John Wesley Harding · 1967

I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight

Pete Drake's pedal steel on the closing track pointed toward the country sound of Nashville Skyline.

The words

A relaxed invitation to drop all worries and spend the night together.

A lover speaks gently to his partner, urging her to set aside her worries and the outside world and simply settle in for the night together. It is short and untroubled, with a lazy, good-humored charm and one warm promise at its heart that keeps returning. After the stern parables elsewhere on John Wesley Harding, it closes the album on a note of ease. The pedal steel of Pete Drake gives it a soft country lilt that pointed ahead to Nashville Skyline.
