Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats - a new music city

"A companion to the 2015-2016 Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit of the same name, Dylan, Cash and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City is a double-disc history of the moment when country met rock -- or when rock met country, as the case might be ... Throughout it all, that conscious cultural collision of city and country still feels kinetic: these musicians opened up fresh, unpaved roads begging to be explored and still offer plenty of tantalizing sights and detours".

"Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats makes a fine primer on country rock, although fans steeped in the genre may find some of it redundant. While the compilers might have hunted for lesser-known or unreleased tracks (the only exclusive is an alternate take on Dylan's "If Not For You"), the bigger shortcoming is the lack of info on the individual session musicians in the liner notes. There's very little about Buttrey, Spicher, Putnam, and their fellow Cats in the packaging, not even a listing of who plays on which songs. It doesn't detract from the music, but such an oversight is odd considering how thoroughly the exhibit itself documents them individually".
