During the {^Nashville Skyline} sessions in February 1969, {$Dylan} teamed up with {$Johnny Cash} to record over a dozen songs. Only one of these made it onto {^Nashville Skyline} ({&"Girl from the North Country"}). Most of the rest are here, in perfect fidelity. If you were to judge this as a proper studio album, the notices wouldn't be too positive, due to the ragged and tentative performances. Judged as a loose, informal meeting of two giants, it's very pleasurable listening, though more for {$Cash's} contributions than {$Dylan's}. With full band backing (including {$Carl Perkins} on electric guitar), the pair run through easygoing, rockabilly-tinged versions of {$Dylan} songs, {$Cash} songs, old Sun rockabilly chestnuts ("That's All Right Mama" and "Matchbox"), and a bit of country gospel. {$Cash}, in fact, dominates the proceedings: he sings lead more often, and the mere two {$Dylan} tunes ("Girl from the North Country" and "One Too Many Mornings") are outweighed by a larger heaping of {$Cash} classics ("Big River," "I Walk the Line," "I Still Miss Someone," "Ring of Fire," "Guess Things Happen That Way"). The CD might even appeal more to {$Cash} fans than {$Dylan} ones, especially as {$Dylan's} singing is not up to scratch: his timing is off, he often sings on one note, and he even needs to be occasionally cued by {$Johnny} for the right words. The disc also includes three interesting {$Dylan} performances from a TV broadcast on {^The Johnny Cash Show} in May 1969, as well as five less essential quadrophonic mixes of {^Nashville Skyline} tracks. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
