Wikipedia article
"'Outlaw Blues'" is a song by Bob Dylan, recorded on January 14, 1965. It was originally released on Dylan's fifth studio album, 'Bringing It All Back Home'.
Recording
An acoustic version of the song, recorded the day before the album track, was released in 2005 as part of the 'Three Song Sampler' EP, which contains outtakes from the soundtrack of the Martin Scorsese Dylan biographical film 'No Direction Home', and was eventually released on 'The Bootleg Series Vol. 12: The Cutting Edge 19651966'.
An unusual aspect of this song is that Dylan overdubbed his harmonica part over his lead vocals, rather than alternate between voice and harmonica.
Live performance
On September 20, 2007, Dylan played this song live in concert for the first time during a show in Nashville. He was joined onstage for the performance by Jack White of The White Stripes.[http://my.execpc.com/~billp61/092007s.html Bob Dylan - Bob Links - Nashville, Tennessee - set list - 09/20/07]
