3/25/2021: "I'm Goin' Down to Tennessee": Cities Where Bob Dylan Recorded pt 7 (Nashville)

Hard Rain & Slow Trains: Bob Dylan & Fellow Travelers

We continue our twelve-part series featuring the cities where Dylan recorded his studio albums over the decades. Part seven features Nashville, Tennessee -- Music City, USA. Here Bob Dylan recorded BLONDE ON BLONDE (1966), JOHN WESLEY HARDING (1967), NASHVILLE SKYLINE (1969), and part of SELF PORTRAIT (1970). You'll hear about the famous Nashville sidemen, dubbed the Nashville Cats, and -- for once -- they will take the spotlight. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we round up news from the world of Bob Dylan and in "Who Did It Better?" we ask you who did "Temporary Like Achilles" better: Bob Dylan, as recorded in Nashville for BLONDE ON BLONDE, or Nashville string band, Old Crow Medicine Show, as recorded on the stage of Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame, fifty years to the month after BLONDE ON BLONDE.
