Nashville Skyline

I first bought the original vinyl in '69 (yes I' m getting on a bit) but as you can imagine it now has more scratches than a monkey's armpit. This CD is great, though I'm not sure what 'remastered' actually means as it sounds as I expected. Great value for a great album from a time when real music was being made by genuinely talented artists like Dylan.

One of his greatest albums, several classic songs including the opening duet with Johnny Cash. Its brevity is a lesson that many of todays artists with overlong and variable quality albums would do well to emulate!

Strong album. A slight change of direction. All greats do this though. Gives them longevity. Lovely listening.

One of my favourite Bob Dylan albums. Probably my second favourite actually. Bob seems to have gone back to a simpler music here, a kind reminiscent of the soft 50s rock and roll songs. Naturally he adds his own touch but the simplistic lyrics and catchy rhythms make this one of his most natural easy listening albums.

I've been slow to really get into Dylan, but absolutely love this. Perfect opener duet with Johnny Cash then consistently pleasant songs throughout. 'Lay Lady Lay' remains timeless.

I'm so pleased to have obtained a CD copy of this album, having owned it a short while after it was on the music store shelves, a vinyl copy, long before the CD was introduced. The music is brilliant, Bob Dylan at his best accompanied by the "Man in Black" Johnny Cash. The copy of the CD that I received was very reasonably priced too, many thanks to the seller.

You have to be a Bob Dylan fan I suppose to buy it but I heartily recommend this CD. I have played it over and over again. Its just brilliant! Go on buy it and enjoy the music. Its a real beauty of a CD with so many good songs.

I havnt heard this album for around 30 years, its never been in my Bob Dylan collection and now [having bought CD] I know why, its bland and lacking expression. It need'nt have been, especially as he had the great Johnny Cash with him [to set the country style] on the opening track, [ which also conveys the most emotion]. Later on the live 'Hard Rain' album the song 'I thew it all away' is sung with passion and dynamic delivery, with a band that can express the songs intent, now realised. Also the live version of 'Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You' on 'Live 1975', is sung with conviction, with a band that explores that songs emotion. The popular love song 'Lay lady lay' is highly romantic, but one of this albums better tracks, apart from the opening 'Girl from the North Country'. Nashville Skyline is lightweight country and certainly not the great man at his best and in retrospect is more or less a demo with a couple of good songs.

This album was a BDay gift for my husband. He was very pleased. The sound quality was great and the white album an unexpected plus. arrived on time and in time!

Did not live to up to my expectations except for the fiist song (with Johnny Cash) and Lay Lady Lay. The rest were simply drab. The plastic cover had cracks so the packaging was poor

Super album...brevissimo ma intensissimo! Che dire...album diverso da molti altri del grandissimo Bob...sound e fascino unici! Da avere assolutamente...può piacere tantissimo anche a chi ama poco Bob Dylan!

Auffallend hier ist das 1 Lied: Bob Dylan im Stimmbruch? Manche meinen, dass er hier erst singen gelernt habe... Es isrt ein Duett mit Johnny Cash (ein 2. folgte bald). - Nashville: Der Meltingpot aus allem,, was es an music gab. - Gut waren die "Basement Tapes" inzwischen: zusammen mit "The Band" a.v.a.m. nach und nach veröffentlicht. Übrigens: Da es in diesen Zeitraum fällt: Bob Dylan war NICHT in Woodstock. Dies ist eine weit verbreitete Legende, die sich wie eine "ew'ge Krankheit" forterbt und fortpflanzt. Weniger bekannt sein dürfte, dass er um diese Zeit beim "Concert for Bangladash" (u.a. mit G. Harrison) eifrig mitwirkte (und mitunter seine Texte vergaß - nicht zum erstenmal, nicht zum letztenmal!). Also: Seit Nashville ist D.'s Stimme sonorer, und er vermag es (besser) die Töne zu halten. (Ich muss endlich nachsehen, was von Dylan bei mir noch auf Vinyl und bereits auif CD vorhanden ist. - Falls beides: umso besser. Insgesamt schätze ich auf 40 plus ....)

When I heard 'Girl from the North Country' by Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash for the first time (just recently, I'm ashamed to admit), I had to have this (vinyl) album.
