(Robert Johnson)
- out-take from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan,
recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 25 Apr 1962
(take 4),
surfaced on unreleased Columbia acetates in
1980
Note that although the previous two takes were credited to
Robert Johnson, this is also credited as "Good Morning Blues" to James "Kokomo" Arnold! Michael Gray in "Song & Dance Man III"
(Cassell,
1999) says: "When Dylan recorded "Milk Cow Blues" (unreleased) in
1962, he used part of Kokomo Arnold's lyric, part of Presley's, part of Robert
Johnson's 1937 "Milk Cow's Calf's Blues" and part of Lead Belly's "Good
Morning Blues", shuffling the elements around in the course of two
takes." Gray says earlier that although Elvis Presley's Sun version ("Milkcow
Blues Boogie") is credited to Kokomo Arnold, it is completely different from
Arnold's song, and seems actually to be the version of "Milk Cow Blues"
recorded by Johnny Lee Wills in 1941. The takes referred to by Gray were
takes 3 and 4, which had surfaced in 1980. Surprisingly, the version of
"Milk Cow Blues" recorded by Johnny Lee Wills in 1941 is credited to Sleepy
John Estes!

 "Aunt" Samantha Bumgarner (1878-1960), who recorded Worried Blues with Eva Davis for Columbia in 1924 (Library of Congress) |
Harriet Elizabeth "Hally" Wood was a folk singer and musicologist who was married from 1940-47 to broadcaster John Henry Faulk, who hosted the Westinghouse Studios "Folk Songs And More Folk Songs" series in the 1960s. Hally Wood recorded an album called Hally Wood Sings Texas Folk Songs for Stinson Records around 1950 that included Worried Blues, track 3 on Side 1. She was also a member of a folk group called The Skifflers, but they didn't record the song. Hally Wood claimed in the liner notes of her album to have learned the song from the recording by Samantha Bumgarner and Eva Davis from 1924 (despite the fact these two women came from and performed mostly in North Carolina, not Texas). According to Tim Dunn there is no copyright for this song on record for either Hally Wood or Samantha Bumgarner/Eva Davis. Tim adds "However, evidently, it is her version published in Jerry Silverman's songbook "FOLK BLUES: ONE HUNDRED AND TEN AMERICAN FOLK BLUES" (The Macmillan Company, 1958), pp.164-165. There is no composer, arranger, publisher, or copyright claimant given for the song, which would seem to imply Silverman considered it to be Traditional. In the index (p.297), however, Silverman's source for "Worried Blues" seems to be Hally Wood's on "Stinson LP 73" (no album title [HALLY WOOD SINGS TEXAS FOLK SONGS] or release date [the Library of Congress gives the date as "1950" in one database and "195?" in its main catalogue]). Further, Silverman indicates in his introduction (p.2) that he transcribed most of the recordings for his book (which Todd Harvey confirms in "THE FORMATIVE DYLAN" [p.125]). Silverman's book was copyrighted on 25 November 1958, its date of publication, with him as the claimant. Harvey discusses Wood's source, quoting from Wood's liner notes that she learned it from a 1924 recording by Samantha Bumgarner and Eva Davis (p.124-125). Incidentally, Harvey suggests that Silverman's book may have played a role in Dylan's "Minnesota repertoire" (p.125), as it also includes at least seven other songs from this time period." (Glen Dundas credits Worried Blues as "Traditional - collected Hally Wood".)
Bob appeared in a programme in the "Folk Songs And More Folk Songs" series recorded in Mar 1963, broadcast May 1963, from which Blowin' In The Wind appeared in the Martin Scorsese documentary film "Bob Dylan: No Direction Home", Sep 2005, see VHS & DVD 200s Part 3.

Both Bob Stacy and Larry Crum think it's the album track, confirmed by Derek Barker in "Isis" 166, who says that although Michael Krogsgaard and Olof Bjoerner list the track on the album as take 1, it is listed by Glen Dundas and Clinton Heylin as take 3, and is confirmed as take 3 on page 43 of the booklet with 2010's The Original Mono Recordings, see here. This means that R-0952 is exactly the same as the album track and take 1 is still unreleased! |

R-0576-2 Mixed Up
Confusion
- out-take from The
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York,
1 Nov 1962 (take 10), the alternate
mono take without the first harmonica solo from the Japanese promo LP
Mr. D's Collection # 1 (see 1974) and
promo EP, Mr. D's Collection #2 (see
1976). This
turned up on a 1962 Columbia acetate that surfaced in Nov
1983, and an
edited version, R-0748, appeared on the 1985 original Biograph
(see 1985)
However, Larry Crum says: "Mixed
Up Confusion CO 76982-10 on CD #2, Track 13, is a different mono mix from the
mono mix on Mr. D's Collection #1 (R-0145) and the edited stereo on the
original Biograph (R-0748). These are all the same recording but where
the Mr. D's Collection track sounds like just one channel of the stereo
version from Biograph, with no drums and very faint piano, the version on
The 50th Anniversary Collection has prominent piano and drums and is
speeded up. There is also at least one section where the piano is different:
after "Seeing my reflection" there is a discordant descending piano riff on both
the Mr. D's Collection and original Biograph where on The 50th
Anniversary Collection the piano riff at this point is more rhythmic and
similar to the rest of the track." The R-number for this take has
therefore been revised! Roger Ford says: "I
think R-0576-2 would be a better R-number than R-0145-4, since this version,
being the original 1962 recording, relates much more closely to
R-0576/R-0577/R-0578 than
it does to R-0145, which is the later overdub with different backing."

from 26 Nov 1962, but a "remake", a new take, despite the take number)
Bob Stacy and David Goldsmith first pointed out that any differences
(if any) between this and
R-0956 are very hard to hear, and then Larry Crum stated the two tracks
are identical. Roger Ford has confirmed that this is not the real R-0963 but

Copyright notes by Tim Dunn:
"Highway 51": The album's notes read "(B. Dylan)" and "Copyright (c) 1962 by Duchess Music; renewed 1990 by MCA." This is new information. I re-checked my notes and files, as well as the "Catalog Of Copyright Entries" and "Copyright Office Catalog," and there is no 1962 registration for this song on Dylan's behalf, nor a 1990 renewal. Further, the few copyright documents I have regarding his Leeds/Duchess songs fail to include this title. That does not mean a document of which I am unaware cites it, but that will remain unknown until the Copyright Office completes scanning of its old documents (a project currently, albeit slowly, underway).
"Wichita Blues" ("Going To Louisiana"): The album's notes read "(B. Dylan)" and "Copyright (c) 1962 by Warner Bros., Inc.; renewed 1990 by Special Rider Music." This is new information. The same comments about registrations and renewals for "Highway 51" apply here. I have several documents covering the Witmark period, none of which mention this song. Note that M. Witmark & Sons would have lodged the first registration (Warner Bros. being a successor).
"Worried Blues": The album's notes read "(H. Wood; arr. B. Dylan)" and "(c) 1991 Special Rider Music." Tim Dunn says Hally Wood is new information for this copyright claim. The song was first registered as part of the compilation of sound recordings comprising The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (whose notes list it as a Traditional arranged by Dylan), and the Special Rider Music registration for this song, 18 March 2003, again gives it as a Traditional with a Dylan arrangement (see Hally Wood information above).

Thanks to Bob Stacy for his extensive analysis of the performance in the TV episode and his decision that this is the take used for the withdrawn The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (R-0017) but with extra instrumentation! This leads Bob to the conclusion that here we have another track from the "electric" overdub session held by Tom Wilson without Bob at Columbia Studios, New York, 8 Dec 1964 (CO 84439 take 10), previously unreleased! The "electric" version of House Of The Risin' Sun comes from this session, and was not finally officially released until 1993 on the CD-ROM Highway 61 Interactive, see 1993. R-0018 Talkin' John Birch Society Blues [Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues] - studio version (stereo) from the Columbia US test pressing and promotional copies of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, 1963 R-0551 Let Me Die In My Footsteps - unedited original version (stereo) with extra verse from the Columbia test pressing and promotional copies of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, 1963 (version released The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 in 1991 is edited) R-0955

R-0952A Bob Dylan's Blues - out-take from The
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 9 Jul 1962
(take 1), still uncirculating
Derek Barker in "Isis" 166 says that although Michael
Krogsgaard and Olof Bjoerner list the track on the Freewheelin' album as take 1, it is
listed by Glen Dundas and Clinton Heylin as take 3, and is confirmed as take
3 on page 43 of the booklet with 2010's The Original Mono Recordings,
see above. This means that R-0952 above is exactly
the same as the album track and take 1 is still unreleased!
R-0574 Mixed Up Confusion - third alternate take to the original US single (R-0007, see 1962), with an opening harmonica solo as R-0007 but with different lyrics, recorded Columbia Recording Studios, New York, 14 Nov 1962 (probably take 11), from a 1962 Columbia acetate that surfaced in Jun 1984.
R-0963
That's All Right, Mama (Arthur Crudup) - out-take from
The
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York,
1 Nov 1962 (take 3 - the "fast" version).
According to Roger Ford this is not a remix on 1 Nov 1962 of R-0956
from 26 Nov 1962, but a "remake", a new take, despite the take number. Despite
being listed as CD2, track 15 of The 50th Anniversary
Collection.
CD2, track 15 is in fact a repeat of R-0956 (CD2, track 6).
Thanks to Steven Jump of Badlands for news of this rarity and the copy! Thanks to Roger Ford, Bob Stacy and Ian Woodward for their very detailed analysis of the Freewheelin' out-takes, to Larry Crum for further information, and to Les Kokay and Michael Krogsgaard for the information sources.
