Wanted Man (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds version)

~ Song

Annotation

"Bad Seed: The Biography of Nick Cave" by Ian Johnston quotes Mick Harvey's recollection about recording the song (p. 177):

“We didn’t even know how the song went,” recalls Harvey. “Nick had started singing it at a sound check and we put a two-chord arrangement into it and that became our version of the song. Originally it’s a straight four-chord turnaround which we didn’t use at all. So we wrote our own music to it, which we couldn’t claim. So, Bob Dylan wrote six verses, Nick wrote fourteen, we wrote the music and Bob Dylan got all the money. That’s a good one.”
