Negative Positive
Title: very good
Review: I want to mention Danny Boy. When I heard it I wept. hard to believe anyone could revisit that song and nail it. Some songs feel as thought they were picked for the irony of Johnny Cash sing them and they don't quite work. Personal Jesus espesially. one can see how truly weak a song it is. Even in Johnny's formiable hands it's still just a riff and half an idea for a hook that never finds its voice. "Hurt" is brilliant and "The Man Comes Around" may be the finest Johnny Cash song ever. I wish that he had done "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" on Unchained when his voice was stronger. It's rambling melody doesn't work for Johnny's voice. Message to Rick Rubin! Edit Fiona Apple's insipid "harmony" on "Bridge Over Troubled Water"! Get this record for "Danny Boy". I'm made breathless every time I hear it.
