Bob Dylan has given his first non-print interview since 2004 in order to talk about The Basement Tapes era, stating "it was music that made you feel you were a part of something very special," Gigwise said.

The Showtime interview comes after two notable releases: one of rarities from Dylan himself called The Basement Tapes Complete: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 and another from supergroup the New Basement Tapes (members include Marcus Mumford, Elvis Costello, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, Marcus Mumford and Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith) that recorded some of Dylan’s unreleased songs from those sessions.
