Free Music Notes for Nashville Skyline
Free Music Review: Plenty of Good Songs on This Record, Despite the Country Flavor
Hit: 4 Stars
I suppose after the success of John Wesley Harding Bob Dylan thought going back to Nashville and recording another album was a good idea. I'm wondering if all these years later, if he still feels that way. I know the album was a commercial success, that "Lay Lady Lay" was a top ten hit as a forty-five, but, for me at least, there is something missing here. This is a happy record, recorded by a happy man. At least that's they way it seems to me and that's not the way I like to think of Dylan best. I see him as, if not a leader of his generation, a poet at least. I love the dark lyrics of his earlier work. Love the work that comes after "Nashville Skyline," well not all of it, but most of it.
The recording of "Girl from the North Country" with Johnny Cash is interesting, but out of place with the rest of the record. I have the Dylan Cash bootleg and have put that song with the rest of the record on my iPod and there it works well, but not here I don't think. I do love "Tell Me that it isn't True," where Dylan is questioning the fidelity of his woman (well the woman in the song anyway). I also particularly like "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" and "I Threw it All Away." "Lay Lady Lay," the big hit from the record has never been a favorite of mine, but many Dylan fans like it. Actually, "One More Night," is a great song too, so even though this is a short record, there are several good songs on it.
Also, Dylan has a new country type crooning voice here, way more so than JWH. I've heard it said that Dylan claims this was because he'd been cutting back on cigarettes at the time. Still, this sounds like an awful lot like a plain old country and western record to me. That's not necessarily bad, but it's way different for Dylan. But then he is famous for not ever being the same. Record after record, he changes. That's part of what makes him the genius he is.
