by Allison Stewart Back in the early 1960s, when
Bob Dylan was a Greenwich Vil- lage folk singer with one un- derwhelming album to his credit, he began recording rough ver- sions of several dozen songs for music publishing companies Leeds Music and M. Witmark & Sons. They were demos in the tru- est sense of the word, put to tape in the hope that other singers would hear them and want to re- cord their own versions. Today, they form the ba- sis of the 47-track, two-disc “The Wit- mark Demos: 1962-1964,” the ninth volume in Dylan’s long-run- ning “Bootleg Se- ries.” Most of the songs selected for other versions of the “Bootleg Se- ries” aren’t bootlegs at all, but a hodgepodge assortment of live tracks, soundtrack cuts and out- takes selected for their historical significance and relevance to the Dylan canon. “The Witmark Demos” aren’t bootlegs either, but rough studio cuts that form part of a mini-Dylanpalooza, which includes a mammoth box set with mono versions of his first eight LPs also being released on Tuesday. “Witmark” won’t add much to

DANIEL KRAMER/ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEFORE THE ‘BOOTLEG SERIES’:A young Bob Dylan performs in 1964 at Philharmonic Hall in New York.
Rough drafts of Dylan’s artistry
early days in the studio
‘Witmark Demos’ bares the legend’s
anyone’s fundamental under- standing of early classics like “Blowin’ in the Wind,” since many of the demos sound little changed from later “official” versions, but they offer a fascinating glimpse into Dylan’s early capacity for self-mythologizing.
Dylan’s
wholesale appropriation of blues and folk traditions, what histori- an Sean Wilentz in his new, excel- lent “Bob Dylan in America” calls “the magpie quality that is the es- sence of Dylan’s modern min- strelsy,” was then in its early bloom. “Witmark” finds him try- ing on and discarding various ac- cents (he sounds positively Appa- lachian on the slight “Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues”) and poses — the raconteur, the righteous ob- server — as if they were suits. Not yet 24 in the most recent of these recordings, he already sounds mindful of poster- ity. At their star- kest, these tracks
bear witness to Dylan deciding who he wanted to be, a process he would later find easier to conceal. “Witmark” is packed with so
many familiar songs — “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” “Mas- ters of War,” “The Times They Are A-Changin’ ” — it sounds like a greatest hits album in embryo, though there are some excellent obscurities, too (“Guess I’m Do- ing Fine”). Most tracks just fea- ture harmonicas and guitars, though there’s a rickety, piano- centered “Mr. Tambourine Man.” The sound quality ranges from

pretty awful to sort of awful: Some tracks sound crisp, others suggest Dylan was singing from inside a closet (which he pretty much was; the Witmark studio was tiny). Throughout, he sounds predictably weathered, or at least like a young person trying to sound weathered, part of it may be a pose, part of it simply the pe- culiarities inherent in that voice, a voice that, as Wilentz put it, was not “especially raspy or grating, just plain.” The discs’ assemblers leave in the lyrical miscues, the moments where Dylan stops short, or tells someone (himself?) that no, that last part wasn’t right at all. It’s meant to be honest and charm- ing, and it is, though it’s futile, too — one of innumerable at- tempts to de-mythify Dylan that has the opposite effect: Even his fumbles, his ordinary moments, seem exotic. Like so much of what would come after, these songs obscure as much as they il- luminate.
