The appearence of this song on
Nashville Skyline is notable, as it is a duet between
Mr. Dylan and the
Man in Black himself,
Johnny Cash.
Dylan and
Cash split the verses pretty evenly, and sing together on the "chorus", which is the repition of the first verse. Their voices blend well together despite their "rough" sound, with
Dylan handling the higher registers and
Cash using his distinctive voice to lend a hand on the lower.
In addition the song is given a slower, more plaintive feel and the addition of a lead guitar adds complexity to the sad tale of distant love.
