In 1969 the album “Great White Wonder” began mysteriously surfacing in record stores across the nation and the contraband music heightened Dylan’s fame. Rumors of these private recordings from the summer of ‘67 began to spread, creating a new enterprise of the music business– the Bootleg Records. Outside of the small shack in New York, though, Dylan fever was still rampant as music lovers searched for more of Dylan’s iconic music. There the musicians wrote and recorded over a hundred songs, ranging from “The Mighty Quinn” to “You Ain’t Going Nowhere.” In an effort to recuperate and escape the public eye, Dylan and his band mates secluded themselves in a small house in West Saugerties, N.Y. Dylan had released three albums and toured in both the United States and Europe until July 1966 when he was critically hurt in a motorcycle accident. In the early 60s, Dylan and his folk-inspired music became a worldwide phenomenon, influencing not only the music industry but also the culture of a decade.
The show is based on ‘60s music legend Bob Dylan and his Basement Tapes sessions during the summer of 1967. The Showtime documentary “Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued” premiered on Nov.
The ‘60s are back, and the iconic music of the decade is still making waves in the entertainment industry.
