On John Wesley Harding Dylan worked more methodically than before the seven alternate takes from the album featured here find Dylan fitting his songs rhythms to match their lyrics.Returning in to Nashville in 1969 Dylan shifted even more toward the sound of country music on Nashville Skyline even adopting a distinctive croon in his singing voice. Lay Lady Lay Tonight Ill Be Staying Here With You and I Threw It All Away still rank among the most treasured entries in Dylans songwriting canon.A key participant in the Nashville Skyline sessions was Johnny Cash whod previously covered Dylans Dont Think Twice Its All Right leading to a deep mutual respect between the two musical legends. Though Cash appeared on only one song on Nashville Skyline Girl From The North Country (and also penned the LPs Grammy Award-winning liner notes) Travelin Thru features 25 previously unreleased tracks featuring Dylan and Cash in the studio. Highlights include takes on several of Cashs most recognizable hits (I Walk The Line Ring Of Fire) covers of Jimmie Rodgers and Carl Perkins (Matchbox featuring Perkins himself on guitar) and a unique medley of Dont Think Twice Its All Right and Cashs Understand Your Man. A month after Nashville Skyline was released Dylan made his first live TV appearance in five years on The Johnny Cash Show that performance is also included here as are two Cash covers (Ring Of Fire Folsom Prison Blues) recorded during the sessions to Self Portrait.Travelin Thru closes with a 1970 collaboration between Dylan and famed banjo player Earl Scruggs. Recorded in upstate New York for a PBS special on Scruggs this informal session features renditions of Dylans Nashville Skyline Rag and others.Travelin Thru Featuring Johnny Cash: The Bootleg Series Vol. 15
