It Ain't Me Babe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"It Ain't Me Babe" is the title of a 1964 song by Bob Dylan, first included on his Another Side of Bob Dylan album. Dylan and Johnny Cash admired each others' work a great deal, and with Dylan's blessing, Cash recorded the song with June Carter, which became a hit. This song was also featured in the 2005 film about Cash's life, Walk the Line, and was performed by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.

In the film Blow, George Jung (played by Johnny Depp) recites a line from "It Ain't Me Babe" while on trial for narcotics smuggling.

In 1965 The Turtles also had a hit single of the song, which was then featured on their album of the same name.

"It Ain't Me Babe" was among many Dylan songs recorded by Joan Baez in the early years of their careers. Baez' version appeared on Joan Baez/5.

It Ain't Me Babe was also the title of an underground comix anthology, edited by Trina Robbins in 1970 and published by Last Gasp. It was among the first comics to feature all women artists, and it stands as an early example of the feminist art produced as part of the Women's Liberation movement.
