Has Dylan Ever Not Recorded in 4/4 Time?

[Rockinghorse Winner]

I was wondering if anyone recalls him recording in Waltz time, or 2/4, or
other 'alternative' time signature?

not sure i can help here, being musically inept, but here goes?

The Times They Are a-Changing? Winterlude? seem to be waltz time.

on one of the bootleg series there's an early workup of LaRS (the one
one that ends "Man my voice is shot. Wanna try it again?" also 3/4.

in Man Gave Names there's one measure that's in like 2/2.

Maybe 4th Time Around is also 3/4.

i'm sure there's more.

google "bob dylan waltz time". or "bob dylan time signatures". there's
probably some 2/4 songs too.

(oh i just did that... Rainy Day Women is 6/8 which i thought it might
be because it's essentially a "march".)

Peace, if any, be with you,

Hmm, I guess I'll need to get a new tag line - I didn't know it was so
popular. :)

Thanks, Dudley. I am surprised there are so many, since he is not known for
a complicated musical vocabulary. Yes, now I recall that Rainy Day Women IS
in 'waltz' time. 3/4 time is hard to pull off, _especially_ with a large
group like that!

Of course the Beatles famously used Waltz time on All You Need is Love.
Lennon said he wrote it in 4/4, but it seemed to drag in sessions, so they
made the change.

I love songs in odd time signatures. It adds a level of interest. It
does make singing along or tapping your feet a lil more self conscious.
