesetih godina. Iz tog razloga ova kolekcija je „must“ have za svakog pravog poklonika i obožavatelja Dylanovog lika i djela.

Priča koja prati album silno je intrigantna, posebno činjenica da se za mnoge snimke mislilo da su odavno izgubljene. Rad obavljen na ovim snimkama naprosto je čudesan. No, ono što začuđuje je činjenica što Dylan nikada nije imao pretjeran interes naspram tih legendarnih pjesama. Pored nekolicine ponovljenih snimaka za ranih sedamdesetih, on nikada nije izrazio interes vratiti se tim melodijama. Čak ih je i izuzetno rijetko svirao na svojim koncertima.

Na sreću, postoje oni kojima je dovoljno stalo da omoguće javnosti čuti ove legendarne snimke. To su Garth Hudson i kanadski glazbeni arhivar/producent Jan Haust koji su se pobrinuli na Complete izdanju po prvi puta budu objavljene sve originalne i sačuvane snimke.
