...brother bought "Johnny Cash live at St Quentin" and it was a real eye opener, or should I say ear opener to me. Previously to this I had sort of heard him in passing but not taken that much notice. As a flighty teenager he had seemed far too old and straight to appeal to me. It took my advancing years to truly get a feel for the man and his music. However "San Quentin" was one of the first rungs on the ladder. My boyfriend at the time, and Husband ...
...is Country. Johnny Cash At San Quentin "San Quentin" was recorded on February 24th 1969, two days before Cash’s 37th birthday, at a concert held in San Quentin prison for the inmates. It quickly became a bestseller and topped various music charts. This was the fourth time Cash had appeared and played at San Quentin, the first being on January 1st 1958. After a rain soaked performance in the prison yard in 1958, Cash won the respect of the hardened ...

Review of At San Quentin [Remastered] - Johnny Cash

The Man In Black lives on!

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 couldn't believe my eyes when I realised that a review hadn't been written on this great box set. Mainly because it is Johnny Cash, and hence, a legend (as the title of the product suggests)! 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 ...
...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! Now, if this doesn't seem like enough Johnny Cash fun for you, there is also a 72 page display ...

Review of Legend, The - Johnny Cash

The Man In Black at his best

Advantages: Great travelogue in music of the Old West
Disadvantages: None

This is a fascinating album presenting Johnny Cash as a singer and a narrator. Each track is preceded by the haunting sound in the background of a steam locomotive and its whistle while Johnny tells a story of the song he is about to sing. Track 1 - Loading Coal (4mins.59secs.) The travelogue begins with a recital of place-names of America and continues with the thundering names of the indian tribes who lived here first. Then Johnny boards the ...
...country of Kentucky. He presents a brief character sketch of a boy whose father is a miner. "Loading Coal" tells the story of a miner who never expects to get rich but still follows the tradition of his family. Track 2 - Slow Rider(4.10) The train then moves westward onto the prairies where we meet the outlaw John Wesley Hardin, whose murderous life is described with sincerity. Then we meet another westerner, a saddle tramp who rides an old horse. ...
