High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mixed-Up Confusion is a song written and recorded by Bob Dylan. It was recorded with an electric band on November 14th 1962 during the sessions for The Freewheelin` Bob Dylan, but was not used on that album, which was entirely acoustic. Instead the song, backed with "Corrina, Corrina", a traditional blues song, appeared as Dylan`s first single, released in the U.S. on 14 December 1962 as Columbia 4-42656. According to legend, Dylan wrote the song in a cab on the way to the Columbia Studios for the recording session. This version was released in the Biograph box set in 1985. A different, previously unreleased, take from the same session appeared on the compilation album Masterpieces in 1978.
