| Bob Dylan recorded several albums in Nashville in the 1960's In 1966 in Nashville, Bob Dylan cut his best selling album and what for many was the quintessential album of the 60's, "Blonde On Blonde". Nashville wouldn't be quite the same again after that album. People reasoned that if it was good enough for Bob Dylan, it was good enough for them. Suddenly the city became one of the hippest places in the world to record in. Dylan also recorded the classic LP "Nashville Skyline" in Nashville (shown at left). Session musicians included Pete Drake, Charlie Daniels, members of Barefoot Jerry and others |
