This is a quirky album, from a Dylan not pointing a way for anyone, but from a great artist remaining at his work knowingly in the face of not being creatively on top form in the phenomenal way he had been in the period 1964–68.Warm and abiding, it sounds better and better as the years go by.
~Michael Gray (The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia)

 

Wikipedia: Dylan ultimately decided to re-record “If Not for You” and “Time Passes Slowly”, holding one final session on August 12. During that session, he also recorded “Day of the Locusts,” which by now had been finished.For the album’s final sequence, the three August 12 recordings were placed at the beginning of New Morning, while covers of “Ballad of Ira Hayes” and “Mr. Bojangles” were dropped.

  3. Under #’s 5, 8, and 20 you have typed, “released: “New Morning” 25 July 1989. Is that just an incorrect date or something else ?

    1. Thanks for the feedback JimmyV.

      It’s actually the COLUMBIA CK 30290 CD release date, but that is really not interesting. I have changed the date to 21 October 1970 (original album release).

      Thanks again.

  4. this is a coincidence…going through my bootlegs this afternoon I came across a cd called
    Dylan and on the back it says New Morning Sessions….perfect sound quality !

    It must have slipped between the ‘cracks’ , because I don’t remember ever listening to it.

    I looked in bobsboots.com and there it was greyed out, meaning they want more info on it.
    I have sent them a picture…it was listed under the acetate version so I think it is a cd of that.

    It has nineteen songs …
