"One More Cup of Coffee (Valley Below)" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, which was released as the fourth track on his seventeenth studio album Desire (1976).

"One More Cup of Coffee (Valley Below)" was the first song that Dylan wrote after the release of his critically acclaimed album Blood on the Tracks on January 20, 1975,[2][a][3][4] and the only one completed by June 1975.

That day's sessions featured a large band including Dylan (guitar, vocal), Emmylou Harris (vocals), Eric Clapton, Vinnie Bell, Neil Hubbard, Perry Lederman, and Jim Mullen (all guitar), Erik Frandsen (slide guitar), Rob Stoner (bass), Alan Spenner (bass), Scarlet Rivera (violin), Sheena Seidenberg (tenor saxophone), Mel Collins (tenor saxophone), Sugar Blue (harmonica), Dom Cortese (mandolin/accordion), Michael Lawrence (trumpet), Tony O'Malley (keyboards), Jody Linscott (percussion), John Sussewell (drums), and Dyan Birch, Francis Collins, and Paddy McHugh (background vocals).

"[1] In Harris's account, she did not know the songs before the recording sessions, and, with a copy of the lyrics to hand, "the band would start playing and [Dylan] would kind of poke me when he wanted me to jump in.

"[14] Jack Garner of The Bellingham Herald wrote that Dylan's Hebraic chant technique represented "the first time his Jewishness has been in the forefront of his music.

Stoner said in an interview in Mojo in 2012 that this was unplanned and that he played it because recording had started but violinist Scarlet Rivera was not ready and Dylan was just strumming his own guitar.

[1] Heylin felt that during the Rolling Thunder Revue tour, "all the best parts of the two arrangements now came together as a contiguous whole, supporting a truly haunting lead vocal.

"[22] According to Trager, The Rolling Thunder Revue shows were "shaped by Scarlet Rivera's signature violin sound", whilst performances in 1978 were "dramatically transformed ... with an endearingly campy herky-jerky arrangement that included a sensual conga riff, a sax solo by Steve Douglas, and some fine vocals.

[15] In The Los Angeles Times, Robert Hilburn called the track "an intense engaging portrait that deserves a place alongside Dylan's most arresting compositions.

"[24] In a positive review in The Miami Herald, Bill Cosford wrote that Dylan, Harris and Rivera were "in perfect balance" on the track, adding that the vocalists "sing not so much with as AT each other while the roving violin keeps the song just beyond easy description.

"[25] Al Rudis of The Chapel Hill News described the sound as having "inflections of old Middle and Eastern European folk music" and as perhaps being influenced by the style of a cantor.

[34] A version of the song by Tom Jones was included on his 2021 album Surrounded By Time, and was described by Robin Murray of Clash as "an intense yet sombre performance.
