For the first time in the Bob Dylan Bootleg Series, a film is being included in the deluxe package.
Jennifer Lebeau’s Trouble No More: A Musical Film, which combines unreleased footage from Dylan's 1980 tours with new material written by Luc Sante and performed by Michael Shannon, is part of the nine-disc deluxe edition of Bob Dylan—Trouble No More: The Bootleg Series Vol. 13/1979-1981. Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings will release the set, along with two-CD/four-LP standard versions, on 11/3.
Of all the editions in the series, Trouble No More tackles Dylan’s vexing era—his “religious phase.” The period covers the trilogy of Slow Train Coming (1979), Saved (1980) and Shot of Love (1981), years when Dylan’s fans were mystified by his turning to songs of praise, worship and devotion; it has no connection with Street Legal-Desire period prior nor the polished records from the back half of the ‘80s. Out of Dylan’s 50-plus year career, this is an era most in need of re-examination.
At the time, Dylan’s move cost him a fan base. Almost overnight, Dylan went from being an arena act to a theater act after word got out his was singing about salvation instead of simple twists of fate.
Dylan’s live shows during the period, as the film shows, are intense and jubilant thanks to an ace band—Spooner Oldham, Fred Tackett, Tim Drummond, Jim Keltner and three gospel singers—that stayed with him for multiple tours and brought a cohesion to the performances. Oddly enough, in 1979, he made his only appearance on Saturday Night Live, performing his best-known song from the era, “Gotta Serve Somebody.”
Trouble No More comprises six discs of live performances, 31 previously unreleased outtakes and performances and a bonus DVD of six concert performances.
The deluxe box set includes a hardcover book with liner notes by Amanda Petrusich, Rob Bowman and noted atheist Penn Jillette.
