Obscurely Bilious


Many years ago, I made a compilation of some of my favourite Bob Dylan songs entitled

Obscurely Bilious.

Most of the songs are hard-to-find ones, but every one a classic. I still think this compilation stands up well, and makes a good introduction to those who aren't sure they like Dylan or a welcome alternative for established Dylan fans looking for a different return to his music.

I thought it was time I posted it.
