Album Notes
"Flesh And Blood" (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Sheryl Crow & Emmylou Harris) was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals.
Kicking off with Dwight Yoakam performing Johnny Cash's own homage to Bob Dylan, "Understand Your Man," which is an obvious ringer for "Don't Think Twice It's Alright," this all-star tribute to the Man in Black is a smoothly professional salute to the Man In Black. Dylan's spoken introduction to "Train of Love" is almost worth the price of admission by itself, and the live, rough track is a delight.
There's also Keb Mo' dragging "Folsom Prison" back to its Delta roots, and Sheryl Crow playing the accordion on Mary Chapin Carpenter and Emmylou Harris's gorgeous version of "Flesh and Blood." The gravel-voiced Steve Earle performs a creditable version of the more obscure "Hardin Wouldn't Run," but pride of place must surely go to A.P. and Sara Carter's daughter Janette Carter's poignant "Meet Me in Heaven," on which she's accompanied by Johnny and his wife June Carter Cash. The fragile vocals underline the sad fact that even country legends don't stay around forever, which makes this excellent tribute to a living legend all the more welcome.
