"Bob Dylan's Blues" was recorded on July 9, 1962, during the third
Freewheelin' session. Dylan recorded several new compositions that day, including "
Blowin' in the Wind", a song he had already performed live but had yet to record in the studio. Other tracks recorded during the session included "Down the Highway," and "
Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance". Master takes of the four songs were selected and set aside for the final album. Dylan later recorded the song as a
demo for his
music publisher,
M. Witmark & Sons. This version, taped in April 1963 at Witmark's studio, was officially released in October 2010 on
The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 – The Witmark Demos: 1962–1964. ==References==
