And the Cash and other country covers on The Complete Basement Tapes, "Wallflower" duet w Sir D. on The Best of Doug Sahm's Atlantic Sessions, "A Fool Such As I" and maybe "Spanish Is The Loving Tongue" on Dylan. Maybe some others from that as well, yeah I said it.

I do think this one and John Wesley Harding is Dylan's best singing. I've seen it postulated that because he quit smoking after the motorcycle wreck was why his voice was different on those two albums. Not sure if that is the case, but his voice is much clearer on these two albums.

Yeah, he credited that in an interview back then. A couple more country chestnuts: "My Blue Eyed Jane," on A Tribute to Jimmie Rodgers, really a good various artists trib, and maybe the only release on his Egyptian label, also, "The Love That Faded," on The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams: his music to Hank's words, as he could have done for the whole album, but he said it was too great a responsibility---another good v.a. set, nevertheless.
