Bootleg Bonanza: Bob Dylan – Alias – The Sideman Story Vol. 1

Bob Dylan
Alias- The Sideman Story Vol. 1
Source: Various official releases Tracks
Technically one might call this a pirate disk instead of a bootleg. I believe all of these songs have had an official release. However most of them are nearly impossible to find and are long out of print. They all feature Bob Dylan as a sideman. These are tracks by somebody else, released on another artists album, but featuring Dylan playing harmonica, or singing back up or whatever.

Links deleted. Since this is all officially released I’m no longer comfortable posting it here.

A special thanks to Bob’s Boots for all the info (and you can get cover art there too.)

Notes:
Bob sings the lead vocal on Acne, Ye Playboys And Playgirls, With God On Our Side, and Only A Pawn In Their Game. Bob’s contribution to each song is listed in parentheses. Where there is nothing listed, Bob plays only the harmonica throughout entirity of the song
