Mo-Fi's stereo Dylan reissues are models of transparency, detail, clarity and warm musicality. The early ones are from analog re-mixes of the 4 track masters that sound better than the originals in my opinion - Winner of a Gruvy Award, chosen by AnalogPlanet's editor, Michael Fremer, for vinyl records that are musically and sonically outstanding and are also well mastered and pressed. Analogplanet.
MoFi’s remastering is exquisitely packaged in a heavy gatefold; pressing is by RTI, and the surfaces are immaculate. Compared with the veiled, compressed Legacy CD reissue a few years ago, the vinyl is brighter and faster, and there’s more room for the spare arrangements to breathe. While the recording isn’t a standout in terms of dimension and depth, there’s now far more atmosphere and sense of place and time. Vocal quarrels aside, Dylan’s Nashville persona worked, and the album became one of the Nobel Laureate’s best-selling efforts. The Absolute Sound
For an artist whose career is flush with enigma, myth, and disguise, Nashville Skyline still surprises more than almost any other Bob Dylan move more four decades after its original release. Distinguished from every other Dylan album by virtue of the smooth vocal performances and simple ease, the 1969 record witnesses the icon's full-on foray into country and trailblazing of the country-rock movement that followed.
