Product Information

Condition - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description). Rolling Stone named it as one of the “100 Best Albums of the 2000s” and declared the set "a slice of American culture as monumental, and as enduring, as Mt. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. With each track being essential listening, there is refreshingly no filler material to pad out the collection. Few artists can boast a catalogue as diverse, memorable and remarkable as Johnny Cash and this collection of unreleased and inspirational material is as vital as the myriad albums and compilations which preceded it.

The recordings, which run the stylistic gamut from stark balladry to punchy rockabilly to heartfelt gospel to classic covers, offer a stunning encapsulation of Cash's wide-ranging musical vision, and provide a fitting epitaph for his iconic career. If We Never Meet Again This Side of Heaven" was previously recorded by Cash for his 1962 album Hymns from the Heart.A really nice box set, but it's a shame that they really missed the care about the records production. Also, maybe the light scuff may have been occured in the transport, the disc can move in the sleeve since it's not enough tight. Not just a must have for completists but for those who see Cash as a great interpreter of other's work alongside his own. If you have big fingers be careful because it can be foolishly riped or damaged since the "accordion" jackets to insert the discs don't "spread" or open as wide as you may think, so take this in consideration.

This mammoth five CD box of seventy nine tracks from his American Recording sessions will only enhance his legend. It's true that there is no ground breaking version of a contemporary song, no fresh triumph like ''The Mercy Seat'' or ''Hurt''. Flesh and Blood" was previously recorded by Cash for the soundtrack to the 1970 film I Walk the Line.The first three discs feature outtakes and alternate versions of songs recorded for American Recordings, American II: Unchained, American III: Solitary Man and American IV: The Man Comes Around. Flesh and Blood" is a newer version of the original that was written for I Walk the Line (Soundtrack). Devil's Right Hand" was previously recorded by Cash with the Highwaymen for the 1995 album The Road Goes on Forever.

He lived with the likes of ''Understand Your Man'', ''Banks Of The Ohio'' and ''Fifth Man In The Fire'' all his life, and his performances are relaxed, warm and soulful. Comes with a very handy, entertaining and interesting little book; quite informative and full of cool facts from that era. Perhaps the biggest highlight in this awe-inspiring set is its vast liner note, a loving collection of essays and recollections that highlight the history and stories behind this eclectic array of songs. Although the images used on the standalone CD depict Cash near the end of his life, most of the recordings on My Mother's Hymn Book actually date to Cash's early sessions for American in 1993–1994 (hence the fact they only feature Cash performing by himself). I don't know, maybe for lack of space, legal stuff (the duet with Joe Strummer on Marley's "Redemption Song" is out of this world), whatever, but even the weakest track is a good one; I like them a lot, all have that touch that only Cash is capable to imprint in them.Who's Gonna Cry focuses on acoustic solo recordings, and finds Cash revisiting several classic songs from his legendary catalog. Many of the songs Cash recorded during the American sessions were updated versions of songs he had previously recorded. Cinque stelle, anche se nel complesso il cofanetto è inferiore ai precedenti 6 LP (o cd) American Recordings dai quali trae un po' di materiale.
