I love how first song, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35", sounds so spontaneous. Bob Dylan laughs at the beginning of the song and it doesn't sound at all scripted. Different band members can be heard hooting and hollering in the background and it also sounds genuine. Along with the energy of the music it all gives the feeling that the entire band is playing at a hoedown just for the fun of playing.

Story on the song title of
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35: During the recording of the song, a mother and daughter came into the studio to get out of the rain. Dylan correctly guessed their ages as 12 and 35. Dylan immediately decided to change the name of the song from
Everybody Must Get Stoned to
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.
Dylan recruited the horn players for the song from the ranks of a local Salvation Army Band he heard playing on the street a couple days prior to recording the song.
