From Amazon - American country singer Johnny Cash's eighty-first album, "American Recordings," marked the beginning of a career resurgence for Cash. Released in April 1994, it features singles "Delia's Gone" and "Drive On" and received almost universal critical acclaim. From verified purchaser - jimnypivo5.0 out of 5 stars much more than just 'country' musicReviewed in the United States on July 27, 2006 After mentioning Johnny's recording of *The Man Who Couldn't Cry* in a review of Loudon Wainwright's *Attempted Moustache* disc, I knew I'd get around to purchasing *American Recordings*. Back then I said, "it's hard to imagine The Man in Black singing `he was beaten, bullied and buggered, and made to make license plates' with dignity".Well, I'm here to say that Johnny did pull it off with dignity, albeit with a few chortles from the live audience.I'm glad I did get around to *American Recordings*, because it's quite impressive. It is done simply with Johnny's inimitable Voice the only accompaniment to his acoustic guitar. Its effectiveness is enhanced because he takes risks by doing songs you wouldn't think Johnny Cash would do. And better music comes forth because he did.He and/or Rick Rubin picked the songs well. They include C&W classics--*Why Me Lord*, *Tennessee Stud* and *Oh Bury Me (Not on the Lone Prairie)*; a few covers of tunes from Loudon, Nick Lowe, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits; and the rest are JRC originals.Although not a real Country Music fan, I always enjoyed his songs growing up. *Ring of Fire*, *Boy Named Sue*, and *Folsom Prison Blues* all seemed refreshing because he was always trying something new and different. But he never reached too far outside the Essential Johnny Cash.It's that voice that gets you. Soulful and pained when it needs to be, regretful, or sensitive. Always, his diction clear. Cash sounds honest but never pretentious, a true American sound. CD 130 Sellers Notes: All LPs & CDs are visually graded per the Goldmine Grading System.
