The 20 Greatest Dylan Songs!? #14

...SEE NUMBER 13

14. Mr Tambourine Man
(Bringing It All Back Home, 1965)

You invent an entirely new kind of song and get called "corny". You can't win with some legends...

Paul McCartney: "I know it's corny, but I heard him do it at the Albert Hall [May 9, 1965], and I was aching for him to do it and knowing Dylan I thought he might not do it. It was fantastic. First half is folky, and then the second half was electric with The Band - it was the all-time concert. A really good song, very much of the period. I was lucky to be there."
