Review:
These recordings are from the famous sessions with Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins that produced the Girl Of The North Country version that was released on Nashville Skyline. All takes are great sound quality, but the material is loose, and nothing would pass the scrutiny of an official release. The most interesting thing is hearing Dylan sing harmony with Johnny. Rarely does one ever get an opportunity to hear Dylan as a backup singer. The first track was released on a Johnny Cash video entitled Johnny Cash, The Man And His Music. No other tracks were released from this session. The final three tracks are from the Johnny Cash Show. Recorded at The Ryman on May 1, 1969, the show was aired on ABC TV on June 7, 1969. The double exposure cover is very nice. The aesthetics are simple and tasteful. A couple of mistaken letters in the black ink that produced the letter shadow on the back cover leaves a small blurb or two, but how picky should one get?

According to the research Tracks 1 and 8 are offically released and therefore not here.
This is a must for all Dylan or Cash Fans
