Johnny Cash


Sitting here with too much time and doing some much needed listening. I cued up the American IV The man comes around, Man ! What a powerful album! Great sonics and the music is just awesome. The Nine inch nails cover of hurt was just powerful. The man definitely had what it takes to stir a soul. What are we doing to have when all the greats are gone? LOL, I reckon new greats. Johnny you are missed RIP!

I finally scored vinyl copies of all six of J Cash's American Series. Numbers one and two were hard to come by. My most treasured set of all. Dying has never been documented so well.
I have the 1st, 2nd and 5th albums on both vinyl and cd. The vinyl sounds much better than the cd on the 1st and 2nd albums. Johnny is holographic in the extreme. The sound on the 5th album is also quite good, but the quality of the vinyl leaves something to be desired.

Best song in the set = Unchained. Also worthy of note is "Aloha Oe", the last song on the last album. What an inspired selection.

But hell ...every song in the series is good.
