Harrison wrote the song in August 1969 as a message of encouragement to Bob Dylan, who was then making a highly publicised comeback to the concert stage, accompanied by the Band, with a headlining performance at the Isle of Wight Festival. "Behind That Locked Door" is a rare Harrison composition in the country music genre and it was the second song dealing with the friendship between himself and Dylan, after their 1968 collaboration "I'd Have You Anytime". Its lyrics reflect Dylan's elusive nature, as well as the high regard in which Harrison held the American singer's work.Harrison recorded the song in London with co-producer Phil Spector, shortly after taking part in a session for Dylan's New Morning album in New York. The recording features a prominent contribution from Nashville pedal steel virtuoso Pete Drake, and twin keyboard parts from Gary Wright and Billy Preston in the tradition of the Band, whose sound had a marked influence on Harrison's arrangement. On release, Alan Smith of the NME called the song "a tremendous piece of country-meets-Hawaii" and recommended that it be sent to country singer Slim Whitman "without further delay".A well-regarded alternate take of "Behind That Locked Door" appears on the 2012 Harrison compilation Early Takes: Volume 1. Among other artists, Olivia Newton-John, Jim James and the Felice Brothers have covered the song.. }
