Bob Dylan and George Harrison: “Time Passes Slowly”

One of the songs on Bob Dylan’s new “Bootleg” release, Another Self Portrait (1969-1971): The Bootleg Series Vol. 10(2013), is the demo “Time Passes Slowly #1.” featuring George Harrison on guitar and background vocals. Harrison stopped by one of the Self Portrait sessions and the two recorded this version of the song.

Another version of “Time Passes Slowly” would end up on New Morning, but it is cool we get to hear this one from the vaults.

Of course, the two played together on other occasions. Harrison played slide guitar on Dylan’s Under the Red Sky (1990) album. And Nelson Wilbury (Harrison) and Lucky Wilbury (Dylan) were part of The Traveling Wilburys.
