Fade out
Queen Jane Approximately opens with a question that is not really a question: who is Bob Dylan talking to? The identity of the "Queen Jane" in the title was never entirely clear. Historical figures such as Jane Grey or Jane Seymour were speculated about, as was Joan Baez —the similarity between "Jane" and "Joan", plus the folk queen nickname that Baez carried, fueled that theory for years. Dylan himself closed the subject in a rather cryptic way: he confessed to journalist Nora Ephron that Queen Jane is a man. The song was recorded on August 2, 1965 at Columbia Studios in New York, produced by Bob Johnston, and ended up on Highway 61 Revisited. It also came out as the B-side of the single One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later) in January 1966. Folk rock and garage rock sound, five verses that gradually shift the focus from the protagonist's family to her courtiers and finally to the outlaws —like a funnel that leaves her alone. The narrator's voice blends condescension, mockery and, underneath it all, a measure of compassion: he invites her to seek him out when she is ready to let go of everything superficial. Softer than Like a Rolling Stone, but with a similar edge. It was covered by Grateful Dead and The Four Seasons, and in 2005 Mojo magazine ranked it at number 70 among Dylan's best songs.
