Bob Dylan was an artist that the band found themselves returning to when impromptu jams would break out in the studio.
Lennon openly admitted to coalescing his love of Dylan into his work with The Fab Four. The singer said he went through a ‘Dylan period’ in which he tried to emulate the American’s signature songwriting style. “I don’t know when exactly it started,” Lennon once said. “Like ‘I’m A Loser’ or ‘Hide Your Love Away,’ or those kinds of things. Instead of projecting myself into a situation, I would just try to express what I felt about myself which I had done in me books.”
George Harrison, of course, even recruited Dylan to join The Travelling Wilbury’s during the 1980s, and the two of them had a tight-knit bond that lasted until the guitarist’s death.

Paul McCartney revealed a few years ago: “There’s one or two people who I would be quite nervous about,” “Bob Dylan would make me go, ‘Oh my God, what am I gonna say?’ I did see him, we did Coachella… I got to talk to Bob there and he was really nice.
“I don’t know why I would’ve been nervous, but you get that with some people. It is a funny thing actually when you think about it — ‘what do you have to do to get secure in yourself.’ I would have thought that I would have done enough now to just go, ‘I’m cool, I don’t need to be nervous about anyone.’ It’s a human condition, I think.”
During the Let It Be jams, The Fab Four burst into an array of Dylan covers while in the studio, ranging from hits like ‘Like A Rollin’ Stone’ and ‘I Want You’ to deep cuts such as ‘Please, Mrs Henry’. In total, they played his tracks 18 times throughout the sessions.
The record was initially working under the planned title of Get Back; however, the project would then be shelved with the mixes, and it eventually became Let It Be.

Originally, the idea behind Get Back was The Beatles “getting back” to their roots and playing new songs for a live audience without any studio tricks.
These covers of Dylan are loose, under-rehearsed, and undeniably thrilling.
