Free Music Review: Cash Unchained
Hit: 5 Stars
If any artist did not have anything to prove in their later years, it was Johnny Cash. If any artist went out with a spectacular farewell, it was Cash and the several American Recording CD sessions he had. What makes Unchained one of the best of all these is the sheer power that comes from simple, acoustic grace accompanied by the low but serene vocals Cash was known so well for. Unchained spans a variety of songs that show Cash in probably his most energetic phase throughout the American Recording album releases. Just listen to the haunting, rolling melody of "Rowboat" that is followed up by the kinder, gentler "Sea of Heartbreak" and one can see that even though fifty years of triumph and tragedy has passed, he still has it and then some.
Cash absorbed many covers for his American Recording sessions, and the rock song by Soundgarden called "Rusty Cage" is one of the most exciting songs that could have ever been redone by the country western star. Cash's power as a man who was always telling a story that often had an unhappy beginning and ending is splendid with this track, and I would not be surprised if Soundgarden band members were enjoying it when they heard it as well.
Slower, softer moods are felt later on with many of the tracks and it only helps solidify this album as every bit a Johnny Cash treasure of modern day musical grace.
Unchained Poster
The first four songs on Unchained come from the songbooks of Beck, Don Gibson, Soundgarden, and Jimmie Rodgers. What might look like absurdly unsupportable eclecticism in other artists, of course, is pretty much standard stuff for Cash. Unchained is hardly standard, though; it's more like the best album he's made since his 1984 departure from Columbia Records. Not only is this a stack of songs perfectly and idiosyncratically suited to the man, they're given door-rattling backing treatment by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, who prove as fitting for Cash's music as his own Tennessee Two was back in the day. --Rickey WrightOut of print in the U.S.! Two years on from his triumphant comeback album, American Recordings, 1996's Unchained took the blueprint of it's predecessor and added Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers to the mix along with Marty Stuart, Lindsay Buckingham, Flea and many others. The results were just as fantastic, adding a different dimension and fullness to the overall sound, but maintaining the mood and atmosphere that made American Recordings such a treasure. Songs written by Petty, Chris Cornell and Beck rub shoulders with a handful of Johnny originals. Warner.
