The Basement Tapes are a collection of songs recorded by Bob Dylan and The Band (then known as The Hawks) in 1967, largely at a house in West Saugerties, New York, known as Big Pink. These sessions, conducted while Dylan was recovering from a motorcycle accident, are known for their loose, rootsy style, blending folk, rock, blues, and Americana. The recordings captured a spontaneous, experimental spirit, reflecting Dylan’s retreat from the pressures of fame and his exploration of American musical traditions. Although many tracks were initially only circulated as bootlegs, they became legendary, influencing the development of roots rock and Americana. An official version, The Basement Tapes, was finally released in 1975, followed by The Basement Tapes Complete in 2014, offering a more comprehensive view of these landmark sessions.
