My name is Ben Barrel and this is Bob Dylan album by album, a podcast that brings you an in-depth look at each Bob Dylan studio recording record by record. Thank you for joining me on the penultimate episode on blonde on blonde. I have a tiny cold at the moment, so forgive some slightly nasal tones in my voiceover on this episode.

I thought I'd mention it.

Don't think of it as a man with a cold doing a ramble about Bob Dylan.

Think of it as a homage to the classic New Morning.

So we get to today's episode in just a second.

First, let's say hello to some new Patreon subscribers.

hello to Max, hi to Jack Lynch, and hi to Ryan Mehan as well. You can subscribe to Bob Dylan

album by album extra. It's over, I think it's six hours of podcasts on there now, including

the latest episode, which was a chat with Charlie McCoy, who is a

multi-instrumentalist that's played on a few Dylan albums, including, of course, blonde on blonde.

He had a big hand in Blonde on Blonde.

And fun enough, we talk about in the interview about one of the songs we're speaking about

on today's episode where he had a big role to play on the harmonica.

So that is available right now on the Bob Dylan album by album Extra Show.

It's the same price as a pint of beer in London per month

and the link is in the episode's description.

So let's get back to this incredible debut album.

Here we have a look at two more songs from it
