The story behind the song

This song comes from an album that marked an artistic comeback for Bob Dylan, following a period where he seemed to struggle with his musical identity. The album's atmospheric sound, crafted by producer Daniel Lanois, contributes to its distinctive feel, though Dylan himself later expressed some dissatisfaction with the sound. It's a part of one of Dylan's most acclaimed albums, which went on to win three Grammy Awards. Playing it means stepping into a moment of renewed creative energy from a legendary songwriter.
