CyberHippie Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 So what's *the* album to have? I've got none. Although I did take a shine to that NIN song he covered just before he died. It's about time I had a Cash album in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 My personal favorite is Live At Folsom Prison ... I hear San Quentin is even more mindblowing, but I haven't gotten that one yet. RnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 A great place to start is: At Folsom Prison/ At San Quentin (The Complete 1969 Concert)/ America collection,I have all three albums (not the box set though) and love them all,although I have more then that those are my favourite and I know I'll be grabbing the box set eventualy.Unchained is also a really good album on it he even covers Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage" which is awesome.edit to add:I also have the Dylan/Cash unreleased studio sessions and it is top notch music,some of my favourite Dylan & Cash.

kung Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 The American Recordings I-IV are must haves really, produced by Rick Rubin formerly of Def Jam and other metal projects recently Jay Z. Look for the cover of In My Life if you want to have a little weap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Just watched/listened to "Hurt" man that is one *heavy* 3 min and 51 seconds. But it's awesome. For some reason it reminds me of my dad, he was a big a country fan and loved Johnny Cash. That Cash/Dylan/Harrison stuff sounds like it would be great!

kung Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Seriously if you think that's heavy (which it is) listen to In My Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted June 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Man, I don't know if I can go that far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 That Cash/Dylan/Harrison stuff sounds like it would be great! It is,but if you were to grab either of the two boots,I'd reccomend the Dylan/Cash sessions,much more Johnny on it and its all Bob & Johnny acoustic laughing and forgeting/making up lyrics as the go at times during the songs.

questcequecest? Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 The American Recordings I-IV are must haves really. These are what PalacePrincess was referring to, i think. I only have v.III, but its great. I dont know if its the quintessential cash, but fun nonetheless. Some covers, some originals... Yes, i was working yesterday. Good day, i earned $100, a VCR, a CD binder, a coffee warmer, a Prince cassette, and a book about the prodigy (good firestarter ). heh Edit: I also really like the Johnny Cash/Willie Nelson Storytellers cd...

guigsy Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 i've been wanting to get the "God, Love, Murder" set, but i dont really know anything about it... but i got a good feeling... anyone have it? or have heard it?i have folsom prison, and i think that is definately essential... but i think for a good starter, to get a taste, maybe Classic Cash? its a 20 song compilation.. red and greyish cover. its good.

hamilton Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 i've been wanting to get the "God, Love, Murder" set, but i dont really know anything about it... but i got a good feeling... anyone have it? or have heard it? Yeah, I've got that!! It's a triple-CD thematic retrospecive of Cash's career up until about the release of American Recordings; the three themes being love, murder and god (who'duh thunk it?). Lots of great material, hand-picked by the Man himself. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who thinks that they might be interested in Johnny Cash. You can also buy the three discs individually - start with either Love or Murder. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Personally, I loooove the American series, if that is what they are called. I am a big fan of his version of U2's One. Hell, I just love that song to begin with, but his telling is heart-wrenchingly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
