The end result, Time Out of Mind, became a new pillar in the Bob Dylan album pantheon, its songs - “Love Sick,” “Cold Irons Bound,” “Can’t Wait,” “Not Dark Yet” - becoming concert staples and fan favorites with one composition, “Make You Feel My Love,” achieving rare status as a new contemporary standard in the Great American Songbook, a tune covered by hundreds of artists including Billy Joel, Garth Brooks, Neil Diamond, and Adele. Recording for Time Out of Mind took off in earnest in January 1997, when Dylan moved the sessions to Criteria Studio in Miami and the studio ensemble was expanded to encompass a mix of all-star session players and members of Dylan’s touring band including Bucky Baxter on acoustic guitar and pedal steel, Duke Robillard on guitar and electric Gibson L-5, Robert Britt on Martin acoustic and Fender Stratocaster, Cindy Cashdollar on slide guitar, Tony Garnier on bass guitar and upright bass, Augie Meyers on Vox organ combo, Hammond B3 organ and accordion, Jim Dickinson on keyboards, Wurlitzer electric piano and pump organ and drummers Jim Keltner, Brian Blade, and David Kemper. In early 1996, Dylan, whose last album of originals had been 1990’s Under the Red Sky, began writing a group of new songs and, in August-October that year, went into Teatro studio in Oxnard with Daniel Lanois, who’d produced 1989’s Oh Mercy, to record demos for a potential album. 17 follows the evolution of songs written for the album, from intimate early incarnations in the previously unreleased 1996 Teatro sessions featuring Dylan on vocals, guitar, and piano, Daniel Lanois on guitar and organ, Tony Garnier on bass and Tony Mangurian on drums and percussion through incandescent live renditions - also previously unreleased - showcasing Dylan and his touring ensemble channeling the songs on-stage from 1998-2001.
