Title: Johnny's Masterpiece
Review: Over the years, Johnny Cash has entertained scores of listeners with a brand of music that cannot be considered merely country. Which brings us to this album. This is not country, rock, or any other stereotypical classification of music. It is the sound of a genius putting the final touches on his masterpiece. There is hardly a weak track on this album, which is amazing for the fact that the genius here is over 70 and considered by some critics as "over the hill." For those of you who haven't seen the "Hurt" video or heard the song, it is a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song. Not only did the video make my eyes misty, I cry when I even hear the song (which I play frequently). Johnny also performs a staggering version of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" with guest vocals from Nick Cave. I have listened to a lot of music over the years, but I have never heard an album that moves me as much as this one does. Go buy this CD today... and hide the razor-blades!
