When rumors and rare acetates of some of these recordings began surfacing, it created a curiosity strong enough to fuel an entirely new segment of the music business: the bootleg record. In 1969, an album mysteriously titled Great White Wonder began showing up in record shops around the country, and Dylan's music from the summer of 1967 began seeping into the fabric of popular culture, penetrating the souls of music lovers everywhere. With each passing year, more and more fans sought out this rare contraband, desperate to hear this new music from the legendary Bob Dylan. The actual recordings, however, remained commercially unavailable until 1975, when Columbia Records released a scant 16 of them on album (that album also included eight new songs by The Band, without Dylan). A critical and popular success, The Basement Tapes went Top 10 in the US and UK. Over the years, the songs on The Basement Tapes have haunted and perplexed fans, with the recordings themselves representing a Holy Grail for Dylanologists. What's on the rest of those reels?

In place of that album's strangled urgency, Dylan adopts a laconic humor, a deadpan tone that speaks of resignation and self-preservation in the face of absurdity and betrayal.' Robert Shelton has argued that The Basement Tapes revolves around two sets of themes. One group of songs is 'tinctured with the search for salvation': 'I Shall Be Released' (on the demo, but not on the album), 'Too Much of Nothing', 'Nothing Was Delivered', 'This Wheel's On Fire', 'Tears of Rage' and 'Goin' To Acapulco'. 'Nothing' and 'nowhere' perplex and nag' in these songs, he writes. 'The 'nothing' echoes the artist's dilemma: death versus life, vacuum versus harvest, isolation versus people, silence versus sound, the void versus the life-impulse.' A second group, comprising 'songs of joy, signaling some form of deliverance', includes most of the remaining songs in the collection. Clinton Heylin suggests that in this song Dylan may have been invoking the memory of his recently deceased friend, apparently nicknamed Homer.

The band also mischievously dubbed themselves the Honkies. It was only when Helm joined them in Woodstock that they settled on calling themselves the Band (, pp. 143–144).
The official release of -- which were first heard on a 1968 bootleg called The Great White Wonder -- plays with history somewhat, as overemphasizes 's status in the sessions, making them out to be equally active to, adding in demos not cut at the sessions and overdubbing their recordings to flesh them out. As many bootlegs (most notably the complete five-disc series) reveal, this isn't entirely true and were nowhere near as active as, but that ultimately is a bit like nitpicking, since the music here (including 's) is astonishingly good.

While Dylan was out of the public's eye during an extended period of recovery in 1967, he and the members of The Hawks recorded together, incorporating original compositions, contemporary covers, and traditional material. Dylan's new style of writing moved away from the urban sensibility and extended narratives that had characterized his most recent albums, and, toward songs that were more intimate and which drew on many styles of traditional American music. While some of the basement songs are humorous, others dwell on nothingness, betrayal and a quest for salvation. In general, they possess a rootsy quality anticipating the genre.

Dylan and The Band were in top form and made a handful of classics (I Shall Be Released, Million Dollar Bash, This Wheel's On Fire), but also made a lot of fun with funny covers. In 2014 many more sessions were officially released in a box with six CDs and a slightly more modest Demir. Yet handsome for recordings that were made with cheap equipment and probably never were intended for the general public. This is one of the least essential Dylan albums. There are a couple of OK tunes but this was never meant to be an album in the first place. I do like the fact that at the time that most of this was recorded in 1967 Dylan had for the second time in his career stopped moving in the direction everyone expected and wanted him to move in. As everyone else was emulating Sgt Pepper or immersing themselves in psychedelia, Dylan made John Wesley Harding which is the antithesis of Sgt pepper, and these recordings were made.

For some critics, the songs on The Basement Tapes, which circulated widely in unofficial form, mounted a major stylistic challenge to in the late sixties. When prepared the album for official release in 1975, eight songs recorded solely by The Band—in various locations between 1967 and 1975—were added to 16 songs taped by Dylan and The Band in 1967.

In his review for American Songwriter, Jim Beviglia gave it five out of five stars and wrote: Music fans having access to the complete archives of The Basement Tapes is somewhat akin to historians being presented with the tapes of the meetings of the Continental Congress or art buffs who receive a videotape of Da Vinci's entire process of painting The Last Supper.'
By the time the basement sessions started in Big Pink around June 1967, he had two children: Maria (Sara's daughter from her first marriage) and. Anna Dylan was born on July 11, 1967. Both Heylin and biographer Sid Griffin suggest that recording had to move from Dylan's home to Big Pink when it became clear that the sessions were getting in the way of family life. Domesticity was the context of The Basement Tapes, as Hudson said in: 'Chopping wood and hitting your thumb with a hammer, fixing the tape recorder or the screen door, wandering off into the woods with Hamlet [the dog Dylan shared with The Band]. It was relaxed and low-key, which was something we hadn't enjoyed since we were children.'

The tracks on The Basement Tapes Complete run in mostly chronological order based on Garth Hudson's numbering system.

Dylan may have “written” “What’s It Gonna Be When It Comes Up,” but the song sounds like the kind of basic 1-4-5 blues that parents play in a basement when they stumble downstairs after a party and pick up their kids’ instruments. But then there’s a dogleg, and you get “Spanish Is the Loving Tongue,” a simple Western swing ballad, like minor Hank Williams—a small gem. “Too Much of Nothing” has one of Dylan’s best lyrics on the album, in which he exactly mimics the concision of an early blues tune: “Too much of nothing can turn a man into a liar.

But these hundred and thirty-nine tracks offer the opportunity to make your own double album, though that effort demands that you care a tremendous amount about Bob Dylan, especially the transition he went through as the sixties ended. The proceedings were recorded by Garth Hudson, who borrowed a tape deck and two stereo mixers, in Dylan’s house, in The Band’s Big Pink, and in a Wittenberg Road house where Rick Danko and Levon Helm lived. Historically, these sessions have been treated with awe, as if something essential about both Dylan and popular song can be found on the tapes.

One of those responsible for the bootleg, identified only as Patrick, talked to Rolling Stone: 'Dylan is a heavy talent and he's got all those songs nobody's ever heard. We thought we'd take it upon ourselves to make this music available.' The process of bootlegging Dylan's work would eventually see the illegal release of hundreds of live and studio recordings, and lead the to describe Dylan as the most bootlegged artist in the history of the music industry. Columbia Records compilation [ ] In January 1975, Dylan unexpectedly gave permission for the release of a selection of the basement recordings, perhaps because he and Grossman had resolved their legal dispute over the Dwarf Music copyrights on his songs. Clinton Heylin argues that Dylan was able to consent following the critical and commercial success of his album, released that same month: 'After Blood on the Tracks, The Basement Tapes no longer had the status of a final reminder of Dylan's lost genius'.
