"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.

Report this review  Modern Day Johnny Cash Classics..Review created: 03/15/08 by: This is a great CD filled with some great cover songs as well as some originals. Nine Inch Nails "Hurt" is the popular one on here but there are also some real gems."Bridge over Troubled Water" and "Personal Jesus" are also very inspiring. My favorite is the first track, "The Man Comes Around". It is a brilliant song. Definitely a must have for any Rock and Country fan. Review ID: 10000000006208458 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Great compilation of songsReview created: 07/07/07 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. The lyrics are so deep and I love that. Johnny Cash has a sound like no other and is a very talented musician. The beat to Own Personal Jesus is awesome. There are about 2 songs that I usually skip over, but the remaining are all good. I recommend this for someone who is a "first" at tryingout Johnny Cash. Review ID: 10000000003956382 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
