Bob Dylan has announced the release of "Fragments : Time Out Of Mind Sessions 1996-1997 : The Bootleg Series Vol 17", due on January 27th, 2023. The forthcoming collection celebrates the 25th anniversary of Dylan’s seminal release, "Time Out Of Mind", and its enduring impact with studio outtakes, unreleased recordings and live versions of beloved tracks such as “Not Dark Yet”, “Make You Feel My Love” and “Love Sick”.
"Fragments" will be available as a 5 CD or 10 LP box set and in abridged versions. The newly announced series includes preliminary renditions of "Time Out Of Mind" numbers plucked from the 1996 Teatro sessions featuring Dylan, Daniel Lanois, Tony Garnier and Tony Mangurian.
Moreover, the impending package sees unreleased 1997 studio takes from Miami’s Criteria Studio featuring Bucky Baxter, Duke Robillard and Cindy Cashdollar, and an all star mix of collaborators, which earned Dylan the 1998 Grammy awards for 'Album Of The Year'. The musician also took home accolades for 'Best Contemporary Folk Album', and “Cold Irons Bound” was awarded the trophy for 'Best Male Rock Vocal Performance'.
