This great tune appears as the last track on Dylan's fourth studio album, ‘Another Side of Bob Dylan’. It’s been reported that the entire album was recorded in a single all-night studio session.

Apparently Dylan wrote the words ‘no, no, no it ain’t me babe’ as a response to the Beatles’ lyric ‘she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah’ which was released some time before it. Cool if true.

Longtime mutual admirer Johnny Cash covered this song with Dylan's blessings for his album ‘Orange Blossom Special’.

‘Orange Blossom Special’ is an AMAZING Johnny Cash album by the way. One of my Dad’s favourites.
