Columbia Music Row Studios
Nashville, Tennessee
9-10 March 1966

Produced by Bob Johnston

Songs:

1. Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine)
   (recorded  March 9, 6-9 pm)
   It also served as the first and last song on most nights of the 1974 tour, which announced his live return. Between that false dawn and the start of the Never Ending Tour, fourteen years later, it was only tried out during rehearsals for a TV “in concert” in April 1976 and at rehearsals for the 1978 world tour, never gaining live relief. It was eventually restored to performance duties in 1989, initially as a show opener. By then time had telled who’d been felled.

2. Temporary Like Achilles
   (recorded March 9, 9-12 pm)
   Standing on your window, honey
   Yes, I’ve been here before
   Feeling so harmless
   I’m looking at your second door
   How come you don’t send me no regards?
   You know I want your lovin’
   Honey, why are you so hard?

3. Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35
   (recorded March 10, 12-3 am)
   Rainy Day Women happens to deal with a minority of, you know, cripples and orientals and, uh, you know, and the world in which they live, you realize, you know, you understand, you know. It’s another sort of a North Mexican kind of a thing, uh, very protesty. Very, very protesty. And, uh, one of the protestiest of all things I ever protested against in my protest years. But, uh…
   ~Bob Dylan (to Klas Burling – April 1966)
   
4. Obviously Five Believers
   (recorded March 10, 12-3 am)
   …on that blues-soaked album, Blonde on Blonde. ‘Obviously 5 Believers’ is a filler track on the album, with a repetitive and undistinguished lyric..

5. Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat
   (recorded March 10, 12-3 am)
   ..a nice, brash, somewhat ugly (sarcastic, rude, to my mind the only mean-spirited song on the album) transition between the bright, extroverted beauty of “I wan’t you”/”Memphis Blues Again” and the warm, enveloping beauty of “Just Like A Woman”.. “Leopard-Skin Pill-box hat” is a misogynous belly laugh..

6. I Want You
   (recorded March 10, 3-7 am)
   The Dylan who delivers the chorus is hurtin’. The need is real—real enough for Dylan to generally give the song an inflection of real interest when he performs it. The gorgeous tune helps, being a perfect illustration of what he was talking about when he told one reporter, as he started work on Blonde on Blonde, that he tended to “think of [a song] in terms of a whole thing. It’s not just pretty words to a tune or putting tunes to words. . . . [It’s] the words and the music [together]—I can hear the sound of what I want to say.”
