The 9th proper “studio album” of Bob Dylan, Nashville Skyline was released in 1969 through Columbia Records. The album manifested a dramatic exit from Bob Dylan’s former image of innovative, rock ‘n’roll and poetic folk music.
The Nashville Skyline album showed a complete fascination into country music that was built with a “rustic style” that Dylan experimented on with his 8th studio album called John Wesley Harding, along with simple songwriting compositions and more basic “themes”. The album introduced to audiences a very new “singing voice” from Bob Dylan - “a soft, affected country croon”.
The outcome got several mixed reactions from critics during that time; however, Nashville Skyline, in spite of its brevity (the shortest album of Dylan), became a commercial success. It reached a number three spot in the United States, and also scoring Dylan’s 4th UK number one album.
It was February 1969, when Dylan went back to Nashville to start working on Nashville Skyline. His previous album, John Wesley Harding, had been released over a

The songs found in Nashville Skyline were especially relaxed with “modest ambitions”, as well as Dylan singing with smooth, soft, country-tinged “chant” that many listeners were startled by the new voice.
Dylan credited the new voice to his “break” from smoking, but several family members and friends were able to connect Dylan’s new voice and the voice he used when he sang at the “Ten O’Clock Scholar” (New York) and the “Purple Onion” coffee shop (Minneapolis) in the winter and

The Nashville Skyline album songs included “Girl of the North Country”, “Nashville Skyline Rag”, “To Be Alone With You”, “I Threw It All Away”, “Peggy Day”, “Lay, Lady, Lay”, “One More Night”, “Tell Me That it Isn’t true”, “Country Pie”, and “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You”.
When Nashville Skyline was released in 1969, despite the striking and commercial change in direction, the press gave the album warm reception, with the album even being referred to as “a deep, humane, and interesting statement about being happy”. The album became among Dylan’s best-selling albums.
