The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was his second album and his only album released this year. Yet he had enough outtakes from it to release a second album this year. The album had an original tracklist that got aborted. One of these was a song called Talkin' John Birch Blues. The talking blues was a form of blues that featured talking over music instead of singing and was popularized by Woody Guthrie. Bob Dylan was invited to perform on The Ed Sullivan Show and wanted to play the song. The network wouldn't let him and wanted him to play a different song, but he refused and walked off the stage. This controversy caused the label to not include the song on the album. So because of this, he would record a new song a year later to the day called Talkin' World War III Blues. Though he had another talking blues song that I used on this one. Most of these songs would later get released on the Bootleg Series Volume 1.
