About the album
The disc was recorded along with The Band members. The cover Dylan created himself. The album was originally planned to be called “Ceremonies Of The Horsemen”. This phrase from the song “ Love Minus Zero / No Limit ” from the 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home , but the release was postponed for two weeks, and Dylan decided to change the name at the last moment.
