Yep, all three Nashville-recorded albums - John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline, and New Morning - really freaked out his old fan base. Bad trips galore. Great albums, though. .....as well as his "basement" work with The Band.

John Wesley Harding is one of my must-have albums of all time. One of his most underrated is Another Side of Bob Dylan (1964), with "To Ramona," "Spanish Harlem Incident," and numerous other gems. The folky purists hated it because it wasn't "protest" music, and the rockers didn't get it because it was all acoustic and the lyrics were intelligent. As usual, he was several years ahead of those who would eventually copy him.
