In August of 1969, Bob Dylan began the sessions that would result in Self-Portrait, New Morning, Dylan and, many years later, Another Self-Portrait.

The sessions continued into 1970, and during the first five days of June 1970 Dylan recorded many songs at Columbia’s Studio E in New York.

People tend to dismiss the album titled Dylan, but some of these recordings are pretty cool. Give them a listen.
