You have one of the great voices in American music, 13 good to excellent tracks, and all of this for just $7. There's not much else that needs to be said about this album. 98! This isn't really country music, so don't let Mr. Cash's association with country turn you off from this. This is great music. Get it.


A Great Series of Recordings
I started with the first one "American Recordings". After hearing so many people gush about the Johnny Cash /Rick Rubin American series for several years, I finally got around to giving them a listen. The first listen was a wow moment. A few weeks later I bought the next three "Unchained", "American III: Solitary Man" and American IV: The Man Comes Around". I had a long day of data entry to do so I ended up listening to these three CDs in one sitting on head phones. Amazingly I did not get bored with them and the time just flew by.

They did everything right on this series, from song selection to what seamed like the unerring production on every track. Be it Johnny with one guitar or a full band it seamed like no mistakes were made. Cash's voice was starting fade a bit on American IV but I found it to be an apt conclusion to his story in music. All four CDs are worth having and I will get American V some time soon.


This is a very fitting swansong for Cash.

buy this on vinyl
The word that springs to mind is organic. This superb album, constituting Johnny's amazing career comeback, sounds much better on vinyl than CD. Don't hesitate in buying it. I'm listening to it as I'm typing this out. It's superbly pressed, better than most "audiophile" releases. This is the way to listen to CASH.

johnny is value for your cash
this album is simply one of his best every track is great with 'the beast in me' being my personal favourite. just dim the lights open a bottle of wine sit back and just listen, let the music take you over. fantastic value for money. i recommend the american recordings to all johnny cash fans and as an introduction to newcomers just to show you how good the man in black was. .


But this CD!
This is an amazing collectino of songs and shows the reason why everyone loves Cash.
