One Too Many Mornings

January 13, 1964

One Too Many Mornings is a folk song by Bob Dylan, which was first released in 1964 on the album The Times They Are A - Changin '.

He describes the sad end of a relationship, because the lovers have simply nothing more to say. He was recorded in the studios of Columbia Records with producer Tom Wilson on October 24, 1964.

Today it is disputed whether Dylan had thought when writing the piece to his ex-girlfriend Suze Rotolo, or if the piece without precedent came to be. Later, it was often played by other musicians in concerts and recorded in the studio. The first known cover version is by Burl Ives, whose album The Times They Are A- Changin ' merely by the fact became known, because five of the eleven songs of Bob Dylan and there were also still had the same title as the album Dylan. When Joan Baez Any Day Now in 1968 took up with an album with Dylan songs, she also played One Too Many Mornings a for the project. Another very well-known cover version of the play, which was never officially released, is from Bob Dylan himself, as he recorded the song in Nashville in February 1969 in a jam session with Johnny Cash while he was working on his album Nashville Skyline. This recording appeared later, however, as a bootleg. Cash himself had already recorded the song during the 60s again, but his version was not published until 1978 on the compilation Johnny & June. He also recorded the song in 1986 with Waylon Jennings in duet for the album Heroes. The song was also covered by The Beau Brummels, The Panics, David Gray and The Kingston Trio.
