"Maggie's Farm" finds Bob Dylan with the amps cranked. He cut it on January 15, 1965, and it came out that March on Bringing It All Back Home, a slab of electric blues of the kind he kept returning to through 1965 and 1966. Tom Wilson produced the session and Frank Owens is on piano.
It took Dylan a single take, and the record backs that up: even the 18-disc Collector's Edition of The Cutting Edge, which gathers every alternate take from those years, holds just the one version. Britain got it as a single in June, and it climbed to number 22 there. Dylan came back to it on stage, too; a live take recorded in Fort Collins, Colorado opens his 1976 live album Hard Rain.
