Mixed-Up Confusion is a song written and recorded by Bob Dylan, and released as his first single. The song was recorded with an electric band on November 14, 1962 during the sessions for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, but was not used on that album, which, aside from "Corrina, Corrina", was entirely acoustic. Instead the song, backed with "Corrina, Corrina" (a different take from the Freewheelin' one), a traditional blues song, appeared as Dylan's first single, released in the U.S. on December 14, 1962 as Columbia 4-42656.[1] According to legend, Dylan wrote the song in a cab on the way to the Columbia Studios for the recording session.[2]
