11. The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll
(The Times They Are A-Changin', 1964)
Socialite whips black servant to death. Is sentenced to hell.
Bill Fay: "Just before I started writing, in 1964, I started playing the guitar to myself by practising The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll. Before the protest they were actual songs that you could get lost in. Take away Dylan's persona and they still stood out. Hattie Carroll? It's five chords. Even in 1964 I knew four of them. When you first start out, you can play Dylan. His songs are about the people and for the people so it makes sense that they're accessible, that they're easy to play."
