Okay, I know Taylor worked with Dylan in a couple of projects - Infidels (1983) and Real Live (1984) -, but accordingly to Jon Alroy(http://www.warr.org/dylan.html#Dylan), the guitarist can also be heard in the notorious 1974 album "Dylan". Does anyone know about this? |

absolutely untrue
all of the sessions for that album took place in 1970, and were 'warm ups' for Self Portrait and New Morning that were never supposed to be used. Columbia issued the album in 1973 (not 1974) when Dylan left for Asylum/Island, and against Bob's wishes.
If Taylor was on that album then he'd be on Self Portrait and New Morning too. And of course, he isnt.
The guy himself says on his webpage that hes not much of a Dylan fan. Going by his reviews of some of Bob's best albums, it shows.

isnt Taylor also on a bunch more Dylan records??
I think Empire Burlesque, Street Legal and a few others
yes? no? |
|
|
| MrPleasant |
Street Legal: no. Empire Burlesque: yes; also: Down In The Groove.
He also played in Dylan's "Blind Willie McTell" (The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3). A fantastic song. |

Oops, I found out that Taylor didn't play in "Down In The Groove". Or at least there's some confusion:
30th May: BOB DYLAN.
LP ‘Down In The Groove’ (CBS 460267 1). Producers: Bob Dylan (and Mark Knopfler). Sound engineer: Stephen Shelton. Incl. - Death Is Not The End (Bob Dylan)
Line-up: MT (gtr)/Bob Dylan (gtr, voc, harm)/Clydie King (bvoc)/Alan Clarke (keyb)/Robbie Shakespeare (bass)/Sly Dunbar (dr)/Full Force (bvoc)
Note: It’s not sure if MT plays on this take (recorded in Spring 1983, see 830411A), maybe it’s Mark Knopfler as the sleeve notes claim, but the album was advertised to include Mick Taylor.

Gazza is right; Taylor was with the stones, when Self Portrait was recorded. But why the hell this site mentions him?:

Obviously, there's some mistake. |

didnt Taylor & MacLagan play on one of his records in the 90s?? |
|
|
| MrPleasant |
It doesn't seem like it.
They both backed him, in the eighties (as documented in 'Real Live').

Taylor ISNT on any Dylan records in the '90's. Neither was Ian McLagan, as far as I know
Taylor is also NOT on the version of "Blind willie McTell" thats on Bootleg Series. Thats Dylan on piano and Knopfler on guitar. There is an 'electric' full band version of the song thats been bootlegged which features Taylor however. Taylor does play on the other 'Infidels' songs that are on the Bootleg Series.
"Real Live" is taken from the final three shows of the '84 tour. 2 songs from Newcastle (5th July), 6 from Wembley (7th July) and 2 from Slane (8th July)

Is that Taylor on the outtake of Clean Cut Kid? For the most part, it seems like very uncharacteristic Hawaiian guitar playing, but there are a few licks in the middle that sound like his phrasing. |

Thanks. I stand corrected. Of course, there's also his solo version - from 'A Stone's Throw'. |

I believe another version appeared earlier on "Taylormade" with Black Cat Bone (a German blues band?). |
