As Dylan performed a two-week run at Gerde's Folk City in 1961 in New York's Greenwich Village, he began gathering songs to include on an album. Ultimately, only two songs would be penned by Dylan. The bulk of the album consisted of traditional, blues, and country tunes. When Hammond and Dylan entered Columbia's 7th Avenue Studio in November 1961, many songs were recorded in one take. Dylan resisted requests for second attempts, telling Hammond he couldn't see himself singing the same song twice. Let's take a look at the story behind one of those songs, "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down" by Bob Dylan.
