Guide Review - Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around
After more than 5 decades of making tremendous music that can alternately touch, anger, inspire, & enlighten, Johnny Cash returns to the studio to present a new disc that is overwhelmingly full of heart, soul & pure emotion.
This is a delightfully eccentric collection of oddball covers & Cash originals which continues the Cash legacy with impressive style and grace. This disc may only appeal to hardcore Cash fans; but it doesn't matter, as it seems that at his age, Johnny Cash is making music he likes; it's not country, it's not rock, it's not folk, but it is all of those things and more.
It is difficult to find all the proper words to describe its simplicity, its majesty, its sheer brilliance. I guess the best thing to say is just: CASH.
