Title: The Man in Black.
Review: I'm not a fan of country music as I typically find it either too twangy, too redneck, to white-trash, or too cheesy. However, Johnny Cash is another story. He is what country music should be. It's a great testament that American Recordings was made while Johnny Cash was in his sixties. Listen to American Recordings and then listen to Tina Turner's Twenty Four Seven. Johnny Cash blows Tina out of the water. I suppose Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits are the only other musicians that could match Johnny Cash. American recordings is an intimate portrait of country/folk songs. Even though Cash didn't write the majority of songs, he sounds like he did. This is a must have for any rock collector. Mr. Cash turns in a brilliantly subtle recording here.
