Title: ...still lousy after all these years....
Product review: My god this is crap! I bought the LP in 1969 and hated it then...after eight great albums (not including "Greatest Hits"). Dylan's annoying vocal affect on "Nashville Skyline" is just the tip of a shallow effort. I believe his transcendant, song-writing magic was actually passed to Townes Van Zandt around this time. And for the reviewer who stated it was the first country-rock album, The Byrds w/Gram Parsons released "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" a year earlier (1968). Back to Dylan: this album marked the beginning of a steep decline. Only "Blood on the Tracks" and "Time Out of Mind" measure up to early work like "Freewheelin'" and "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Blonde on Blonde." (Before I get a verbal jabs for the Beethoven thing, I also listen to music ranging from the Stanley Brothers to Charles Mingus to Tim & Jeff Buckley to Howlin' Wolf to George & Tammy.)
