Various Artists – Visions Of Johanna - 26 Great Versions
A song written by Bob Dylan, it first appeared on his “Blonde On Blonde” LP in 1966.
From Wiki:
Dylan first recorded the song in New York City in November 1965 backed by The Hawks, under the working title of "Freeze Out", but was dissatisfied with the results. Dylan introduced the song in live performances in 1966 with the words "Seems Like A Freeze-Out". When the “Blonde On Blonde” recording sessions moved to Nashville in February 1966, Dylan attempted the composition again with different musicians (Al Kooper, Robbie Robertson, Joe South, Charlie McCoy, Wayne Moss, Kenneth Buttrey), and decided to release this performance. Recently, all of the alternate versions of the song have been officially released, but some only on a limited edition collectors set: many of them are November 1965 or later 1966 studio outtakes, and two others are live performances from his 1966 world tour.
The "Visions of Johanna" studio recording sessions were released in their entirety on the 18-disc Collector's Edition of “The Bootleg Series Vol. 12: The Cutting Edge 1965–1966” on November 6, 2015.
