Which Bob Dylan album features a duet with Johnny Cash?

The story behind the answer

Nashville Skyline is the Bob Dylan album that features a duet with Johnny Cash.

Released in 1969, the album includes “Girl from the North Country,” a new duet version of a song Dylan had originally recorded in 1963. Cash sings and plays guitar on the track, while the Nashville studio musicians provide the country backing that defines the album.

The collaboration grew from Dylan’s recording sessions in Nashville, where Cash was also working at Columbia Records. Dylan and Cash reportedly recorded several songs together, but “Girl from the North Country” was the principal duet released on Nashville Skyline. The album marked Dylan’s especially direct turn toward country music and introduced listeners to his softer, country-influenced singing voice.

A common mix-up is confusing this duet with Cash’s later collaborations with June Carter Cash or his work in the supergroup the Highwaymen. Nashville Skyline is specifically the Dylan album associated with Cash’s guest performance.
