In 1994 made country music singer Johnny Cash (1932) a striking comeback by rock producer Rick Rubin. Initially self-titled result appeared on Rubins American Recordings record label soon popularly and got the same name. The collaboration went so well that there with Unchained (1996) and Solitary Man (2000) follow-up albums. In 2002, Johnny not only seventy (!) years old, but also appeared in the four part series American Recordings: The Man Comes Around. The cd was made according to the same master and that means again an acoustic album on which Cash own compositions alternating with some striking and songwriters who have created and covers. This time he has numbers as Personal Jesus (original by Depeche Mode), In My Life (The Beatles), Desperado (The Eagles) and I Hung My Head '(Sting) to know his hand.

In the row covers is really only the Sung duet with Fiona Apple Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel) somewhat against. Absolute highlights include the title track, written by Cash himself the Hank Williams classic I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and the Nine Inch Nails-Hurt, which cover the listener literally by the throat. Sorry but I just don´t like the american recordings series. It´s Johnny cash still a great singer, singing unworthy songs. Just middle of the road rock music.And I don´t want to say it ever was undergound. Bouken jidai katsugeki goemon ps2 iso converter. But this is just to shallow and effect hascher dreamy than to be good.

And between you and me, people like Bono and Sting or Depeche Mode are just in the 4th league of songwriting. His producer has failed to send him adequate material ( what could he have done to a Townes Van zandt Song for example?) for it´s not only the singer but the song (Mick is wrong). Looking for feedback on the quality of this pressing. Sounds very crisp in the higher freqs to my ear. Some serious distortion in several tracks; mastered too hot?? This is not the first time I have been unimpressed with the Back to Black pressings.

Same problem in fact. I get the sense these pressings are being sent to market with very little consideration and quality control. Shame as the musical production on this record is as good as it gets. Wish Rick Rubin would get involved with the QC on the reissue.

. Summary: Johnny Cash, still going strong at age 70, returns for a fourth album with producer Rick Rubin. Like the previous three pairings, this disc mixes Cash originals with unlikely covers, which this time out include Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus,' Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt,' and Simon & Garfunkel's Johnny Cash, still going strong at age 70, returns for a fourth album with producer Rick Rubin.

Like the previous three pairings, this disc mixes Cash originals with unlikely covers, which this time out include Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus,' Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt,' and Simon & Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water.' Fiona Apple, Nick Cave, and Don Henley are among the guests. The 70's raw reckless experimentalism is dead. The wonderful 80's started a new path of sound but was ultimately I'm 40. The 70's raw reckless experimentalism is dead. The wonderful 80's started a new path of sound but was ultimately killed by its record companies and resultant overkill redundancies.

The ninieties stood as 10 long years of everything-you've-heard-before-rehashed and a decade of music that will be forgotten forever. This decade will be known as the one true decade of musical fusion. To wit: You get these really old crazy bastards who did their own thing year in and year out, regardless if they were fat or starving depending on the market. They just didn't care.

They just wanted the hard career road of doing what they pleased. The ultimate F-You. Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and especially Lou Reed.but before you can count out the 4th commercial-free iconoclast, here comes Johnny Cash. He dropped off the radar before Rick Rubin groveled at him in '93. We are all lucky Rubin did. Who would of thought that Rubin's proposition to Cash would change everything? 'I want to sign you to my label.

You can sing anything you want, just you and your guitar.' And you are the luckiest man in the universe to have a monster like Cash look at you and say, 'OK.' American IV is a knowing swan song. Is every song about The End? He burned a decade with Rubin showing he was the badass of badasses, but with IV, he sang it like it was his last. He said so in the liner notes. People will go on and on about the devastating version of a the devastating NIN song 'Hurt,' but for me the THINGS I KEEP COMING BACK TO ARE: Sting's straightforward 'I Hung My Head,' Cash's 'The Man Comes Around,' Cash' 'Sam Hall, the Eagle's 'Desperado', and the beautiful treatment of tear-jerker 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.'

I grew up with a dad and mom who loved Elvis, Neil Diamond, Waylon, Willie, and Johnny Cash. I did not get reintroduced 'til 'Delia's Gone.' I used to laugh uncomfortably when my uncle-a die hard Johnny fan-would say 'a Dylan song? You're full of shit, Brent. That's a Johnny song.'

Now I understand. For me, this album is made great by its bookends - 'The Man Comes Around' original Cash opener, and 'We'll Meet Again' as the closer. For me, this album is made great by its bookends - 'The Man Comes Around' original Cash opener, and 'We'll Meet Again' as the closer. Also enjoyable are 'Streets of Laredo', 'Desperado', and 'Sam Hall'. On first listens to this disk, I've tended to jump from track 1 to track 9, bypassing some of the more well known covers which - for the most part - are decently done. But it's as we hit 'Sam Hall' and 'Danny Boy' that the album really comes back to Cash territory.

From electrified to devestated to heartsick to tearstained, this album took me on a tour through my heart down the path less taken. I still From electrified to devestated to heartsick to tearstained, this album took me on a tour through my heart down the path less taken. I still come out of it crying, often without making it all the way through the album. The first time I encountered his cover- i was speechless, on the floor, in tears. The spirit of the original song became a counterpoint to a different side of my heart, and connected two different feelings. Though not the most artfully constructed album i have experienced, it remains a powerful work that moves me with terrible ease.

That makes it great in my book. This album makes my skin crawl! Our local public radio station, WDET, played it from start to finish. I listened in utter amazement that This album makes my skin crawl! Our local public radio station, WDET, played it from start to finish. I listened in utter amazement that something so horrible would be played on such a normally intuitive radio station. I see, I am in the minority here, but listen to the album!

I subject my wife to a lot of hard-to-warm-up-to musicians, Dylan, Chris Smither, Lead Belly, Tom Waits, etc, but even I cannot swallow this!
