"Absolutely Sweet Marie" is a song written by Bob Dylan, released on his 1966 double album ''Blonde on Blonde''. The song is an exuberantly up-tempo number. == Song and background == During a 1991 interview published in Paul Zollo's book ''Songwriters on Songwriting, Expanded Fourth Edition'' (New York: Da Capo Press, 1997), Dylan gives an idea of how he sees the song in his explanation of a line about a "yellow railroad": :::That's about as complete as you can be. Every single ''letter'' in that line. It's all true. On a literal and on an escapist level.... Getting back to the yellow railroad, that could be from looking someplace. Being a performer, you travel the world. You're not just looking out of the same window everyday. You're not just walking down the same old street. So you must make yourself observe whatever. But most of the time it hits you. You don't have to observe. It hits you. Like, "yellow railroad" could have been a blinding day when the sun was so bright on a railroad someplace and it stayed on my mind.... These aren't contrived images. These are images which are just in there and have got to come out. "Absolutely Sweet Marie" was recorded on March 8, 1966 in Nashville, Tennessee. Only two complete takes of the song were recorded, the second being the master. The first take was released on ''The Bootleg Series Vol. 12: The Cutting Edge 1965–1966'' in 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bobdylan.com/us/news/bob-dylan-cutting-edge-1965-1966-bootleg-series-vol-12 )〕 Dylan did not perform "Absolutely Sweet Marie" live until 1988, and has intermittently played it since, including during a session for his MTV Unplugged appearance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Absolutely Sweet Marie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
