OTD 1969 Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash began 2 days of recording duets in Nashville for Dylan's Nashville Skyline. I love this studio clip of them (not sure which day) of em doing One Too Many Mornings. You get to see Dylan in his Full Crooner voice & watch em cut each other up. youtu.be/LVdlF3Eih28?...
