MUSIC URBAN LEGEND<\/span><\/u>: Bob Dylan had an amusing response to The Byrds changing the lyrics to one of his songs.<\/p>\n

Late in 1967, Bob Dylan and the Band got together in the basement of “Big Pink” (a house in Woodstock that a few members of the band owned) and recorded a dozen or so songs. Dylan and the Band had been jamming for most of 1967, mostly recording cover songs of other artists, but as time went by, Dylan soon began coming up with new songs of his own (including a couple of songs he co-wrote with members of the Band).<\/p>\n

These songs were generally intended to be demos for other artists to hear to see if they wanted to do their own versions of the songs.<\/p>\n

These almost mythological jam sessions were officially released in 1975 as The Basement Tapes.<\/p>\n
