"Most of the Time" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released as the sixth track (or the first song on Side Two of the vinyl) of his 1989 album Oh Mercy. The song was written by Dylan and produced by Daniel Lanois. The album version of "Most of the Time" was recorded on March 12, 1989, in a mobile studio at 1305 Soniat St., New Orleans, and released on Oh Mercy in September of that year. Two studio out-takes from the same set of recording sessions were released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs: Rare and Unreleased 1989–2006 in 2008, and a new version recorded on March 16, 1990, was issued as a promotional single and video in 1990.
The recordings for Oh Mercy were influenced by The Neville Brothers album Yellow Moon, which was produced by Lanois and included two covers of Dylan's songs. "Most of the Time" is a love ballad that has been described as a fan favorite. Its popularity was aided by its being featured in the 2000 film High Fidelity.[2]
