I was born in Nashville & let me tell you something..It's was a great place to grow up..My dad owned two Texaco gas stations & my elementary school ( Glenncliff) was between our home & the gas station..Turn left & go home, turn right & go to gas station..Of course I wanted to be around the cars & pumping gas ( I was eight) & it's amazing to look back & remember the musicians & stars that traded there ( " Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas " LOL)..For instance Eddie Arnold was a regular, Ray Stevens, Dolly Pardon to Billy Cox ( Jimi Hendrix bass player, Ban of Gypsys) to Col Sanders & his sister ( she drove the " Col") Brenda Lee was from Woodbine ( Flat Rock) & was very cool ( another story, another time) as was my dad & mom & myself..Willy Nelson rented a house on Sunrise Ave ( 2nd house on left) off Nolensville Rd across the street..He would walk over & nuy cigarettes.( I don't remember that but my dad & older brother would talk & laugh about it) Willy was broke as I understand it & supposedly wrote Hello Walls in that house..We rented the house as Willy was moving out.My dad & brother liked Willy very much ( my dad was a bit of a hell raiser also) I remember Broadway when the bar The Demons Den & Tooties were where you never knew who you'd see..( I could go in any bar with my dad at eight & have a roll of nickels for the juke box) life was wonderful being on the road at eight LOL..Nashville was a great place to grow up looking back & I suppose I came from the most dysfunctional family in Nashville but it was fun..I wrote a book once called " Chicken Coups to Coupe Devilles " but it was stolen along with an old Fender cabinet in front of The Turf or Music city lounge & ive never found the time to rewrite it but i should because ive barely scratched the surface here...LOL & Enjoy the ride of life..🍑

Blonde on Blonde, John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline (my favorite Dylan album) are all masterpieces

Bob Johnston was a hoot. May he RIP and all the other great Nashville musicians mentioned here in this clip plus all others. I need to visit that Hall of Fame.

I can’t thank you enough for putting this together. You are one of the great ones recording and preserving this history. This is way more important than some other Hall of Fame IMO. Take care Joe

Blonde on blonde ...voted best album in rock history. My personal fav.

Amazing Joe, I knew how much Dylan helped Charlie Daniels and Al Kooper, but I didn't realize how much he helped ALL of Nashville. You know you're the real deal when all these accomplished artist admire you.

Joe.. what a blessing to get interviews with a few of these guys before they died...awesome !!!!!!

What a great idea of mixing the interviewers and keeping is alive and fresh with everyone's perspective. It is so hard to believe those four great albums were recorded in such short time frames, a week and a half for Blonde on Blonde, wow. If ever near Nashville, I will visit!

The Musicians' Hall of Fame is so much more interesting than the Rock n Roll Hall.

Thanks! This level of documentary and interview is what the world wishes it had with Shakespeare. Imagine interviews with Richard Burbage, John Hemings, and Henry Condell. "He carried a packet of quills and a bottle of ink everywhere!" "Oh he was hilarious!" These interviews will be viewed by posterity forever! Thanks again so much!

What a beautiful video with such wonderful amazing people! Thank you!!! Long live the music for the hungry generations!!! Find it and live it!! All you need is all in the music!!!!

I just love all the "behind the scenes" stories. It really shows they're down to earth, humble, just regular ppl making music.

WOW......just totally blew me away. Thank you from the bottom of my soul. The talent, the music, the real people who made it that way. ❤️☮️❤️ JUST WOW!💥💥💥

I just watched this again Joe. What a wonderful tribute at the end for those who have left us. Thanks for all you do too honor these musicians.

These interviews are so amazing to hear. Thank you so much Joe

Blonde on Blonde, my favorite Dylan Album of all time

I hope George Harrison was right. I hope Bob Dylan's music is around 500 years from now...and that there are still people around to hear it.

Joe. To capture these guys before they were gone is just great. This is a wonderful vidio. 👍🏻😎

A fabulous mini rockumentary! Sadly, a lot of those guys are no longer with us, but they have definitely left their creative footprint 👣 upon the musical landscape. 🎵🎶🎧

Bob Dylan still knocks me out. An amazing man! Thanks for the great songs Bob!!!!!!!

I love this ... this is a hoot! And if I recall correctly, Wayne Moss played that Jazzmaster guitar riff on Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman." There were some fabulous musicians on these albums!

Wow, rare interview with Joe South 1 yr before he died... Fantastic, I love what they are doing at The Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville !!! They have a GREAT Joe South exhibit too.

Joe this is the greatest channel I was binging on Jeff Beck videos with Otis’s channel and you tube brought me here for another binge. Such a great history lesson from country music session men producers and stars. Greats that acknowledge Dylan’s , unique and one-of-a-kind brilliance. Jeff beck and Bob Dylan , talk about going your own way musically with extreme diversity. All the interviews are breathtaking and the cutting where folks are completing sentences from others is hilarious. My number one take away Kris Kristofferson cbs studio janitor !!!

What a great series. This is the real history of rock n' roll in America. Musicians Hall ic Fame indeed.

Amazing interviews. These are some of my favorite albums. Masterpieces of American music.

The Musicians' Hall of Fame features the greatest friend to music of all time....Joe Chambers. Thanks Joe.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to these guys. That is such an education in how to make records.

Good one Joe, lots of information. Amazing how much respect the musicians had for each other.

I don't know how I missed this before. This was a great interview! Peace!

Joe, these interviews of yours are just wonderful. Please take great care of yourself. I’m being selfish...I don’t want these to ever stop. Robert

Another masterpiece Joe. These are the movers and shakers. Thanks for put this together. Amazing to hear these guys. Thanks again Joe.

These guys will live forever. Dylan is immortal. He caught a wave int he early 60's and rode it perfectly. His body of work and songs will outlast everything and everyone. They'll be singing his songs on a different planet some day.

Joe, this is wonderful. I love the stories and these great session players discuss the quirkiness of Bob Dylan.

Fascinating stuff! I didn't know Charlie Daniels worked with Leonard Cohen. He also did a great job producing one of the 60's overlooked masterpieces, Elephant Mountain by the Youngbloods.

I absolutely LOVED this! Thank you.

this is one of my favorite group of stories I've heard on KZfaq. Classic!

Another video that everyone should thank you for, Joe. Amazing to watch and an important historical document in the history American popular and roots music.

Simply put...I love this.Thanks.

Bob Dylan has always been special. His music will be loved forever!

As if Pete Drake had to name the song! Those four chords are unmistakable! ❤️

500 years from now, you’ll hear BD! That says it all!

man this is so good i wish it was 12 hours long.

I was playing a set of originals in a Club near Nashville and Kenny Buttrey was sitting near the stage. he found some sticks and played the table the chair with them. He was amazing . After my set we went to my car and "burned one" This was my favorite Nashville music moment. I was lucky enough to hang with him a few times. He loved my song "Hillbilly Hell"

Of all the music, instruments and other wonderful sounds these old ears of mine have heard the most beautiful is the steel guitar on lay lady lay.

I'm a lifelong Dylan fan - excellent episode 🔥

This belongs in a time capsule!!!

One of the best videos yet. “I need to write some lyrics...”. “Here we go again...”. “Tell Moss to clock out. We don’t need him today...”. Wow well it’s still a cool story being fired by Bob Dylan...lol

The stories from the people behind the scenes will tell you more than any biography, documentary, or sometimes even the artist themselves. In the case of Bob Dylan, *so much more* 🤣

What a great video and stories that deserve to be heard.

Bob Johnston is always fun to listen to. I thought I heard there was going to be a Documentary about him.

Second time, watching. Very heartwarming. Again.

These guys were so good.I'll just mention 2 of my favorites by them on 2 Dylan songs,one really famous,the other not so much,but ti's one I love.It's Kenneth Buttrey's drums on the original Knocking on Heaven's Door,still the best version,and Charlie McCoy's organ on Tell Me That It isn't True.It's perfect,would make Bach impressed.So tasteful.

I have loved and admired Joe South's music for decades but this is the first time I've ever seem him interviewed. Thank you for the experience.

500,000 years from now who knows what will exist. But i bet Bobs music will. Incredible clip. Ty

One of the best thing I'vee ever seen on KZfaq

These Interviews Are Gold .

wonderful to hear these guys tell these great stories of a magical time in musical history.

It was 1969, I was twenty years old and living in San Francisco having landed a PR job with the play Hair. This run was produced by Ken Kragen and Tommy Smothers. I also auditioned with two songs. Besides Everybody's Talkin' the other song was Lay Lady Lay and I bought the sheet music for both songs (which I still have) to take to the audition's accompanist. The auditions were held at The Geary Theater and I did not pass. However, as employees we were allowed to perform in the chorus once a week. So I got to sing in Hair for a few months and the best part was no nudity. This was also the first time I met Bob Dylan. I was delivering posters to a head shop and there he was. I said, "Dude, you're Bob Dylan!" He said, "(say it out loud in your own best impersonation) No, I'm not." Yeah, right Bob! LOL (True Story!)

these nashville sessions are masterpieces

What a wonderful collage of reminisces. Thanks again Joe.

That was fantastic!! Wow! Such history. Great stories.

Priceless history, Joe--excellent presentation, as always Thank you for the work you do!

Wow Joe, I had never seen this. Great editing job, so thanks to your whole family. Respect Chico

Insightful memories from many participants. Dylan's inspiration shows in surprising ways.

This was fun!! I recorded in Nashville with Larry Butler and Billy Sherril.. I'd only been playing drums a few years and I played traps, Kenny Buttrey played congas for me...yikes. no pressure. Larry Butler allowed our band to cut the tracks. All live...no ODs. Buck ownens had been there earlier and Larry didn't use his band, I felt so lucky. Kenny Buttrey Bob moore...such great times..80s. Thank you for this, it was great!

Thank you so much for this. These mystical names, read off album sleeves so long ago, brought to life.

This has become one of my favorite channels. Wonderful stuff. Got to make it to Nashville.

Great video, with some great men and some great stories! Thank you from an old Dylan fan!

I’ve watched several videos on this channel, and this one is the best yet! Amazing oral history from the people who were there.

Excellent interviews, thank you. The musicians hall of fame is on my bucket list now!

What a great video! Hearing from all those involved and Dylan's influence on the scene is priceless! Thank you for another great video!

Nashville Skyline was always my favorite Dylan album.

These videos are so cool. Thank you. I’m looking at 70 soon 😳 So it’s my youth remembered This period of Dylan’s was great but a transitional one to me. 1970 to 1974 I haven’t listened to these Lp’s much Bobs had many of those “transitions” in his long career My favorite one is the 1975 Blood on the tracks period

I love this. I saw Bob Dylan live in 1990. One of my late uncles thought Peter Paul & Mary wrote Blowin' In The Wind, when I played it one Christmas. Bob Dylan wrote it. Cheers!

Fantastic stories. Great pictures too. What a wonderful group of players and a magical time. I've been waiting for this since I read Al Kooper's book 20 years ago. Thanks, Joe!

Good job bringing these interviews altogether.

Another terrific clip joe...great editing as well!

Joe, I love your channel, and the interviews you do here. Many thanks for posting this treasure trove of videos. Long may you (and the channel!) run.

Joe, These are just the best insider videos I've ever seen. Thanks Man!

As so many others have commented on this post, want to thank you for the fantastic work you have done - gathering many different interviews and joining them together which gives us a fantastic cohesive perspective of how Bob Dylan worked and interacted with the many different musicians and producers he encountered. Bravo! 👏 👏 👏 🎶🎵 🎸

Thanks for another great video, lots of real history about my favourite Dylan album, Blonde on Blonde.

Thanks Joe. I learn something new on every interview you have done. I find them all fascinating.

Excellent, as always. So sad that so many have passed ;)

That epilogue was a really nice touch.

Thanks for making this gem

Truly wonderful stuff. I love to hear all these stories from the guys who were there and made such fabulous musical history.

Them dudes sound like pure artists.

Love what you do...this was great! Please keep posting

This is a great work!!! Thank you!!! BD is a cut above the other cuts above....

Fabulous video - thanks!

Fabulous document!

WOW ! Every show Joe has knocks it out of the park. Blonde on Blonde. I've got two original U.K. first pressings unplayed . Been sitting on them for fifty five years or so. What great stories those guys have. It would have been wonderful if Al Kooper was in this vid . With that said I just watched a different interview Joe had with Al ... Great stuff as always ...

Another top- notch interview, Joe!

Once upon a Time you dressed so fine in your funky prime didn't you.......... Love Bob Dylan forever

Wonderful stories! Thank you!!!

Joe this archive material is amazing!! I absolutely love it! and the MHOF is a place everyone should visit..I mean that.. i have been many times and never tire of it

Bob Johnston sounds like a fun guy to have worked with

Fantastic video. Great work. 👌🏻

My mother went to high school with Dylan. Her and her sisters sang in the same talent show. A few teachers never thought he would make it big. Might have been wrong on that one lol.

Don’t forget the great Norman Blake who played acoustic on Nashville Skyline album…
