Link to Song: Blind Willie McTell
What you should know about this song: Originally, Dylan experimented with this song for the Infidels album in 1983. However, it wasn’t included on a record until The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 in 1991.
“I started playing it live because I hard The Band doing it. Most likely it was a demo, probably showing the musicians how it should go. It was never developed fully, I never got around to completing it. There wouldn’t have been any other reason for leaving it off the record.” – Bob Dylan, 2006
