Customer Reviews

The legacy of an American Artist !
The great Johny Cash left us many country classics. On this double cd, you will find many of his most important songs, such like Ring of Fire, Orange Blossom Special, I walk the line and A Boy named Sue, plus a few not so famous songs but of imense value, like U2's The Wanderer.
The voice of The Man in Black is the voice of America. Toguether with Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, Johny Cash embodies the american spirit and sublimates it throug his songs, just listen to his definite interpretation of Ghost Riders in the Sky !!!

legend
I'm not fan of country music, but Johnny Cash isn't your average country singer. . . he incorporates everything music should be.

As a total metal fan, I never in a million years expected myself to buy country albums. But there I was in HMV one day and I Walk The Line came over the speakers. I know instantly that is was Johnny's singing because my mum was a fan. I abandoned the metal section and picked up the CD which I am now reviewing. It's interesting the amount of metal icons who cite Mr Cash as their inspiration and idol. Metallica's James Hatfield and Slipknot's Shawn Crahan are two mentioned on the inside cover of the CD booklet. I can see why they love him.

Johnny's voice is cool and calm. He is the only singer I listen to who can be tough yet gentle at the same time. Here is a man that judging only by the sound of his voice you'd know not to mess with, yet his lyrics show a man with a genuine heart. This album had classics like I Walk The Line, Don't Take Your Guns To Town, Ring Of Fire, One Piece At A Time and Man In Black.

The songs are so simple yet genius. In 50 years time people will still be listening to Johnny's music and it will still sound as fresh as it does now. That's more than cane be said about bands these days who poke fun at country music yet can't write their own songs.

Respect, Johnny, you're a legend. Folks, buy this album. If there was ever money well spent it's on this CD.

Classic Cash combining modern legends
The Classic unmistakeable voice of Johnny Cash is compiled in this complete selection of his music, combined with the music of Rock legends such as U2. All the great songs you know and the ones you probably don't, but wonder why the hell you didn't. A must have. Generations down the line the old San Quentin crooner strumms a cord for all. Classic, classic Cash!
