Free Music Notes for The Essential Johnny Cash

Free Music Review: Back when country was good...
Hit: 4 Stars

I can't stand today's country at all! Everything on the radio is repetitive with lyrics written by a redneck 10 year old and the singing is ear-cringing and with an exaggerated Southern drawl. But back in the day, country was The Man and Black, who had some pretty deep lyrics and a booming, deep voice.

The collection itself has a lot of variety, from some of his early stuff to some gospel to some newer stuff, including a U2 song he did. The reason why I don't give this product 5 stars is because of the unnecessary censorship in 'A Boy Named Sue." The line 'I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you Sue' is 'I'm the (BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP) that named you Sue.' Very annoying, indeed.

But despite that, Johnny Cash is worth checking out, even if you don't like country,

The Essential Johnny Cash Poster

It's a great and perhaps impossible challenge to encapsulate the highlights of Johnny Cash's vast musical catalog in a two-CD, 36-song collection like this. Yet, though it barely scratches the surface, 2002's The Essential Johnny Cash--part of a series of compilations and reissues celebrating Cash's 70th birthday--does present three-dozen satisfying and balanced snapshots of some of the Man in Black's most memorable work for the Sun, Columbia, and Mercury labels. Above all else, these 36 selections are wonderful reminders of Cash's rustic eclecticism. Cuts range from '50s Sun rockabilly classics like "Hey Porter" and "I Walk the Line" to '60s country-folk gems like "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" and Cash's memorable duet with Bob Dylan on Dylan's "Girl from the North Country." Also included are more recent samplings of Cash's celebrated collaborations, including "Highwayman," which he recorded in 1984 with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson as part of the on-again, off-again supergroup the Highwaymen, and "The Wanderer," a fervent gospel collaboration with U2 that appeared on the band's 1993 album, Zooropa. --Bob Allen
