One great Dylan album ("John Wesley Harding"), one good one ("Nashville Skyline"), and one of his most eccentric ("New Morning"), all packaged together at an unbeatable low price (well, I suppose a lower price would be even more unbeatable but, hey, they're not gonna sell it for $5).

The rating applies to the cumulative reaction of listening to the whole collection as if they were one big production or something, which, as you well know, isn't really the case now, is it? Individually, well, it's a whole 'nother story, fellas. JWH deserves five stars, NS merits four, and NM makes do with three and a half. But, hey, that's only my opinion. It's not as though I'm God or anything. Bless you, anyway.

4.0 out of 5 stars Start a New Morning in Nashville Skyline with John W Harding, September 12, 2000

All three are great albums, even harder to pass up when you can get them like this. New Morning is my favourite of the three for demonstrating how versatile Dylan can be. Like Nashville Skyline's country flavor, it has a bluesy aspect and he handles it wonderfully. John Wesely Harding should not be overlooked either, as many of the tracks provide complicated stories to take apart or listen to as Dylan puts them out for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The great unheralded Dylan classics, December 6, 2002

No, they are not as groundbreaking as his folk albums (Freewheelin, The Times..., Another Side...) were. They were not as emotional as "Blood on the Tracks", and they did not have the magnificent imagery of "Desire". And they are simply not as good as Highway 61/Blonde on Blonde/Bringin it Back Home. But these 3 albums ARE great albums, and they each have something special to offer the listener.

John Wesley Harding, right after Dylan's tremendous 60s electric trilogy, was immediately received far poorer than those 3 masterpieces. But today many Dylan fanatics place it right up there with them.

Nashville Skyline, Dylan's most "country" sounding album, was a shock to me at first. I hate country music, but I gave this album a couple listens and it has earned a place in my CD rotation. Very pleasant, very romantic.

New Morning was an experiment that is generally not viewed as very successful, but it is fun to listen to Bob try new things (If Dogs Ran Free/Winterlude are 2 of his most unusual tracks). Regardless, the album has great highs that cannot be denied (If Not For You/New Morning)
