CMHoF To Honor Musicians with 'Dylan, Cash and the Nashville Cats' Exhibit

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will pay tribute to the Nashville of the 1960s and 1970s, when artists such as Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Joan Baez, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Neil Young and others came to record with Nashville’s top notch cast of musicians, known as the Nashville Cats.
A core group of Nashville musicians, including David Briggs, Kenny Buttrey, Fred Carter Jr., Charlie Daniels, Pete Drake, Mac Gayden, Lloyd Green, Ben Keith, Grady Martin, Charlie McCoy, Wayne Moss, Weldon Myrick, Norbert Putnam, Jerry Reed, Pig Robbins, and Buddy Spicher, played on influential records including The Byrds’ “Hickory Wind,” Dylan’s “Lay Lady Lay,” Baez’s “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” and other classics.
The CMHoF’s new major exhibition, Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City, will open Friday, March 27, 2015 for a nearly two-year run, ending Dec. 31, 2016. The exhibition will be accompanied by educational programs, live performances, panel discussions and more.
