365 Days of Dylan, Day 65: You're a Big Girl Now

365 Days of Dylan, Day 65: You're a Big Girl Now from 1975's Blood on the Tracks, one of my favorite albums. I love the interplay between the acoustic guitars at the start and Dylan's breathy, weary vocals. Lyrics.

I saw My Morning Jacket play before Dylan and Wilco a few years  ago at Toyota Park in Chicago. On Chimes of Freedom, My Morning Jacket delivers a great rendition of this song.
