You're No Good

You're No Good is the opening song on Bob Dylan's debut studio album, Bob Dylan.

Background
"You're No Good" was written and recorded by blues musician Jesse Fuller. In 1960, Fuller performed at the Exodus, a coffeehouse in Denver. A young Bob Dylan was in attendance.

Music
Dylan plays his Gibson J-50 and his harmonica (in the key of C) is played fast and high-pitched. Dylan uses a "gravelly vocal style", to give his voice a "blues patina", the only time he ever did this.
