Drew Sheafor & Audrey Simes - “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”

Sheafor and Simes LIVE take at Stagger Inn. Somebody requested Bob Dylan so we pulled this one out from his Freewheelin’ album. It’s a well known and covered song of Bob’s, but there’s not much better than singing this one with someone who really gets you.

In the liner notes to the original Bob Dylan release, Nat Hentoff calls the song "a statement that maybe you can say to make yourself feel better... as if you were talking to yourself". It was written around the time that Suze Rotolo indefinitely prolonged her stay in Italy. The beginning of the melody is based on the public domain traditional song "Who's Gonna Buy Your Chickens When I'm Gone", which was taught to Dylan by folksinger Paul Clayton, who had used it in his song "Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons When I'm Gone?"
