Free Music Notes for Great Lost Performances
Free Music Review: Deflationary Cash?
Hit: 3 Stars
If you've been to the mountain-tops "At Folsom Prison" and "At San Quentin," this "lost" performance (taped on 28 July 1990 at Asbury Park [New Jersey]'s Paramount Theatre) may come somewhat as a let-down. The audience is predictably appreciative but not "wired"; JRC's performance is professional but lacking the kind of inspiration that live audiences usually sparked in him. It's a rather brief concert--just over 53 minutes--and the audio quality seems muddier to my ears than many records 20-30 years older than this. On the other hand, the song-selection is interesting, with a mix of oldest ("Hey Porter") and for that time newest ("What Is Man") and in between a good mix of standbys and unexepecteds ("Sunday Morning Coming Down"; "A Beautiful Life"). Also on hand are June Carter and sisters Anita and Helen, Lucy Clark, Fluke Holland, and, wicked on piano, Earl Poole Ball. The liner notes are spare and basic.
Bottom line: Except for when in the clutches of his demons, Cash was incapable of not entertaining. This performance, however long lost, is hardly "The Great." Compleatists like myself will still buy and enjoy it.
Free Music Review: Lost or just hidden?
Hit: 3 Stars
It was just ok. It wasn't one of Johnny's more dynamic performances and the back up musicians were not up to par. I wouldn't buy it again.Free Music Review: Too religious
Hit: 2 Stars
I realize JC was 'saved' more than once during his life, but this CD has a bit too much religious/gospel recordings on it for me. Some fans no doubt will like it but it's a bit much for my tastes.
