 | At Folsom Prison [Read More ...]
Description: Johnny Cash had been breaking new ground for a decade when At Folsom Prison suddenly made the world at large take notice. The interaction of a volatile prison population starved for entertainment and a desperately on-form Johnny Cash was electrifying. His somber machismo finally ... |
 | At Folsom Prison Legacy Edition (2CD/1 DVD) [Read More ...]
Description: This two CD set deluxe edition of At Folsom Prison includes the DVD Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison, the first documentary film to consider Cash's finest day. Produced by award-winning director Bestor Cram and Cash biographer Michael Streissguth, the documentary follows the country ... |
 | The Essential Johnny Cash [Read More ...]
Description: It's a great and perhaps impossible challenge to encapsulate the highlights of Johnny Cash's vast musical catalog in a two-CD, 36-song collection like this. Yet, though it barely scratches the surface, 2002's The Essential Johnny Cash--part of a series of compilations and reissue... |
 | The Legend [Read More ...]
Description: There are several Cash boxes available, but The Legend--spanning the years 1955-2002 but concentrating on his long tenure at Columbia and, to a lesser degree, his beginnings at Sun--probably belongs at the top of the list. Cash's greatest strengths are dramatized on these four, t... |
 | 16 Biggest Hits [Read More ...]
Description: Too much of Cash's best work is left out to make this collection anything more than a cursory introduction to country's Man in Black. The double-CD compilation, fittingly dubbed The Man in Black, at least allows for some deeper exploration (although it lacks any liner notes whats... |
 | American IV: The Man Comes Around [Read More ...]
UK special edition reissue of The Man In Black's brilliant 2002 album includes two bonus tracks, 'Big Iron' (previously vinyl only) & 'Hurt' (video). American Recordings. 2003. |
 | The Legend of Johnny Cash [Read More ...]
Description: The Legend of Johnny Cash spans his entire career for the first time on a single disc. Featuring 21 of his recordings on the Sun, Columbia, Island, and American Recordings labels, it's the first compilation to include his work on American. Also highlighting the package is a 16-pa... |
 | Johnny Cash's America (CD/DVD) [Read More ...]
Description: People who agree on little else can agree on Johnny Cash. He carried a unique ability to reach all people at once. He was admired by prisoners and presidents, by preachers and punks. Cash was a man of God who spoke for the condemned. Johnny Cash's America looks at the unifying vi... |
 | The Children's Album [Read More ...]
Description: As foreboding a figure as Johnny Cash was, his son John Carter Cash writes in liner notes to this excellent CD, he was also a big kid: "a fun-loving, easygoing, laughing man." That's not to say he was more inclined to skateboard over the line than to walk it, only that given his ... |
 | American V: A Hundred Highways [Read More ...]
Description: The ethical questions surrounding this final album in the American Recordings series are as unavoidable as they are, ultimately, peripheral. While the vocal tracks were recorded in the months just prior to Johnny Cash's passing in September 2003, the arrangements weren't undertak... |
 | Cash: Ultimate Gospel [Read More ...]
Description: Gospel was what Johnny Cash, Luther Perkins, and Marshall Grant originally wanted to record when they auditioned for Sam Phillips in 1954. In 1958, Sun Records' refusal to let Cash record a gospel album--despite his track record of hits--led him to leave for Columbia. This well-c... |
 | At San Quentin [Read More ...]
Digipak reissue of 1969 album that's out-of-print in the US. 2001. |
 | American Recordings [Read More ...]
Description: UK only 180 gram vinyl pressing. In 1994 Cash stunned the music world with this commanding collection of 13 solo acoustic performances that roll from gospel to cowboy to sarcastic folk. Minimalism had long been Cash's meal ticket, but this time around, producer Rick Rubin strippe... |
 | American III: Solitary Man [Read More ...]
Review: Very, very suggestive performances:Not being an expert on country music or on Johnny Cash, I must say this album is moving and very very suggestive; with simple but clever arrangements, beautiful songs and amazing vocal...
Obviously more than merely touched by age and various ai... |
 | Unearthed (5CD) [Read More ...]
Description: Not just your average box set of re-packaged music, 'Unearthed' is a 5 CD box containing 79 tracks from the American Recordings era. 'Unearthed' contains 4 entire discs of never-before-heard recordings. 'Unearthed' also contains 'My Mothers Hymn Book' a complete never release... |
 | The Christmas Spirit [Read More ...]
Review: I Love This Album:I bought it on vinyl back in 1964 when I was 14. Played the heck out of it until it was virtually unplayable. Glad that I finally found it on cd, but I wish Sony would have taken some time to remaster/remix for optimum sound quality. It also would have been n... |
 | Bitter Tears (Ballads of the American Indian) [Read More ...]
Description: With his highly personal early 1960s work, Johnny Cash had been trying the patience of the Columbia brass, who were less than thrilled with his commercial performance. When "Ring of Fire" topped the country charts in 1963, it allowed him to continue the many ambitious concept alb... |
 | My Mother's Hymn Book [Read More ...]
Review: A Very Worthwhile Collection:I am not normally a huge fan of hymns. I love contemporary Christian music, but also enjoy the occasional hymn.
This particular collection is great. The selected songs are mostly classics in this genre. They are sung by an American cultural icon w... |
 | Unchained [Read More ...]
Johnny Cash's best work:This series is Johnny Cash's best work. A bit dark, maybe because he knew these were his last cd's. BUY THEM ALL. |
 | The Great Lost Performance [Read More ...]
Description: On July 27, 1990, Johnny Cash took his revue to The Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and performed a truly unique and wonderful concert, captured on multi-tracks that lay dormant until recently mixed and edited for this near hour-long CD. Terrific performances of his... |
