There hasn't been an individual who's been as cool as J Cash, and there probably never will be.

"Including the sounds of chains and haunting acoustic guitars it proves to be one of the finest songs on the record. If not one of the finest tracks produced during the American recording sessions."

"That scope being that even though he has left this world. Johnny still lives on through the music that he has created over his lifetime."

"Now as the summary sort of hinted at. This album is almost entirely about death."

"A topic fleetingly sung about in mainstream music now-a-days. And hardly ever the focus of an entire album."

there are probably more but you get the picture.

^ thank you for that. true that someguest

Ain't No Grave is an awesome, awesome song. Everytime I hear it I think of the Undertaker though, lol.

Should probably check this out, the only American series album from Cash I haven't heard.

A few things that I was thinking about...

I don't think that I would've written the review any differently. I bought this CD yesterday thinking I would review it. Now I probably won't, though this is clearly a gem, in mine eyes.

I would've talked more about how this album sounds, i.e. major-key pop styling.

You could've talked about the song selection, maybe if you liked or didn't like the song selection? Choosing songs to cover for a major-label full-length album release is not exactly like picking songs for a playlist on your iPod. Is it?

Johnny Cash only wrote one song on this entire album. "I Corinthians 15:55" figures pretty prominently in the middle of this album. What, if any, is the significance of it?

How did the cover song(s) fair when compared with the original(s)? (As an example, I recall Cash's Hurt was a huge departure from NIN's Hurt, but they are both smashing songs.)

^ Thanks for pointing those things out Activista, I might edit up the review or I will for sure keep those things in mind for future reviews.
