Nashville Skyline is the ninth studio album by Bob Dylan, released in 1969 through Columbia Records. A departure from his previous albums, this album sees Dylan dive in head-first into the developing country rock genre, even singing a duet with Johnny Cash on "Girl From The North Country". Not only that, this album sees a new singing style for Dylan - one that is arguably the most accessible to those who otherwise can't get into Dylan.Upon release, it was greeted with positive reviews and did very well commercially. "Lay Lady Lay" was a big international hit and "I Threw It All Away" and "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You", while charting low at the time, have remained fan favourites ever since.In a case of What Could Have Been "Lay Lady Lay" was originally supposed to appear on the soundtrack of the later Oscar winning film Midnight Cowboy from 1969, but Dylan could not submit it in time to be included in the movie.Outtakes from the album, including an entire session of Dylan/Cash duets, were released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 15—Travelin' Thru in 2019.

New Sound Album: While John Wesley Harding from 1967 sees Dylan dabbling in Country, it is with this album that he fully immerses himself in it. Not to mention his more smooth, accessible singing here.

Miniscule Rocking: One of only two Dylan albums in which every single song is under four minutes (New Morning is the other one). "Country Pie" is a little over 90 seconds (but became a live staple for Dylan later in his career), and several others just barely exceed 2:00.

Vocal Evolution: In this album, Dylan's vocal style turns from a nasal, almost unintelligible whine to a smooth country crooning.

Silly Love Songs: This album is filled with them. But what do you expect from a Country album? Fittingly, "Lay Lady Lay" and "Peggy Day" were both recorded on Valentine's Day 1969.

Rearrange the Song
 Nashville Skyline (Music) / int_b24ce4b2
comment
Rearrange the Song: "Girl From The North Country" originally appeared on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Here it's redone as a duet with Johnny Cash. It's slowed down and some lyrics get omitted. As the full session tapes show, it was a totally off-the-cuff choice, with June Carter Cash (who was in the studio with them) suggesting the song to Dylan and Cash.

Shout-Out
 Nashville Skyline (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: "Girl From The North Country", just like the version on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan borrows a few lines from the song "Scarborough Fair" "To Be Alone With You" opens with the lyric "Night Time Is The Right Time", which is a reference to the eponymous 1937 blues song by Roosevelt Sykes. "Country Pie" name-drops the nursery rhyme character Little Jack Horner, who eats a Christmas pie in the original song. Gotlib once spoofed the album cover with his character Hamster Jovial. [1] Alternative Rock band Dishwalla recorded a song in 2002 called "Nashville Skyline" Zits Walt gets angry at a song Jeremy is listening to, resulting in this exchange, In Let It Be George Harrison can be seen performing "I Threw It All Away" during the album sessions, which actually predated the Nashville Skyline sessions (he learned it from Dylan when he spent some time hanging out with him and The Band in Woodstock in November of '68), but he never recorded it. The song has also been covered by iconic artists such as Cher, Elvis Costello and Yo La Tengo. Artists as diverse as Jeff Beck, Johnny Cash, Cher, Ben E. King, Ricky Nelson, The Black Crowes and My Morning Jacket have covered "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" over the years. "Lay Lady Lay" has been covered by The Byrds, Duran Duran, Ministry, Cher, Ben E. King, The Isley Brothers, Neil Diamond, The Everly Brothers, Booker T And The MGS, Isaac Hayes, Richie Havens, Buddy Guy and Bryan Adams to name the most iconic performers.
