Which 1965 Johnny Cash album includes three Bob Dylan songs?

Which 1965 Johnny Cash album includes three Bob Dylan songs? The answer is Orange Blossom Special.

Released on February 22, 1965, Orange Blossom Special contains Cash’s versions of three Dylan compositions: “It Ain’t Me Babe,” “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” and “Mama, You Been on My Mind.” The third song is especially notable because Dylan’s recording was initially a demo or outtake, while Cash’s version appeared on this album.

The album came from a particularly fruitful period in Cash’s Columbia Records career. Its title track, based on the famous Florida train, had already become a concert favorite and reached No. 3 on the country singles chart. Cash’s recording also features a prominent tenor-saxophone solo by Boots Randolph, unusual within Cash’s usual sound.

Readers sometimes remember “It Ain’t Me Babe” as a duet single with June Carter and overlook the other two Dylan songs. The album itself reached No. 3 on Billboard’s country albums chart and No. 49 on the Billboard 200, making it one of Cash’s strongest mid-1960s releases.
