So simple, the chord progression is as basic as it can get, but it's so moving. The lyrics, the feeling he puts into it, just the atmosphere of the song.

I really like the atmosphere and textures of the
Pat Garrett soundtrack in general. My favorite albums for Dylan's vocals are the '67 basement tapes (for their playfulness),
Nashville Skyline (the smooth country crooning),
New Morning (singing with a cold! which somehow went well with his skewed piano playing), through '74's
Planet Waves -- throughout that period he toned down the nasality and his vocals became more supple and emotive.
