I’ve been reading Rick Rubin’s book The Creative Act: A Way of Being lately – not all at once, mind you, but sipping it slowly, like a rare old whiskey – and it’s put me in mind of this song by Bob Dylan , from 1971.
This composition has been performed and recorded by Dylan himself on multiple occasions, but the first released recording was by The Band , and their original studio recording is still the version I’m partial to.
