Lead and infobox

 * "9–10 March 1966 session" switch to MDY for consistency with American English
 * "It has been interpreted as a blues song about loneliness" any reason why blues was left out of genre in the infobox?
 * "as one of the minor songs" "minor songs" might mean "unmemorable", "insignificant"...?
 * "In 2010 the song was included" comma after year

Background and recording

 * "early morning hours of the 9–10 March 1966 Nashville session" ditto. Also add a comma after the date per MOS:COMMA
 * "Sean Wilentz feels that the song is driven by..." who is Sean Wilentz?
 * "and that he didn't want to spend much time on it" → "did not" for a more encyclopedic tone
 * "In 2010 it was included" ditto

Composition

 * "Philippe Margotin and Jean-Michel Guesdon" who are they? Critics? Biographers of Dylan? etc.
 * "The song is similar in melody and structure to Memphis Minnie's "Chauffeur Blues" " might need some attribution
 * The caption of the audio file could be moved to the prose. Keep the caption succinct.

Critical reception

 * Some quotes can be paraphrased to avoid a quote farm. I.e. "one of Dylan's most assured, commanding vocals", "the best R&B song on the album"

Other

 * Refs are reliable and properly formatted
 * Images and files are properly licensed

Verdict

 * for seven days. Mostly nitpick-y prose issues but overall a solid article. Ippantekina (talk) 04:11, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Many thanks, . I've amended the article to address all of your comments. Let me know if anything else is required. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:06, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * All should be good now except one last thing. I prefer the lead not having any inline citations (MOS:LEADCITE), so could you paraphrase the "filler" and "makeweight" comments in the lead and remove the citations? Ippantekina (talk) 02:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Does "insubstantial" work, ? Thanks, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * That should work! Passing, well done :) Ippantekina (talk) 02:47, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
