What you should know about this song: Since it’s original recording for Blood On the Tracks in 1975, Dylan has since re-written the song, each time with an even more dramatic rendition. The most notable version was included on the Hard Rain concert album a year later.
“I read that this was supposed to be about my wife. I wish somebody would ask me first before they go ahead and print stuff like that. i mean, it couldn’t be about anybody else but my wife, right? Stupid and misleading jerks.” – Bob Dylan, 1985*
