How to explain,,, most folks have lost interest by 3:17 in this , one of a kind, masterpiece. But what goes before, only sort of prepares you for the absolute genius to follow, when R.L. wrenches the guts out of a slide guitar, then intensifies the pain again and again... So that you are left knowing that he lived that... what he is singing... Bob Dylan wrote the words and penned the tune, but truth be told R.L. is more qualified to sing and play it.

[idiotnumber8]

Yah, these musicians express this work on a more basic level than I have heard live, although even live by others, the lyrics hit me; and that has to be respected as Dylan's.(The guy does know language better than most of us, and also perceives the world more straight-forwardly than most of us can. The more people stick their heads in the sand, otherwise, the worse the situation gets.) Now, get this: I heard this song live over ten years ago already, and was impressed with it back even then.

@j0381ack - uh...that's most certainly NOT RL playing slide at 3:17 - that's NOT his guitar style at ALL.

A series of observations and declarative justifications for... the blues. - Dig that crazy horn!

[royandhisshadow]

-10 today I'm working on truck,car has a flat and now it's snowing. I went inside and while drinking a hot cup of coffee I listened to this song. It put the bounce back in my step.

[MrReymoclif714]

There is another version of this song that concentrates on a more commercial angle? I love Burnsides licks and instrumentation though!

[TheAdmiralsemmes]

Thumpin babes thumpin

[thegreatozz1]

Damn strait, everythings broken. Makes you just want to go to the bar and drink....and cuss......and smoke cigars..........and stagger home........

To the poster below who posted,...... "I would love to haveseen Dylans face when he heard this one for the first time"

The conection with Solberg and Little Bobby Zimmerman as Mrs. Solberg used to refer to him. The Zimmerman family and the Solberg family lived side by side the same duplex in Hibbing, Minnesota back in the mid to late 50's. Jim and Bob kept in touch.........and Bob liked Jim's version.
