...One of my long time favourite singers, Johnny Cash has been enjoying something of a revival of late, although the man in black passed on in 2003, the film, 'Walk The Line' and recent releases of 'American V' & perviously 'The Man Comes Around', Johnny Cash seems to be appealling not only to Country & Western fans but to young and old alike, you can't help but love those baritone vocals I feel!.
