"Dylan wasn’t trying to outsmart anyone this time. He wasn’t hiding behind poetry. These songs didn’t want to change the world. They just wanted to sound good in a kitchen with the windows open. And somehow, that kind of quiet confidence hit harder than anything else."

A favorite quote, this from Riley Johnson, May 25, 2025, in an article he wrote for Country Thang Daily about when Bob Dylan went country with his Nashville Skyline album.
