4 Fantastic Bob Dylan Songs With a Woman’s Name in the Title

Bob Dylan’s songs have often explored relationships, and four of them address or centre on a woman named in the title. The article highlights how these songs range from gentle consolation to surreal storytelling and intimate reflections on marriage.

“To Ramona”, from 1964’s *Another Side of Bob Dylan*, offers comfort to a woman in distress. “Visions of Johanna”, on 1966’s *Blonde on Blonde*, contrasts the narrator’s encounters with Louise with his fixation on Johanna. Both “Isis” and “Sara” appear on 1976’s *Desire*, made largely with Jacques Levy: “Isis” is often read as reflecting Dylan’s troubled marriage, while “Sara” directly addresses his wife and recalls their family life and separation.
