This song had such a powerful effect on me- and probably my first exposure to the PSG ( northern boy)
It was kind of scandalous whe it first came out.
Anyway who played on the original Dylan recording? |

| Pete Drake. Yes, a watershed song for lots of us Yankees, although I heard guys like Tom Brumley with Buck Owens before that. |

It was Pete Drake. Pete played on other cuts on the Nashville Skyline album and the John Wesley Harding album. I'll be your Baby Tonight was one of the cuts.

| Come to think of it, Pete also recorded that song on an instrumental album. |

Starday Records released several instrumental LPs of Pete Drake, of course, really nice stuff... including the first "fuzz" tone I ever heard on a steel, a little diddie called "The Spook", as well as the "talking" stuff.

| Another VERY interesting recording featuring Pete Drake is the album (recently reissued) by aband once out of SF called Mother Earth titled "Make a Joyful Noise"- this was recorded at Bradley's Barn in Nashville and features (also) Boz Scaggs on rythmn guitar on several cuts. Along with the great Tracy Nelson- I had not heard this album in a "coon's age" as they say down there and it STILL sounds great. Anybody out there care to second this thought? |
