When Bob Dylan arrived on the folk scene in 1962, Johnny Cash was immediately a fan, which was reciprocated by Dylan, who had admired Cash in the 50's. Cash even wrote a fan letter to the young Dylan, which started a correspondence between them. Moving on to 1969 and Dylan was in Nashville recording his 'Nashville Skyline' album, while Cash was in the studio next door, and he decided to drop in. The two of them decided to record some songs together, and laid down over a dozen duets - some of Dylan's songs, some of Cash's, and some old favourites of them both. 'Girl From The North Country' made it onto the 'Nashville Skyline' album, but the rest have remained officially unreleased, although they've circulated on bootlegs for years.
