Nashville Skyline

My parents turned me on to this album when I was 10 years old. And so began my life long love of anything Bob Dylan. This album is incredible. I’ve listened to it hundreds of times and never tire of it. It’s a testament to Dylan’s versatility and his unwillingness to be stuffed into any specific artistic box. Even as a small child I easily recognized his genius

Where to begin. Less prolific lyric-wise than his other notable '60's efforts, but that is beauty of this surprisingly concise and polished (not including the Cash duet) gem! Take, "Tonight I'll be Staying Here with You:" Dylan's word-smithing seems innocuous but it is just as well thought out as most tracks on Blonde on Blonde. "Throw my troubles out the door. I can't use them anymore." "Your love comes on so strong, and I've been waiting all day long" "Is it really any wonder: the love that a stranger might receive. You cast your spell and I went under. I find it so difficult to leave!" just to name a few. And what a simple and wonderful bridge (something we don't always get to enjoy on Dylan classic songs). And then there's the other songs: the title track, "Country Pie," "Tell me that it isn't True." So much to relish!

What more can I say than this album is awesome. Come on starting off the album with johnny cash, come on that's amazing!! The whole feel of the album is great. One of my favorite Dylan albums

I found this on vinyl and its amazing

Snarkiness aside, this album is a great introduction to both Bob Dylan and to bluegrass country for city folk raised on disco. The most famous song of this album is "Lay Lady Lay", but I love the haunting "Girl from the North Country" and sprightly "Peggy Day" and "Country Pie." I've moved on to the other parts of the Dylan cannon, but I always appreciate the tired working man soul behind "Lay Lady Lay".

Hanging out in Carpinteria Beach town headed to Rincon when across the air waves comes Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash singing a song together that was perfect. This is one all time great albums for one of the all time great years!!

He's such a fantastic writer !

I turned 15 the day this was released. My ninth grade choir teacher commented that there "is at least melody" in these songs, which in light of his purist vocal talent revealed his hurdle to enjoying earlier Dylan songs/poetry. But did he ever hear Jimi's version of Dylan's All Along the a Watchtower from 1967? I picked this album up again for the forth time--vinyl, cassette, CD and now digital. It's still wonderful. My taste in music ranges from Bach to Pitbull, and it's my absolute pleasure to hear this Dylan LP again. Get it for your library.

I met a girl from the north country at a loft party on Greene Street on a warm Spring evening in 1974 Thus began a period of great beauty in my life.Her long dark curly hair, her smile and her natural beauty remain with me as fresh now as they were then. This song perfectly captures the ache of being young and in love. .God bless Bob Dylan.

I have a friend that doesn't (yikes!) appreciate Bob Dylan because she claims he cannot sing (which I wholeheartedly disagree with). I gave her this album and she has been converted! :) I love this album! It's not my favorite because its not as heavy as his other albums in context. But I could listen to "lay lady lay" all day long.

this may be the low point . . . . coulda been a joke . . . . .

He's as great as the BEATLES but, But he's only one person. I just love Maggie's farm. Maybe it's because I love farming...'

This is my favorite Dylan album. That says a lot. The Cash Duet is like my favorite Uncles playing together in their own unique harmony, a real treat. It's all good. Food for your Soul. American Music at it's best.

Back when this came out, my dad liked the song Lay, Lady Lay. He couldn't find the single, so he bought the album. I don't htink he ever cared much for any of Bob's other music so it didn't get played much. Eventually when he was getting rid of some old albums he never listened to, I snagged this one and put it in my collection even though I had never really listened to it. Fast forward many years later, I'm looking through my albums for something 'different' to listen to and put this on. "Not bad" I thought and listened to it several more times over the next few weeks. Then along came this new thing called a "CD". Eventually I got it this "CD" format. Any time I took a road trip, I would grab about a dozen CDs to take with me (this was back in the olden days before these gadgets called iPOds). Nashville Skyline was ALWAYS in the mix, a great album to listen to on the road. I'm not a huge Dylan fan, but this album makes it on my top 10 list.

This is actually one of my favorite Dylan albums the change of voice somehow works really well for these songs for instance I threw it all away and tell me that it isn't true now for those who like bob's raspy tone this may not be great but I love it

This is a good album. The songs on here are strong. This is obviously a different phase of dylan because he sounds completley different as most of his albums he sounds different, but this one especially. If your favorite albums by dylan are highway 61, and blonde on blonde you might be dissapointed with this one, i would say this one is not as good as those 2 or blood on the tracks, but its still worth owning and listeing to. If ur a fan of dylan u will like this album

The Dylan country album. His last album of the 1960's would also be his last 5 star album until 1975's Blood on the Tracks. On this record, we see yet another side of Bob Dylan. Great songs like "Girl from the North Country" with Johnny Cash, "Lay Lady Lay",and "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" make this album a classic. It may not be as good as some of his other '60's album like The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, Bringing it All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, and John Wesley Harding, but it is still better than most music.

I listened to Nashville Skyline all the time when I was in college, and now I am listening to it on iTunes and I love it more than ever!
