Title: Surprising hits from surprising sources (and a few duds)
Review: Johnny Cash / The Man Comes Around / American IV (American Recordings - CD with bonus DVD): Be sure to get the version of this album with the DVD that has the perfect video of "Hurt". This CD has some of the best and worst of the American series. With Johnny's great version of the Nine Inch Nails song "Hurt", his version of the oft covered song "Personal Jesus" (which was first done by Depeche Mode), and Richard Thompson's "Tear Stained Letter", this album has some of Johnny's best work. However, this album also has two nearly unlistenable songs, namely his versions of "Bridge over troubled water" and "in my life". Despite those two very bad songs, this album still contains so much great stuff that it rates Five Stars.
