The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
So here is my project: I am compiling a companion volume of material -- completed takes only, repeating none of the material from the original albums, Biograph, Bootleg Series 1-3, No Direction Home, or the 2-disc Cutting Edge set. This is leaving me with anywhere from 0 to 4 takes of each song to choose from, with no plans to duplicate songs unless radically differing versions justify it

I always consider Oh, Mercy and Time Out Of Mind a bit of a pair. They both share the same... ambience? With Lanois as producer on both, they capture a very specific sound/feel in these records.
I happen to love both, although Oh, Mercy probably has the edge for me.

I know, I know! Look, it took a lot for me to even share that with the rest of you.
"Hello, my name is Stephen and I don't "get" Time out of Mind."
TooM is a night time record. It's dense and murky and is perfect for hot summer evenings or pre midnight, when all your chances are dashed. Try a shorter version of the album and see if it sticks. Not dismissing the unused tracks, just trying to get to the essence of the album. Standing In The Doorway should prob get a look in too.

For a long time I struggled with "Time Out of Mind" because I wanted it to be "Love and Theft" -- buoyant, witty, full of colorful language and wordplay and biting in the way that his best '60's stuff was. Some of the songs do drag on a little long in the absence of these things, but over time I came to view it as the other side of the "L&T" coin -- an album full of defeat and fatalism, a workout for the emotions, next to be redeemed by a life-affirming feast for the senses. If LMS's redux version doesn't work, I might encourage you to test drive some of live versions if those songs; I know some Dylanheads who dislike the record's production (Lanois made "Oh Mercy" shimmer but went murky on "TOOM").
Try out these two live comps, they have some good versions of the "Time Out of Mind" tunes:
It's been a long time since I've ranked Dylan albums but "TOOM" would probably be in my top 10. I like everything about it now, but it took some time and I'm very familiar with the things that keep people from getting into it. It rewards repeat listens.
