Advantages: Willie's sweet voice and stinging guitar Disadvantages: It's not twice as long
...The music: clean, uncluttered introspective. The songs: conveying the stark, sere, loneness of the singer. It's been called "blue collar blues" and I'd call it that, too, more than I'd call it country music. Only three of the songs are new, written in the 1990s, the rest are refashioned from the 1960s, and the 30 years in between scarcely matter. The songs were chosen and pieced together to tell the story of obssessive love or convey the concept of domestic abuse, whichever way you want to see it. And they do succeed in working together. They succeed in taking hold of your heart and grabbing onto it hard.
Somehow, in WillieNelson's mature voice, the older songs take on a new edge and freshness. Emmy Lou Harris's background voice deepens the poignancy and works sweetly with Willie's. Hers is the ghostly voice of the victim and...

Advantages: It's Johnny Cash! What more do you what? Disadvantages: How can there be any? It's Johnny Cash!
...and tells of different little story's on that most profound of nights. It's fun to listen to and is a cheery song and if you listen carefully you hear the laughs.
22.Family Bible.
This has been sung by quite a few people and I think it is best known as a WillieNelson song. It is about the memory's that the family Bible hold and how dad would read from the family bible and then they would say there blessings. It is slow but kind of comforting.
Well folks that is it song wise, this is only how I see or hear the songs. I like this album and it is our CD of choice for the car at the moment.
The CD lasts for 59mins and 33 seconds
The sleeve has a picture Of JohnnyCash in his middle years and on the inside a brief run down of his life.
I can tell you know more than I like it and listen to it regularly.
It can be bought at the time...

Advantages: Most Of Cash's well known songs are here Disadvantages: Not enough songs!
...was obviously his favourite channel of doing so.
The song really is incredible and I urge you to listen to this so carefully because you'll actually find yourself agreeing with a lot of what Cash sings about. It does mention religion but I feel it 'fits' with what Cash is trying to get across, I'm amazed at how much of this song still applies to today's society.
The Highwayman
'Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain'

With WillieNelson, Waylon Jennings & Kris Kristofferson.
This song is actually my favourite of the whole album. I adore this song. By having this track on the album, we turn a corner in the chapter of the life of JohnnyCash. Recorded with 3 other huge country stars, this song almost became the moniker. The lyrics are really...
