My name is Ben Barrow and welcome back to Bob Dylan album by album, a podcast that brings you an in-depth look at each Bob Dylan studio recording record by record.

Welcome to episode two on Blonde on Blonde. Thank you for your messages on the first episode.

On this one, we're having a look at the next two songs and also the album's recording process,

which is quite protracted at times. But an interesting process to go through to get a record

like this. We'll get to that in just a second. First, though, thank you to everyone that has

signed up for the Patreon show. This is a little bonus show I'm bringing to you. There's

quite a bit up there now,

actually, quite a few episodes. There's an episode looking at the Daniel Lamois production techniques.

There's also an episode looking at Ballad of Thin Man and Up to Me, a couple of brilliant

songs. There's an interview with Scarlett Rivera on there. And most recently, a look at

at Mum at You've Been on My Mind and Dylan's relationship with his first

girlfriend, Suez, who inspired that song. We have a look at their relationship and what she did

for him and how she kind of really helped to make an early Dylan. If you want to get involved
