“Mr. Tambourine Man” is a song written and performed by Bob Dylan and featured on his 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home, produced by Tom Wilson. After Dylan wrote it, he produced a demo in December 1964, which The Byrds’ version is based on. Dylan’s recording of the song is placed at #106 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[1] Due to The Byrds’ version of the song also making the list at #79, it is one of three songs to place twice, along with “Walk This Way” by both Aerosmith and Run-DMC with Perry and Tyler, and “Blue Suede Shoes” by both Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley.[2]
Two earlier recordings by Dylan of the song, one live at New York’s Philharmonic Hall dating from October 31, 1964, and one recorded with Ramblin’ Jack Elliott on backing vocals during sessions for Another Side of Bob Dylan (also 1964), have recently been given official releases; they are available on The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964, Concert at Philharmonic Hall (2004) and The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home (2005) respectively. Videos of this song with Bob Dylan singing and playing it at the Newport Folk Festival of 1964 can be seen on No Direction Home, a documentary film by Martin Scorsese, and Murray Lerner’s The Other Side Of The Mirror.
Structurally, the song is notable for the fact that it begins with an iteration of the chorus, rather than following the conventional pop song structure, which typically employs a brief instrumental introduction that leads into the first verse.
