If the only Dylan you've ever heard is Nashville Skyline and Pat Garret and Billy The Kid soundtrack, (maybe even John Wesley Harding), I could see thinking that Dylan is country, as those albums do all have an outright country flavor to them. Joni is pretty far from Country music though.

Fair. And I'd be remiss to try and categorize artists genre especially in the late 79s to early 80s when everyone was covering everyone else and lots of crossover into country.

But in terms of developing a taste for country there is no sense wasting time on country "flavor" when you can have a country T-bone. 🤘🏻

That Dylan country era is from the late 60's-early 70's, and Johnny Cash is actually on Nashville Skyline, as well as numerous legendary Nashville musicians. It's a legit great country album, but yeah, I agree it's not where I would start with Country music...but hell, if it's the road that gets you into town, one path is as good as another.
