"Bob Dylan Blues"
Song

"Bob Dylan Blues" is a song written in 1965[1] by Syd Barrett, the founder of Pink Floyd. Recorded during sessions for Barrett, it was unreleased until it turned up in 2001 and was released on The Best of Syd Barrett.

Writing and recording

It was in a friendly way both gently lampooning Bob Dylan's early style and success while also embracing Dylan. The song was supposedly written by Barrett after attending a concert in 1964.[1] It's one of Syd's very earliest songs written before he even had a publishing deal.[2] This song, along with "Terrapin" and "Maisie",[3] reflected Barrett's early interest in the blues.[3]

The song was recorded on February 26th 1970,[4][5][6] and was since largely forgotten about until David Gilmour unearthed the tape in his personal collection.[2][7] It was released in 2001 on the Barrett compilation The Best of Syd Barrett: Wouldn't You Miss Me?.[8]
