The lead vocals are by Bob Dylan. Additional vocals were added by Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison prior to the reissue, along with a guitar solo by Lynne.

And then the other songs… The song called ‘Like A Ship’, which is a big kind of folk song. And ‘Maxine’, which is a rollicking one, like a kind of Latin American type of thing. They got lot of fun things. They’re very interesting.”
