I'm not sure, that's a question for Jakob Dylan. I like the recordings as well. It sounds like Dylan had a bad experience recording with Rubin, perhaps that's colored his perception of the cash recordings.

But I will stand by my statement that he does seem a bit like a snake-oil salesman, there seems to be a gimmicky quality. But then, I've never met the man and I'm relying solely on second and third hand accounts of him. There's no doubt that he's been a part of some of my all time favorite recordings.
