Song of the Day 50 : Bob Dylan Blind Willie McTell

When Bob Dylan recorded Infidels in 1983 he recorded a song call Blind Willie McTell.  However for some reason only known to him he left what would  have easily been the best song on the album off it.  He is Dylan after all.

The Band heard it on a bootleg of outtakes and started to play it live.  Apparently Dylan heard them play it, started playing it again and eventually released the acoustic version of the song on his first batch of bootleg recordings in 1991.  No matter what  version there is no denying how good the song is - One of Dylan's least known but also one of his best.
