Sony Music Entertainment Australia is proud to announce DYLAN, CASH, AND THE NASHVILLE CATS: A NEW MUSIC CITY, a 2CD companion to the historic exhibit currently on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame ® and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee.
DYLAN, CASH, AND THE NASHVILLE CATS: A NEW MUSIC CITY features a previously unreleased version of Bob Dylan’s ‘If Not For You’ and 35 other essential tracks and will be available Friday June 19th 2015.
The Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum exhibition, ‘Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City Presented by Citi’, opened on March 27, 2015 and will run through December 31, 2016. The museum will celebrate the album’s launch with a concert to be held in the US on July 7, 2015. The line-up for the concert will be announced soon.
From now, fans can follow a special Spotify playlist with ten cuts from the forthcoming album. A new song will be added to the playlist each week leading up to the album’s release on June 19th. The featured songs will be accompanied by special commentary from Charlie Daniels, one of the Nashville Cats.
“Bob Dylan surprised many when he came to Nashville and began working with the city’s unmatched session musicians the Nashville Cats“, said Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum historian Michael Gray. “Around this same time, Johnny Cash was recruiting folk and rock musicians – including Dylan – to appear on his groundbreaking network television show. This album and Spotify playlist, with commentary from Nashville Cat Charlie Daniels, explore this magical time in A New Music City.”
DYLAN, CASH, AND THE NASHVILLE CATS: A NEW MUSIC CITY explores the relationship between pop, rock, folk and country music through a variety of essential recordings that define an American era and sensibility that continue to shape and influence contemporary culture across the world.

Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, The Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Linda Ronstadt and The Monkees were among the many pop, rock and folk artists who came to Nashville in the late 1960s and early 1970s to record with Music City’s exquisitely versatile session musicians, known to insiders as the ‘Nashville Cats’.
DYLAN, CASH, AND THE NASHVILLE CATS: A NEW MUSIC CITY pays homage to these often unheralded session players through 36 pivotal tracks recorded in Nashville in the 1960s and 1970s by many of the biggest names and most popular artists in contemporary music. It embodies the universal spirit of music that defies boundaries and categories, finding and celebrating the common bond between rock, pop and country music in records that will live forever.
DYLAN, CASH, AND THE NASHVILLE CATS: A NEW MUSIC CITY provides fresh opportunities to enjoy the lasting musical contributions of the Nashville Cats – among them David Briggs, Kenny Buttrey, Fred Carter Jr., Charlie Daniels, Pete Drake, Mac Gayden, Lloyd Green, Ben Keith, Grady Martin, Charlie McCoy, Wayne Moss, Weldon Myrick, Norbert Putnam, Jerry Reed, Pig Robbins and Buddy Spicher – and the abiding masterpieces they helped create.
In the wake of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, Nashville became a new kind of music capitol, drawing an incredible influx of musicians, writers, and artists. The liberating musical climate and the burgeoning countercultural movement provided a supercharged atmosphere for creativity.
Since opening in March, the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum’s ‘Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City Presented by Citi’ exhibit has been generating high praise for its critical acumen and historic significance.
