Tangled Up in Blue - Take 3, Remake 3

This is a very personal song for Dylan. In an oblique narrative, it deals with the changes he was going through, including his marriage falling apart. A predominant theme is trying to escape the past.

Dylan wrote this in the summer of 1974 at a farm he had just bought in Minnesota. He had been touring with The Band earlier that year.

Blood On The Tracks was Dylan's first album under his new contract with Columbia Records. He left the label a year earlier to record for David Geffen's label, Asylum Records.
