dylan's nashville skyline


Bob Dylan's 9th studio album Nashville Skyline has turned 50 years old.

No one was anticipating a traditional country music album from Dylan.

"These are the types of songs that I always felt like writing when I've been alone to do so." 

The album was a different vocal style for Dylan. He created a new vocal persona to match his style of music. 
Nashville Skyline was recorded in 4 days

Here is the link to the Rolling Stone story about the album.
