Bob Dylan — Trouble No More — The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 / 1979-1981

4LP and 2 disc configuration

Hardcover book — Introduction by Dylan scholar Ben Rollins

Liner notes by Amanda Petrusich, Rob Bowman and Penn Jillette

The latest chapter in Columbia/Legacy's highly acclaimed Bob Dylan Bootleg Series showcases the music Dylan wrote and performed during one of the most surprising, controversial and inspired periods of his career.

This deluxe 4LP configuration includes a hardcover book featuring an introduction by Dylan scholar Ben Rollins with liner notes by Amanda Petrusich, Rob Bowman and Penn Jillette.

Included with the set are the first two discs from the deluxe box set. The discs include 30 live highlights from the 1979, 1980 and 1981 tours.

As the 1970s ended and the 1980s began, Dylan responded to the changing of the decades with a three album trilogy — Slow Train Coming (1979), Saved (1980) and Shot of Love (1981) — of spirit-filled songs of praise, worship and devotion. These songs were as deeply personal and packed with poetics as any Dylan had ever written, but the force of conviction and power of faith evident in these performances baffled segments of Dylan's fanbase (just as Dylan's "going electric" had alienated folk purists in 1965).

The previous two volumes in Columbia/Legacy's Bob Dylan Bootleg Series each took home the Best Historical Album Grammy Award for its respective eligibility year: Bob Dylan - The Cutting Edge 1965-1966, The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 in 2017 and Bob Dylan - The Basement Tapes Complete, The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 in 2016.

The live concerts from this crucial epoch in Dylan's history contain some of the most intensely jubilant and transcendent performances of his career. Bob Dylan - Trouble No More - The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 / 1979-1981 offers fans and music lovers the opportunity to fully experience for the first time this extraordinary chapter in Bob Dylan's musical journey.
