Free Music Review: Lots of Big, Famous Johnny Cash Songs on One CD, (one more of many collections)!
Hit: 5 Stars

Johnny Cash is such a famous musical superstar that there are many collections of his songs. This one is probably as good as any, and better than many.

This one is from Columbia Records, a major label, so the sound quality is up to industry standards. Unfortunately, many Johnny Cash collections are put out by tiny, off brand record companies, so it is always a plus to buy product from a major label selling Johnny's stuff. Actually, Columbia was Cash's second major label, after he left the (tiny but) influential Sun Records, due to Sun's reluctance to allow him to do Gospel music. So Columbia was his record company for years.

This album has songs originally released between 1956 through 1979, ranging in length from 2:22 for "In the Jailhouse," to 8:26 for "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer," but it is the big, famous songs that are the main reason to buy this CD, and I just ignore some of the lesser tunes.

This CD has many great, classic tunes. "I Walk the Line," "Daddy Sang Bass," "A Boy Named Sue," and "One Piece at a Time" are the biggest radio hits, and I believe these are the versions that were the hits.

"Folsom Prison Blues" is live. "Ring of Fire" has Mexican horns sounding off, which sound great, but I have heard this song on the radio with and without the horns, so I am not sure which version was the first, actual hit.

"Man in Black" tries to explain why Johnny liked to wear black clothing.

There are also some famous songs that Johnny covers but wasn't necessarily the artist who first made the songs famous (I think); "Ghost Riders in the Sky," "Sunday Morning Coming Down."

Among Johnny Cash's other albums, I really enjoy his AMERICAN IV: THE MAN COMES AROUND, and he has a priceless, but affordable, spoken word 16 CD set of his totally great reading of the Bible's New Testament, which I highly recommend to any Johnny Cash fan!

The Johnny Cash biography movie, WALK THE LINE is an incredible film and a great way to learn and understand the career and influence of this great man of American music, and the movie's Soundtrack CD is a really enjoyable listen that will remind you of the great movie, (though it has no Johnny Cash performances, but is a great tribute, sung by the movie's actors, and is recommended by me, if you enjoyed the film).

16 Biggest Hits Poster

Feature's Johnny's all-time greatest songs, including I Walk The Line, Ring Of Fire, Folsom Prison Blues, Man In Black, and A Boy Named Sue!
Too much of Cash's best work is left out to make this collection anything more than a cursory introduction to country's Man in Black. The double-CD compilation, fittingly dubbed The Man in Black, at least allows for some deeper exploration (although it lacks any liner notes whatsoever), while the outstanding three-disc Essential box truly allows you to sink your teeth into this legendary figure. Still, the songs that comprise 16 Biggest Hits do provide a telling snapshot of Cash's substance and style--honest, straightforward, direct music devoid of ulterior motives and delivered with conviction. --Marc Greilsamer
