Subterranean

"Subterranean Homesick Blues" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Recorded on January 14, 1965, it was released as a single in the U.S. by Columbia Records on March 8, and release in the U.K. followed on April 23. It is the first track on the album Bringing It All Back Home, released some two weeks later. It was Dylan's first Top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also entered the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. The song has been reissued on various compilations, starting with 1967's Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits. One of Dylan's first electric recordings, "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is also notable for its innovative music video, which first appeared in D. A. Pennebaker's documentary Dont Look Back. An acoustic version of the song, recorded the day before the single, was released on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991. "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is ranked 187th on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. In its contemporary review, Cash Box described it as a "rockin’-country folk blueser with a solid beat and catchy lyrics" and "wild" guitar and harmonica playing.
