Yeah, I thought so too. Can't honestly say I'd ever heard it before. It's crazy how many good songs he's made. It's just not typical at all. There are a lot I haven't heard.
The fact that he changes the lyrics in his live performances and basically never plays them the same way twice means that there are several versions of all these songs to listen to.
That's why there are so many "Bootleg" multi-disk collections...

Seems like they started releasing their own bootleg catalogues as a response to all the concert recording that went on back in the day...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan_...recordings
He's supposedly the most bootlegged artist of all time. There was one guy who became a "famous" bootlegger by going to all his concerts and recording them.
I guess the officially released versions are better quality or something. Not sure, I don't have any of those collections because most of it is available online.
Clearly Bob's people know how to cash the fuck in on pretty much every aspect of anything he's ever created... it's pretty damn brilliant.
I must say that there are many live versions of his songs which I find preferable to the studio recordings. I love the spontaneity and "imperfections" that can happen in live performances, gives it a lot more soul. Sometimes studio recordings are better though... for example, I'd never prefer a live version of Like a Rolling Stone to the album version.
Still not sure why his paintings aren't more widely available in coffee table book format. The only place to get them seems to be through one site... https://www.castlefineart.com/art/bob-dy...-book-2022
I think they should be discoverable and available for purchase on Amazon and his official website. It's linked on his website, but the link just goes to Castle Fine Art. I guess he has an exclusive deal with them.
Seems like he spends a lot of time painting these days, he's released a bunch of paintings in the past like 6 years.
I read somewhere that some of the paintings are from photos he's taken when he's traveling around, and he paints over them Andy Warhol style. Others are obviously hand drawn and painted.
This one is my favorite for obvious reasons...
