Infobox and lead edit

  • How long ago dates were does not need to be noted in the infobox
  • The exacty recording date and studio are not sourced anywhere in the body
  • WP:OVERLINK of Columbia under label(s)
  • "during the sessions for" → "during the sessions for his third studio album,"
  • "The track was written" → "The song was written"
  • "by Dylan and produced by" → "by Dylan, and produced by"
  • "started ninety seconds" → "started 90 seconds" per MOS:NUM
  • Move the standalone sentence to being in the same para as the rest since this is not enough on its own
  • "found the track enjoyable." → "found the song enjoyable."

Background and recording edit

  • Add a comma after E tuning
  • "ninety seconds into" → "90 seconds into" per MOS:NUM
  • "before saying that the song" → "until saying that the song" to avoid using before twice in one sentence
  • "and the stanza's return." is this definitely about one stanza because if multiple, remove the apostrophe
  • Source has "Dylan accompanies the bridge and stanza’s return with harmonica." BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:35, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Pipe Jimmie Tarlton to Darby and Tarlton
  • Add double speech marks around "Percy's Song"
