Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You (Bob Dylan Cover) feat. Joshua Lee Turner

There are two very compelling, but very different, versions of this song in Dylan's official catalog: the 1969 Nashville Skyline cut, which is loose, laid-back, and whimsical, and the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue live performance, which is densely-arranged, high-energy, and almost pleading. I find a lot of "emotional value" in both iterations, so I smushed some of the musical and lyrical ideas together to create this.

Huge, ~HUGE~ props to Josh for providing the glueing bass and organ parts just because he wanted to, and for patiently guiding my mixing efforts when I initially thought all might be lost 🤣
