Sonic Youth,
Iעm Not There Audio
by Staff | 10.22.2007
“I’m Not There” is considered one of
Bob Dylan’s lost gems. Having been recorded during the sessions for
The Basement Tapes, then discarded, it can only be found by the most ardent Dylan completists on the bootlegs
The Genuine Basement Tapes or
A Tree With Roots, so itt seems fitting then that this nugget of insider Dylan knowledge should be used not only as the title of the upcoming Todd Haynes biopic, but also on the soundtrack.
Excavating the track, and adding their own indelible stamp is
Sonic Youth. Where most of his songs are so distinctly Dylan-esque, Sonic Youth have the luxury of covering a song that very few people have heard, giving them a little more freedom with the track. The group take the easy-going vocals and apply that feeling to the whole song, shuffling through and almost making it sound like one of their own mellower compositions.
