What would you do if someone told you it was up to you to finish some old songs Bob Dylan had lying around?
That's the question facing Marcus Mumford, Elvis Costello, Jim James (of My Morning Jacket), Taylor Goldsmith and Rhiannon Giddens (of the Carolina Chocolate Drops) in Showtime's new original documentary, Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued, which documents the making of the new album Lost On the River: The New Basement Tapes.
