Another masterpiece. Hopefully not the last.

The 3.Werk cooperation of Johnny Cash with Rick Rubin's definitely now a piece of American music history. Drawn from its audible severe Parkinson's disease, Johnny Cash presents 14 great songs. Own and interpretations of Tom Petty's "Will not Back Down", U2's "One" or Nick Cave's "The Mercy Seat". It is the only show in the sparse instrumentation, cleared from the musical ballast what it is actually for pearls. The impressive and at the same time deeply sad at the plate is that it sounds at times as if cash received his own Requiem This man exudes still a deep power;.. but now you can feel the first time that his own mortality he has become really aware of the may sound a silly criticism, but it's not quite on the contrary, it is infinitely touching and one wishes that this man will be 100 years old Even his incredibly deep voice breaks for the first time a sometimes almost fragile -.. making him only makes better he himself writes in the liner notes. "... Thanks to Rick for continuing to believe in me I do not sound as good to me as he says I do, but I thank him anyway ....." Needless to say that the production of the disc corresponds at most standards. I hope there will still be a part IV of the American Recordings series. Another quote from the liner notes, that hope does: "... This album has been a long time coming, and I feel another in there somewhere."
