Lyrically, those same two songs stand out from the rest of the album. They are warm, cheerful love songs, lacking any of the Biblical references found throughout the album. "If "John Wesley Harding" was the album made the morning after a dark night of the soul," wrote Heylin, "these two songs suggested a newly cleansed singer returning from the edge." Accentuating the difference is the use of pedal steel guitarist Pete Drake on both tracks. The overall sound of these two tracks sounds closer to country, anticipating the country rock movement to follow as well as Dylan's next album, "Nashville Skyline". But producer Johnston said that despite some of the instrumentation, "I don't think it's really country; some of it is like country; some of it is like the '29 dust-bowl days of Woodie Guthrie".
