Johnny Cash - American Recordings 1: American Recordings (2000)
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 stripped it all away, recording the bulk of the
record in Cash's cabin or his own living room. Cash offers five
typically direct and vivid originals, but he also seizes control of
songs by Kris Kristofferson, Nick Lowe, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and
Loudon Wainwright. Forty years after "Hey Porter," Cash delivers a pure,
naked, and incredibly moving record that, dare we say, rivals the
impact of his greatest achievements.

Johnny Cash - The Best Of
(1998)
Cash is a genuine titan of popular music, whose finest work should be as
venerated as anything by Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, David
Bowie or Brian Wilson, and this collection does as good a job of
beginning to explain why as any. The virtue of Cash's music is its
simplicity. His brutally reductive take on country, set to his
distinctive boom-chicka-boom backbeat, directs all of the listener's
attention to his supernaturally world-weary voice (even as a teenager,
Cash sounded about a thousand years old). This collection is a judicious
mix of covers (Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", Bob
Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe" among them) and original Cash standards.

Johnny Cash -
At Madison Square Garden (2002)
"It was magic night! The air was electric and felt good. The audiance
responded beautifully."
Johnny Cash, July 2002
AMG review by Richie Unterberger:
“
Not released until 2002, all 26 of these songs --
adding up to a generous 77 minutes -- were recorded at Cash's successful
show at Madison Square Garden in New York on December 5, 1969. Two
best-selling live late-'60s Cash albums, At Folsom Prison and At San
Quentin, have long been available, and it will be pretty difficult for
this to dislodge those in prominence among those scouting for live
material in the Cash catalog. Still, it's a good document of Cash as he
reached the apex of his mainstream popularity. Also, its setting in a
large, popular venue by itself guaranteed that the ambience would be
somewhat different than it would be on the two aforementioned live
albums, both recorded in prisons. While Cash has a full band (including
Carl Perkins on electric guitar and his longtime associate Marshall
Grant on bass), the sound, to its credit, remains spare. The sound is
not amazingly top-of-the-line, but it's pretty good, and the repertoire
is extremely varied, taking in oldies like "Big River," "I Still Miss
Someone," "Long Black Veil," and "Folsom Prison"; his then-recent
smashes "Boy Named Sue" and "Daddy Sang Bass"; the Americana and Native
American advocacy of songs like "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" and "Remember
the Alamo"; the spiritual "Were You There (When They Crucified My
Lord"); and Ed McCurdy's anti-war folk revival tune "Last Night I Had
the Strangest Dream." There are also guest star turns for Carl Perkins
(who does "Blue Suede Shoes"), the Statler Brothers (who do their hit
"Flowers on the Wall"), and the Carter Family, whose two songs are
actually vivacious highlights of the disc, and a good change of pace
from Cash's customary low chug. Between-song raps on the Vietnam War,
prison, and other topics testify to Cash's ability to reach out to all
stripes of his constituency, though the finale medley (and the bits near
the end announcing the renewal of his TV show and explaining pregnant
June Carter's absence) are a tad showbizzy.

26 Suppertime (02:55)
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide. Johnny
Cash
How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit
on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in
that chasm is no place for any man. Johnny
Cash
I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I
realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I
just put them away, store them, get them out of sight. Johnny
Cash
It's like a novelist writing far out things. If it
makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if
it's off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same
with musical talent, I think. Johnny
Cash
My father was a man of love. He always loved me to
death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I
don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father. Johnny
Cash
Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one.
Cash causes all the trouble. They fight. Johnny
Cash
Success is having to worry about every damn thing in
the world, except money. Johnny
Cash
That was the big thing when I was growing up, singing
on the radio. The extent of my dream was to sing on the radio station
in Memphis. Even when I got out of the Air Force in 1954, I came right
back to Memphis and started knocking on doors at the radio station. Johnny
Cash
When I record somebody else's song, I have to make it
my own or it doesn't feel right. I'll say to myself, I wrote this and
he doesn't know it! Johnny
Cash
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.
Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but
you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any
of your time, or any of your space. Johnny
Cash
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know
what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve.
I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my
way. Johnny

Birthplace: Kingsland, Arkansas
Died: 12 September 2003
(complications from diabetes)
Best Known As: The singer of "Folsom Prison Blues"
Country singer Johnny Cash was nicknamed "The Man in Black," a nod to
his wardrobe as well as to the darker themes of his music. He got his
start with Sun Records in 1955. Like fellow Sun recording artists Jerry
Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis
Presley, Cash used country and gospel influences in what was called
rockabilly, an early form of rock 'n' roll. He wrote "Folsom Prison
Blues" while serving in the Air Force and in 1956 the song became one of
his first big hits. In the 1950s and '60s Cash toured relentlessly and
had many more hits, employing his rumbling, mournful baritone on tunes
like "I Walk the Line" and "Ring of Fire." In 1968 he married June
Carter of the Carter Family Singers. Cash later performed with
artists as diverse as Bob
Dylan and U2.
He earned a new audience with his 1994 acoustic album American
Recordings and continued to record new songs in spite of ongoing
struggles with pneumonia, diabetes and a nervous system disease known as
autonomic neuropathy. Cash was inducted into the Country Music Hall of
Fame in 1980 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. Two years
before his death, in 2001, he received the National Medal of the Arts
for artistic excellence.
Britannica Concise Encyclopedia:Johnny
Cash
(born Feb. 26, 1932, Kingsland, Ark., U.S. — died Sept.
12, 2003, Nashville, Tenn.) U.S. singer and songwriter. He learned
guitar and began writing songs during military service in the early
1950s. Settling in Memphis, he earned regular appearances on Louisiana
Hayride and the Grand
Ole Opry with hits such as "Hey, Porter," "Folsom Prison Blues,"
and "I Walk the Line." By 1957 Cash was acknowledged the top country
music artist. His popularity waned for a time because of health and
drug addiction problems, but his album Johnny Cash at Folsom
Prison (1968) led to his rediscovery by a wider audience. In 1968 he
married June Carter of the Carter
Family, with whom he had worked since 1961. In 1994 he released American Recordings, which was a critical and popular success
and won him a new generation of fans. His later albums include American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002). Cash was inducted
into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame in 1992. His autobiographies Man in Black and Cash (cowritten with Patrick Carr) were published in 1975 and
1997, respectively.

In 2010, Willie
Nelson released the aptly titled album "Country Music". At first
glance, the album's title could be seen as either confrontational or
pretentious given the state of country music today. However, if one were
to dig a little deeper, they would find that the album is actually a
tribute to traditional county music of yesteryear. Joining Willie on
this musical excursion is producer T-Bone Burnett, who last year
produced the Alison Krauss & Robert Plant duet
album "Raising Sand" and a decade earlier produced the soundtrack to the
George Clooney
film "O Brother Where Art Thou".

Johnny Cash was most certainly one of the most tortured souls of our
history, or was he? Maybe his life simply caused him to ask for so much
and in the catching up with who he wanted to be he had a lot of
experiences, and learned more than most will in a lifetime. His music
has always been about his experiences and those he witnessed, this
album is no different. Something in his voice and the inflection of his
words is different, there is peace, there is love, there is reverence.
It will touch your soul if you let it - not to mention your heart.

Legend of Johnny Cash
Wow, good stuff. Like many other reviewers, I do not consider myself a
country music fan, but I've heard enough about Johnny Cash to be
curious. I recently took a business trip to the Nashville area and
checked out the live music scene. I had a blast. Also, as I was
listening to the radio (I think it was the Grand Ole Opry station?) in
my rental car a song came on called "One Piece at a Time" by Johnny
Cash. What a great song! I immediately wanted to hear it again. As
soon as I got back home I went to look for a "greatest hits" CD and
found The Legend of Johnny Cash which contained this song plus many
others.
