George Harrison All songs A–Z

Harrison composed this track in August 1969 as an encouraging message directed at Dylan during his anticipated return to performing live, specifically for his headlining appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival alongside the Band. The song appears on Harrison's 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass. It represents an uncommon venture into country music for Harrison and serves as the second of his compositions exploring his relationship with Dylan, following their 1968 collaborative work.
