HOW MANY ROADS MUST A MAN WALK DOWN...

Bob Dylan has walked down many roads. For most of his 22 years he "road freight trains for kicks and got beat up for laughs, cut grass for quarters and sang for dimes." And his songs today are the sounds he sopped up all those years on the road - "the coyote's call and the train whistle's moan, the ol' time pals an' first run gals, the faces you can't find again."

Bob does what a true folk singer is supposed to do - sing about the important ideas and events of the times. And he does it better than anybody else.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Outtakes features seven of Bob's own compositions, including both sides of his rare debut single. Also classic interpretations of songs by icons Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, and Elvis Presley. Including four songs in stereo and additional bonus tracks featuring noteworthy alternate takes.

Hear it and you'll know why Bob Dylan is the voice of the times.
