"Give My Love To Rose" won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. AMERICAN IV: THE MAN COMES AROUND was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals. When the first volume of Johnny Cash's AMERICAN series appeared in 1994, it would have been difficult to predict its critical and commercial success, much less the fact that an illness-beset Cash would be turning out a powerful fourth installment of the series eight years later. Like its three predecessors, AMERICAN IV is a home-recorded, bare-bones Rick Rubin production wherein Cash tackles old classics by other writers as well as more contemporary tunes by artists from the rock world, with a smattering of his own new compositions thrown in. It's also arguably the strongest since the first volume. Now that the novelty of hearing the Man in Black tackle tunes by the likes of Depeche Mode ("Personal Jesus") and Nine Inch Nails ("Hurt") has worn off, we can get past the gimmickry to fully appreciate the power of Cash's soul-baring interpretations. He brings an equal amount of gravitas to old country and folk tunes like "Streets of Laredo" and "Give My Love to Rose." To hear Cash's worn, husky, lived-in voice inhabit the world-weary narrative of the Beatles' "In My Life" and the graphic, almost spiritual romance of the Ewan MacColl-penned ballad "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is to be led directly to the heart of these songs' deepest meanings.

Reviews  The Man Comes Around I always said Johnny Cash was more goth than country and this album filled with originals and covers seems to prove my point. Of course I'm half joking about the goth thing but this is a very very dark album packed with songs about death and pain. One of the most real and honest albums I've ever come across. 5 Huge stars. Review ID: 10000000006716265 Was this review helpful? Report this review Johnny Cash has come aroundI only bought the CD, but that was enough. This is a different Cash that we've always been used to, but certainly not unpleasant. His voice seems a little shaky on a couple of tracks, perhaps betraying his age. My favourite: "Give my love to Rose" is supurb. Well worth a spin. Review ID: 10000000002918944 Was this review helpful? Report this review American IV: The Man Comes ARound CD&DVD Johnny Cash 03Review created: 07/06/06 by: If you love Johnny Cash you will love this CD. Many songs on the CD are not his usual genre. It is a soulful collection of songs whose theme is death, loneliness and enlightenment. His aging voice adds depth to the notes and words. The DVD "Hurt" is a heartwrenching insight to the man, his pain, and especially the lose of his wife, June Carter Cash. This CD has become one of my most played discs.

Report this review  What comes around....Review created: 03/11/05 by: cr01 -- a member of Epinions Pros: The emotion of a man sharing songs with the world for one final time. Cons: Not altogether successful choice of cover versions I finally bought Johnny Cash s last album American IV: The Man Comes Around. It s a recording I have been after for a while, since hearing his version of Trent Reznor s (Nine Inch Nails) Hurt. Cash s version of the song and accompanying video has a particular poignancy given that both Cash and his wife June Carter died not too long after its release. I figured even if I didn t like any of the other tracks on the album (and C Review ID: 10000000000582346 Epinions.com ratings are not included in the item's average rating.
