Horns: Most Likely You Go Your Way

Bob Dylan: Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine) 

[purchase]

In addition to being one of the many superbly verbose Dylan titles, “Most Likely You Go Your Way” is just jazzy. Dylan comes screamin’ in on the harp – backed up conservatively by a single trumpet – maybe… no horn expert. The horn is faded out of the mix almost entirely through the middle but quietly returns to help strut the song out alongside Dylan and his harmonica. As the lead off track on one of the first ever ‘Side 3s’ in Rock history, the song used the barnyard tempo to reel the listener back in for the second half of the seminal Blond on Blonde.




In 2007, English mixing phenom Mark Ronson earned unprecedented permission from Dylan to work-over the song. You may know Mark from his work as producer on Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black – and hey, he made her sound sober for an entire album. Ronson’s ‘cover’ interestingly enough does not take away from the song one bit. He found the original intention for the song that was hiding somewhere in the back of the mix with that lone trumpet, and simply blew it up. Ronson has been known to liberally apply horn sections to his music – and here he does not disappoint.
