Infobox and lead

[edit]
  • Change Columbia Studio B to Columbia B in the infobox per the rules on the studio parameter
  • "of the double album Blonde on Blonde, Dylan's seventh studio album, on June 20, 1966." → "of the double album and Dylan's seventh studio album, Blonde on Blonde (1966)." or something similar since the exact release date of the album is not notable
  • Move the recording sentence to being the one after writing/production; follow it with the interpretation one
  • Move the later inclusion to being after the total number of performances in the second para, followed finally by the cover version
  • ""Absolutely Sweet Marie" was recorded at" → "It was recorded at"
  • "Rolling Stone placed the track" → "Rolling Stone placed it" with the wikilink

Background and recording

[edit]
  • You need to add Robbie Robertson's guitar playing to prose to warrant keeping the image
  • Merge the first and second paras per the overly short size
  • Where is the November 30 session sourced?
  • Add a comma after Al Kooper
  • "session musicians including" → "session musicians, including"
  • "Wayne Moss and Kenneth Buttrey," → "Wayne Moss, and Kenneth Buttrey," with the pipe
  • "initially on February 14." → "initially on February 14, 1966."
  • "during the tenth album session," → "during the 10th album session," per MOS:NUM
  • "which was released on June 20, 1966." → "on June 20, 1966." because included was already used
  • Move the last para of this section to being in comp instead since that is what it focuses on
  • "makes the track work."" → "makes the track work"." per MOS:QUOTE

Composition and lyrical interpretation

[edit]
  • Add the last para from the previous section at the start here; the instrumentation also should be mentioned in this section
  • "that line does not appear" → "the line does not appear"
  • "Journalist Paul Williams considered that" → "Journalist Paul Williams considers that"
  • [8] should solely be invoked at the end of the sentence
  • "and named "Absolutely Sweet Marie"" → "and names "Absolutely Sweet Marie""
  • "fear of being misunderstood)."" → ""fear of being misunderstood)"." per MOS:QUOTE
  • "from first to last."" → "from first to last"." per above
  • Shouldn't you use the title rather than "Dylan's song"?
  • "half sick/traffic" why is there a single quote mark to end this part but not one to start it?
  • "out of key chord."" → "out of key chord"."

Critical reception

[edit]
  • You should use a consistent past or present tense for the reviews here
  • "highly distinctive rhythm."" → "highly distinctive rhythm"." per MOS:QUOTE
  • "still felicitously possible."" → "still felicitously possible"." per above
  • "The reviewer for" → "A reviewer for"
  • "sparkling blues-rock guitar."" → "sparkling blues-rock guitar"."
  • "Dylan said of the song" → "Dylan said of the song:"

Live performances and other releases

Personnel

[edit]
  • Remove the img per MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE, especially when you have already used an image of another performer from this section
  • Pipe Kenneth Buttrey to Kenny Buttrey
