The story behind
The song It Ain't Me Babe, written by Bob Dylan, was born from a moment of personal searching. It is said that Dylan began to shape it in 1963, while he was in Italy, looking for his then-partner, Suze Rotolo, who was studying there. This experience seems to have marked a turning point in his work, exploring new forms of expression and delving into the complexities of the human experience, something that is noticeable in several of the compositions from that period. The recording of this piece, along with others from the album, took place in June 1964 at CBS studios in New York, under the production of Tom Wilson. The result was a song that, while rooted in the folk genre, captured an attitude that would resonate in very diverse ways.
The impact of It Ain't Me Babe was felt quickly. By mid-1965, the Los Angeles surf rock band The Crossfires, who deeply admired Dylan, were seeking a new musical direction. Influenced by the folk rock sound that was gaining ground, and with the desire to record something that reflected this trend, they suggested this song as their first single under their new name: The Turtles. The Turtles' version, recorded in Hollywood, moved away from Dylan's original approach, incorporating characteristic folk rock elements such as the twelve-string guitar and the use of the tambourine, and seeking a dynamism that was reminiscent of other bands of the era. The recording was done at Western Recorders studios, and was produced by Bones Howe.
