Stoned On The Mountain - Bob Dylan
- 1964 Field Recording - Recorded: 05/??/1964 Eric Von Schmidt's Home, Siesta Key, Sarasota, Florida Bob and early collaborator Eric Von Schmidt duet on this humorous (and seemingly improvised) rarity. This definitely gives me shades of The Basement Tapes, especially stuff like Sign On The Cross albeit with more levity. Two takes of this song exist but I'm using the more complete of the two.
