Bookmark and Share  

One more cup of coffee (Valley Below) is a song by Bob Dylan from his album 'Desire'.

This 1976 recording is ranked by many as Bob Dylan's finest collaboration work.

Dylan had approached the concept of making an album from many different angels and this 17th studio album was his first attempt at a large collaborative effort.

Collaborative for Dylan meant chaotic for the rest of the band, the violin player for example, Scarlet Rivera was spotted walking down the street with her violin case as Dylan past by in his limo.

Scarlet ended up playing on most songs on the album which was recorded at several session during 1975.

Overseen by producer Don Devito, many famed musicians were involved in the making of 'Desire'.


Desire guest Artists

Eric Clapton was at one point present but he soon left the studio, advising Dylan to get a smaller band (there where five guitar players present on that day)

Emmylou Harris sings the improvised harmony on the original recording making it her first big performance as she at the time was relatively unknown.

It is very possible that Dylan surrounded himself with this many musicians since his marriage was heavily on the rocks during this time.

The song 'Sara' speaks for itself, the vocal take for 'Sara' was done with Dylan singing it to her in the studio, two years later she filed for divorce.

Another controversial track off Desire is 'Hurricane', a true tale of how Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was wrongly jailed for triple murder.

Dylan has since 1976 never performed the song again.

Desire is one of those albums that, should you buy it, it could change your perception of music.

Since its release, 'One More Cup Of Coffee' has been covered by many artists including 'The White Stripes', 'Calexico', Roger McGuinn and Robert Plant.
