Thanks @vslyke.bsky.social This was debuted live last night, a song that Dylan might have sent to Elvis, then lost interest in after The King turned it down, yet crept back into his head for whatever reason 60 years on. Will he ever play it again, I wonder? Seems too slight to become a set regular.
No recording yet, but Bob Dylan last night performed the Basement Tapes song, Baby, Won't You Be My Baby, in Troutdale, Oregon. Here's how it sounded nearly 60 years ago.
