Advantages: He is Johnny Cash Disadvantages: I am not Johnny Cash
...there I have to agree with him, as it covers what the south is really about, and is full of soul and love as well as poverty and desperation, 4 things that Johnny knew all about. You see there it is again great country music is sung from the heart from experience. “Mean Eyed Cat” is a song that took over 40 years to write, Johnny was never happy with the version Sam Phillips put out in 1955. this niggled at Johnny until he finally wrote the third verse in 1995, this is one of my favourite songs on the album a great dancing country rockabilly song, but if you square dance to this I’ll punch you in the face ok.
“Meet Me In Heaven” was a song Johnny had written for his wife June but was also the words written into his brothers tombstone, and really I can’t say much more about a song that personal to the writer other than it is a beautiful piece...

Advantages: Great Johnny & June CD, Some Great Country Favourites Disadvantages: Some tracks to short, some too slushy!
...is obvious, this song songs like it actually means so much to them. The lyrics are accompanied by a beautiful simple tune. One can't help but to listen to the lyrics and catch a fleeting glimpse into the love that this couple shared. Such a fitting end to a wonderful album, you reallt can't get any better than this!
OVERALL:
~~~~~~~~
As a fan of Johnny Cash but not a big fan of June Carter, this is a great album to showcase how talented she actually was. I wouldn't say it would make me go out and buy her solo albums but it is a great introduction nonetheless. The songs are so varied that I am sure there would be something for everyone, Johnny & June fan or not. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who has seen the film, 'Walk The Line' and is looking for an introduction to country music, not just Johnny Cash music.
My only sadness about...

Advantages: Amazing melodies and profound beautiful lyrics Disadvantages: Absolutely none
...Silvio Rodriguez is known in Latin America simply as Silvio.
This alone goes to show the status he has reached in his beloved America Latina.
"Cuba Classics" or "Canciones Urgentes" (Urgent Songs) is usually the album of his that you will find more readily in Britain. However, youcan order most of them from amazon.co.uk. This one costs £11.99.
****************************************
Silvio Rodriguez Dominguez is a Cuban; a Cuban of the Revolution. Many will find that a put off, sadly few people really understand the Cuban Revolution and only heed what the media say about it, but that is a different topic. I urge you to pay more attention to the artistic side of his though, for his melodic music is simply matchless and for those who understand Spanish, his lyrics are pure poetry...
