The next installment of Dylan’s Bootleg Series will likely feature the famous Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash Nashville sessions. 

The Nashville sessions were the first and only time the longtime friends ever played together in public. While they spent a whole day recording at Columbia Studio A, only “Girl From The North Country” made the cut for Nashville Skyline. But now, fans might get to hear more of what went down during those sessions. 

“We’re thinking about possibly doing Bob’s work in Nashville from John Wesley Harding through the Johnny Cash sessions as the next Bootleg Series,” a source told Rolling Stone. “The outtakes from that period have never been heard.”

The two recorded versions of “Mystery Train,” as well as “You Are My Sunshine,” “Ring of Fire,” “Big River,” and several other songs, are among those we might get to finally hear all these years later.
