Editorial Review: From the Label: The first ever definitive best of Johnny Cash, covering his whole career over five decades. From modest country beginnings in the mid-'50s to his death in 2003, the Man In Black became a legend. One of those rare artists that transcended his chosen musical genre to be an icon for generations of musicians. This album collects tracks from his early Sun Records days through to his defining era at Columbia Records to his last recordings, the famed and critically acclaimed American Recordings. The packaging features comprehensive sleeve notes and biography from US music writer Rich Kienzle and exclusive photographs from throughout Cash's career. Description: 'The Legend Of Johnny Cash' is a career-spanning collectionof tracks by one of the greatest songwriters of all time. With his distinctive voice and black attire, Cash cast a tallshadow over popular music for over forty years, making someof the finest records of all time in the process, many of which feature on this compilation. Includes the tracks 'Ring Of Fire', 'I Walk The Line' and 'Hurt'. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - True LegendThis is a great intro to new fans of Johnny Cash, a true icon whose music covered several generations. When I first played it and the trumpets of Ring of Fire came on I wandered if I'd done the right thing ! The early tracks are pure 50s country, a complete contrast to the later U2/Depeche Mode covers/corroborations. There's something for everyone here but don't just buy it for the later stuff. Cash has an amazing deep and warm voice, full of charisma and soul. It would have almost been worth being banged up in the notorious San Quentin to have seen him play live there. One of rock and roll's original bad boys, he lived his life and sang as he saw it. For me and probably other non die-hard country fans, ...

Needless to say, it came home with me about a week later, and has been in my car ever since. There's something about johnny Cash that is totally mesmerising, & i'm even more hooked since watching walk the line, which is one of my favourite films. This deserves a place in every CD collection. Rating: - Top rateIf you can only afford one CD from the Man in Black, get this one. All the classics from the great man. Superb. Rating:  - fine stuff By sean paul mccann "mccanns23" (ireland) - See all my reviews Johnny cash is a music icon,not just a country music icon but a fully fledged music icon,his fame is hard to measure but he wouldnt be that far behind elvis ,after all they are from the same era,and while elvis passed away early,cash racked up nearly 50 years of success before he gave way to death in 2003,and this is a testament of his work,21 tracks spanning his career and all i may ever need of the mans work,that isnt meant to be a sign of disrespect,i just accept that this is the best of his work, and as i am not a c ountry fan ,i will leave it at this more than likely but what a collection. Cash was a songwriter that loved telling a story,along ...

Johnny Cash's deep tones and narrative lyrics make this an album that I can't put down; truly brilliant! |
