Title: Though Gone, Cash Is Still With Us
Review: I feel weird buying Johnny Cash albums three years after his death, but his music is still very good. Ravaged by the approach of death, Cash's voice is still powerful despite the loss of depth and range. His lyrics are, if anything, better than they've ever been; much of that is of course directly related to the decidedly spiritual bent his music took near the end of his life. Though many of the songs on this album fill me with a sorrowful hollowness while listening; afterwards, as the music and words fade away, I feel uplifted. I've been listening to Johnny Cash all my life, and it wasn't until he was gone that I realized how much his music, whether it was lively or foreboding, pleased me tremendously. I miss him, but I've still got him.
