I remember that I was so disoriented that I desperately searched for some kind of handhold to keep me from falling. That stabilizer came in the form of Bob Dylan&#8217;s 1965 classic album, \u201cBringing It All Back Home.\u201d Ironically, there was nothing at all reassuring anywhere on this album.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBringing It All Back Home\u201d is divided into two distinctly different sides. On side one of the original LP, Dylan is backed by electric instruments and drums \u2014a move that alienated him from the folk music community. Likewise, on the acoustic second side of the album, he distanced himself from the protest songs with which he had become closely identified, as his lyrics became more and more abstract and personal. One such song is the enigmatic love song, \u201cShe Belongs To Me.\u201d It describes a woman who clearly belongs to no one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe Belongs To Me\u201d was subsequently released on several Dylan compilations and live albums. It was also the \u201cB Side\u201d of a 1965 single featuring \u201cSubterranean Homesick Blues.\u201d Dylan plays \u201cShe Belongs To Me\u201d at a brisk tempo, which I have considerately slowed down here. I have also given Alrick the leeway to express himself through his wonderful bass playing, including his moving solo.<\/p>\n<p>Richard S\u00e9guin &#8211; voice, 12-string guitar, classical guitar<br \/>\nAlrick Huebener &#8211; upright bass<\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-CA\" align=\"LEFT\"><a href=\"http:\/\/richardaseguin.com\/fra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/She-Belongs-To-Me-Site-Mix-3-17.mp3\">She Belongs To Me <\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"fr-CA\" align=\"LEFT\">This is the 10th Dylan piece we play on this site and it certainly won&#8217;t be the last.
