Mostly recorded before their first album, but released in 1975, this is a fun, rollicking trip with The Band & Bob Dylan. On the first track 'Odd's & End's, it becomes apparent that we are gonna hear a lot of ideas. This 2 CD set is incredible, that's all I can say. Bob Dylan trying to lose his Folk Music persona, goes off big time & The Band is right there with him. A couple great songs from this compilation actually made it to regular album releases, 'Tears of Rage' and 'This Wheels On Fire', both made it on to The Band's first album 'Music From Big Pink.'
Word has it that Bob Dylan and The Band locked themselves into a house and recorded this album in it's entirety. The result is an experimental, sometimes stream-of-consciousness mix of music and lyrics that are a treat to listen to. From silly songs like "Mrs. Henry" to other great tunes like "Dear Katie", this album is a great one to listen to all the way through. A must for Dylan or fans of The Band, as well as any serious rock music collection. It is one of the best albums ever recorded.+
well its historically accurate but I would not rate it as one of my favorite Dylan releases

This CD is a must for Dylan and the Band Fans, Many loose ends but the spirit of Sessions is Terrific. A harbinger of music to come from both Dylan and The Band. As a Band fan, I can never get enough, and these early recordings show the new directions that the musicians will take. Lot's of goos solid songs and a few odds and ends.
