"Subterranean Homesick Blues" is a song by Bob Dylan, recorded on January 14, 1965, and released as a single by Columbia Records, catalogue number 43242, on March 8. It was the lead track on the album BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME, released some two weeks later. It was Dylan's first Top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also entered the Top 10 on the singles chart in the United Kingdom. The song has subsequently been reissued on numerous compilations, the first being the 1967 singles compilation BOB DYLAN'S GREATEST HITS. One of Dylan's first electric recordings, "Subterranean Homesick Blues" is also notable for its innovative film clip, which first appeared in D.A. Pennebaker's documentary DONT LOOK BACK.
An acoustic version of the song, recorded the day before the single, was released on THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 1-3 (RARE & UNRELEASED) 1961-1991.
