Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash
Nashville, TN
02/17/69
Label: Yellow Dog Records, Luxembourg, 1994
Catalog Number: YD-049
OU: “During the Nashville Skyline sessions on February 18, 1969,
Dylan teamed up with Johnny Cash at Columbia Music Row Studios
in Nashville to record over a dozen songs. Only one of these made it
onto Nashville Skyline (“Girl from the North Country”). Most of the
rest are here, in perfect fidelity. With full band backing (including
Carl Perkins on electric guitar), the pair run through easygoing,
rockabilly-tinged versions of Dylan songs, Cash songs, old Sun
rockabilly chestnuts (“That’s All Right Mama” and “Matchbox”),
and a bit of country gospel. Johnny Cash, in fact, dominates the
proceedings: he sings lead more often, and the mere two Dylan tunes
(“Girl from the North Country” and “One Too Many Mornings”) are
outweighed by a larger heaping of Cash classics (“Big River,” “I
Walk the Line,” “I Still Miss Someone,” “Ring of Fire,” “Guess
Things Happen That Way”). The disc also includes three interesting
Dylan performances at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on
May 1, 1969 recorded for a TV broadcast on The Johnny Cash
Show. Judged as a loose, informal meeting of two giants, it’s
pleasurable and intensely satisfying listening experience.”
