25 MONDO SCRIPTO
Lay, Lady, Lay From the Nashville Skyline album, this gentlemanly but frank plea for a lover to ‘stay with your man awhile’ was a big hit for the singer. The lyrics, which switch from first person to third person and back again, have the atmosphere and diction of country music, although the image of a ‘big brass bed’ is there to be found in many a blues lyric as well. Dylan has always been ambiguous when it comes to genre.
First album release: Nashville Skyline, 1969
