Dylan and the Band used Muddy Waters’ “Mannish Boy” riff and played around with the lyrics, which Dylan couldn’t quite remember. We already posted one of those songs, the rockabilly pastiche “ Dress It Up, Better Have It All.” Now we’ve got another, a cover of blues great John Lee Hooker’s talking blues song “ Tupelo.” The original is a harrowing talking blues song about a flood destroying a town. There’s a deluxe six-CD reissue of The Basement Tapes coming next month, and it includes songs that have never seen the light of day. And many of the songs that they recorded together still haven’t seen release, but that’s about to change.

For years, The Basement Tapes, Bob Dylan’s 1967 recordings with the Band, went unreleased the heavily bootlegged album only saw release in 1975.
