Living the Blues Boba Dylana , nagrana przez niego na dwóch sesjach w kwietniu 1969 r. i wydana na albumie Self Portrait
Utwór ten został nagrany na pierwszej i drugiej sesji do albumu 24 i 26 kwietnia 1969 r. Plonem tych sesji były także: I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know Spanish is the Loving Tongue Take Me as I Am (or Let Me Go) A Fool Such as I Let It Be Me Running . Jest to także jeden z niewielu utworów albumu, które nie uległy zmianom podczas sesji overdubbingowych w marcu i kwietniu 1970 r[1]
Utwór ten wykazuje stylowe podobieństwa do wykonawczej maniery Jerry'ego Lee Lewisa . Dylan komponując tego bluesa posłużył się zapewne nagraniem Lewisa z 1957 r. dla firmy Sun Records – I'm Feeling Sorry . Wzorem mógł być także utwór Guya Mitchella – Singing the Blues [2]
Living the Blues wraz z Minstrel Boy były jedynymi nowymi piosenkami Dylana, które znalazły się na Self Portrait . Living the Blues został najpewniej skomponowany w okresie nagrywania albumu Nashville Skyline Johnny'ego Casha Johnny Cash Show w 1969 r.
Na tle innych nagrań albumu, wykonanie tej piosenki wyróżnia się raczej pozytywnie[3]
