The story behind the song

This song is a heartfelt tribute from Bob Dylan to his idol, American folk legend Woody Guthrie. Dylan wrote it soon after finally meeting Guthrie in New Jersey, after traveling to New York with the intention of doing so. It conveys Dylan's deep appreciation and respect for Guthrie, even borrowing the melody from Guthrie's own song "1913 Massacre." At its heart, this song is a profound expression of admiration and gratitude from one artist to another.
