Liner Notes
When Dylan walked into Columbia Studio A in Nashville in February 1966, he didn't just make a record; he rewired the relationship between rock and country at a moment when those worlds were supposed to be strangers. This companion set to the Country Music Hall of Fame's landmark exhibition pulls back the curtain on that cultural collision, tracing the web of musicians and mutual respect that made Nashville a creative home for a generation of artists who had no business being there, and couldn't stay away.
Bob Dylan bucked executives at his record label and surprised his fans when he came to Nashville in 1966 to record his classic album Blonde on Blonde. Working with the city's unmatched session musicians, Dylan produced a rock & roll masterpiece and went on to record two more albums there. Dylan's embrace of Nashville and its musicians the Nashville Cats inspired many other artists, among them Neil Young, Joan Baez, and Leonard Cohen, to follow him to Music City. Around the same time, Johnny Cash was recruiting folk and rock musicians including Dylan to appear on his groundbreaking network television show, The Johnny Cash Show, shot at the Ryman Auditorium, home of the Grand Ole Opry.
