If I meet someone who is as big of a fan of Dylan as I am, I don't need to know anything else about them to know that I will get along with them extremely well. People that truly appreciate dylan and what he has done seem to have a certain mindset in life I find and its one I personally have alot of time for and can relate to.

If that’s the case then you and I could be best friends because I’ve been listening religiously since I discovered him in 97. Time out of mind came out that year and I bought all his 60s albums a few days later. I bought his albums chronologically after I bought time out of mind, starting with his first album from 62

Bob dylan is the only one that can truly sing

Dylan's music has the power to portray so beautifully an image that one had never seen before. Not only that, we also experience it through his voice, guitar and harmonica. I can't stop listening to this masterpiece!!

First heard this song on a 'bootleg' record I bought when I was 18 - I'm 69 now - it still gets to me !- the exceptional, unique, amazing Bob Dylan

I've heard another version of this song, but this is the first time I'm hearing this one and I'm almost crying, Bob is my favorite singer forever

This man is a stunning and wonderful songwriter and musician.

Man I'm glad I've found this again. Been about 10 years looking for this song. Love you dylan

I found this song on the bootleg albums years ago while helping my friend move. As payment for my labor, he gave me them. Thank god!!! So many great songs.

This is always one of my favourite Dylan songs to sing along to.

No matter how many times I listen, it hits me like the first. So human and bare. I close my eyes and see it all.

The fact that this wasn't even released until approx thirty years later speaks volumes. Imagine just having this in the back catalogue. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

I’ve been saying for years that Dylan’s pitch on this song is perfect. Bob always serves the song and doesn’t try to dominate or overwhelm it. That’s part of what makes him the outstanding folk singer of this or any era. He learned that from the old blues singers and of course from Woody and Pete.

How to make a desperately sad song beautiful.

That harmonica is heart-breaking

I wonder if he will do the same as Paul McCartney......Must be a ton of stuff not popularly known....ɓut probably well appreciated....Joan Baez found his scribbles of Love is just a four letter word down the back of his or her couch and recorded it herself....Dylan himself congratulated her on that song not even recognising his own song...Not sure if that's true..

One of Dylan's greatest early recordings... and Uncle Tupelo's 1990s version is, for me, one of the great Dylan covers. (I know it's an old folk song and not strictly a Dylan original, but the Tupelo version is VERY close to Dylan's particular take)

@@erinbird5918 Well, Bob added a verse, but where the song came from is disputed between America and Ireland. What does seem clear, is that the origin is in the 1920's.

The bottom line though is that this is an incredible song and Bob's interpretation is a knockout ~ deep & gorgeous.

I discovered this beautiful song through the bootlegs recordings, thirty five years ago maybe, here, in France. I remember how I fell instantly in love with it. This song deals with human weakness and spirituality. Thank you Bob Dylan !

This one goes nicely with "Copper Kettle" off 'Self Portrait'. I also like the 'Live at the Gaslight' version of this one. Real beautiful harmonica and those sorrowful lyrics. So gorgeous.

Damn… Mind blowing… He was so good. Well polished.

So glad the bootleg stuff is finally on YT.

This song seems to really hit the spot deep down and reach the core of our essential

Some people criticise Bob Dylan but I figure they've heard only a tiny fraction of his catalogue. Sad really, they surely don't know what they're missing, Keep on listening to the billboard 100/top of the pops boys.
