Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited [studio-1965]

[filthyphillyboy]

God said to Abraham kill me a son.

dylan's father was named Abraham & he "killed" Bob one night when Bob was about 15 years old, standing in front of the mirror in his bedroom, pretending he was a Rock n Roll star.

@darthsarth ..highway 61 is also where Bob Dylan grew up in Hibbing MN...highway 61 starts in New Orleans ..up thru..Mississippi..the heat of the blues..than up to Chicago home of the..modern blues..than west to Minnesota where Dylan was born..It takes a north from there up to Canada and ends in Thunder Bay..Ontario..where I am from

Once a very long time ago, my band played this at a Hell's Angels party...gotta keep them Angels Happy.

[debjorgo]

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on" God say, "No." Abe say, "What?" God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but The next time you see me comin' you better run"

(The music gives Abe a little time to think.) Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?" God says, "Out on Highway 61."

Wasn't Hwy 61 where the crossroad is? You meet the Devil and sell your soul to be able to play the blues.

Bob Dylan is my muse!

[garyp4205]

Great song, but frankly, Bugs Henderson does it a hell of lot better on his "Four Tens Strike Again" album.

[stllaxer]

[squirrelygirl44]

Sounds a bit like he has to shout over the band

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

i read that that whistle sound was al kooper joking around as a police officer blowing the whistle to anybody using drugs at the studio

[Xpsychedelic60sX]

[ghoti75]

@Bettysdolls no hard feelings btw

[Bettysdolls]

@ghoti75 The organ melody fits better to the song.

Dylan's father's first name was Abraham. Abraham "killed" Bob when Bob was in junior high school.

Johnny Winter does an awesome version of this !

[sockington1]

@47HTH it won't be as good as this - you cannot improve on the original

In Israel if you go to the intersection of Highway 60 and Highway 1 you are in ..........

JERUSALEM, where Abraham slew the lamb provided by GOD
