Angolian Cry - Johnny Dyani Quartet

Advantages: Inspirational, soulful... definitely a must have.
Disadvantages: None.

...-wrenching HURT to the comedic PERSONAL JESUS. This cd will make you smile, but it will also make you sad because many of the songs touch a cord of desperation and futility, a sense of there being no hope... but that's not a bad thing... it's a good thing... like the words in the song HURT - "I hurt myself today, to see if I could feel". This compilation of songs does just that, they make you smile, they make you sad, they make you FEEL. Every single song bears the mark of Johnny Cash, regardless that numerous others over the years have sung those same songs... BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS - DANNY BOY - I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY ... to name but a few. However, the true Cash is seen, felt and heard in HURT and WE'LL MEET AGAIN. This cd also contains the video to HURT... and is a touching trip down memory lane. Mr. Cash is no longer here... Read review

Advantages: 104 songs means great value for money, plus, a book!
Disadvantages: Not a chance of getting this on your CD shelf, it is a tall book too!

I shall start straight away with mentioning that you won't get a huge description about every song on the album, as you would with my normal reviews. "Why, Alastair, WHYYYYY?!!!" I hear you cry... well, frankly, because there are 104 songs on the album, and if I did, I'd be here for a year....and so would you! :o) This product is, in my opinion, the definitive box set from Mr. Johnny "The Man In Black" Cash. The box set celebrates the 50th anniversary of Johnny Cash's recordings between 1955-2005. It consists of 104 recordings from 1955 through to 2002, the year before he sadly died. The set also includes 7 tracks that were previously unreleased... Read review
