The New Basement Tapes is the name given to the studio collective assembled by <a href="spotify:artist:4zMX9gWf1DKhvsYHUCbBF7">T-Bone Burnett</a> to set discarded and discovered <a href="spotify:artist:74ASZWbe4lXaubB36ztrGX">Bob Dylan</a> lyrics from 1967 to music and record. Upon their discovery in the fall of 2013, <a href="spotify:artist:74ASZWbe4lXaubB36ztrGX">Dylan</a>'s publisher approached <a href="spotify:artist:4zMX9gWf1DKhvsYHUCbBF7">Burnett</a> with the job of turning the handwritten manuscripts into songs, and he set about assembling a cast of sympathetic souls to put the words to music. He hired his Coward Brothers partner <a href="spotify:artist:2BGRfQgtzikz1pzAD0kaEn">Elvis Costello</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3bYcjbVAN3rAuU3TMzw2mB">Marcus Mumford</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:3gd8FJtBJtkRxdfbTu19U2">Mumford & Sons</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1MhtYlJvUqfd2EgHSQTGK4">Jim James</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:43O3c6wewpzPKwVaGEEtBM">My Morning Jacket</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:23DFMY4nrnRu8bAAypT3HF">Taylor Goldsmith</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:0CDUUM6KNRvgBFYIbWxJwV">Dawes</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1EI0NtLHoh9KBziYCeN1vM">Rhiannon Giddens</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:6H8Sj9gFyDYJ3T63LA3DKz">the Carolina Chocolate Drops</a> to write and perform the material (drummer <a href="spotify:artist:6zksXzSSmpDaX1eN4Kx6sf">Jay Bellerose</a> anchored the proceedings), which was cut during the early months of 2014. The resulting Lost on the River appeared in November of 2014, accompanied by a Showtime documentary called Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued, which told the tale of the project. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
