Classic Records To Reissue Dylan's Freewheelin' on vinyl*

Only two of the songs have been released. "Talkiin' John Birch..." was released in a live version, but "Solid Road" has never been released.

 

I thought all tracks had come out on the BS box set. Been so long I thought it was only three missing tracks total. I better go through the files and see what's there.

 

Issued now legit, but live recording as well.

Rocks And Gravel 2 a/k/a Solid Road
GASLIGHT TAPES (T-104)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Takes rocks and gravel, baby
Make a solid road
Takes rocks and gravel, baby
Make a solid road
Takes a good woman, mama
To satisfy my weary soul.

Have you ever been down on
That Mobile and K.C. line?
Have you ever been down on
That Mobile and K.C. line?
Well I just wanna ask you
If you seen that gal of mine.

Don't the clouds look lonesome
Shinin' across the sea?
Don't the clouds look lonesome
Shinin' across the sea?
Don't my gal look good
When she's comin' after me?

Takes rocks and gravel, baby
Make a solid road, make a solid road
Takes rocks and gravel, baby
Make a solid road, make a solid road
Takes a good woman, mama
To satisfy my weary soul.

 

Talk about a major bummer...I was really looking forward to this (and hopefully the others that were to come)

 

I haven't heard it yet, but that 3rd stanza is interesting - seems like Dylan re-worked it into "It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry".

Don't the moon look good, mama
Shinin' through the trees ?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flaggin' down the "Double E" ?
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea ?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me ?
