Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline

At least you can understand what he is saying. The opening duet with Johnny Cash "Girl From The North Country" is nice enough and appropriately spontaneous. From someone with Dylan's lyrical genius, and instrumental "Nashville Skyline Rag" is unnecessary. "I Threw It All Away" while simplistic (love is all there is it makes the world go round) does at least have a story. Side 2 begins with classic "Lay Lady Lay", and returns to a more familiar sound with "Tell Me That It Isn't True", and ends generically with "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You".
