The first song "The Greatest Cowboy Of Them All" begins with a hint of Bonanza guitar run, later the voice of his sister Anita Carter hovers over the song, all narrowly before kitsch and very well done. "I`m an Easy Rider" and the new recording of "Hey Porter" are two modern rockabilly firecrackers announce the one or the other song of "Unchained". "Beans for Breakfast" is very amusing "I couldn`t hear you for the TV ..." "Going by the Book", his last Chartsong (place 70) is bluesy-rock and, therefore, one of the highlights of the disc. "Wanted Man", which I greatly appreciated the Bob Dylan 1969 cash was (until today there is no recording of Dylan) is weaker than on "Johnny Cash At St. Quentin," but - because I disagree with my Vorrezensenten - no failure ,
"I`ll Go Somewhere And Sing My Songs Again", a duet with Tom T. Hall was a reference to his record company that no one can take the Rambling & Singing him. After this plate Cash was first because without a record deal, but was there more relieved, because he had to listen to no longer talk about the market, the right face etc. The title song is a beautiful ballad Country in traditional style with modern 90's sound, while miles away from CountrypolitanCountryPop a Garth Brooks. Eben Real County Music! This is also true for "The Hobo Song" and the fifth composition "Angel And The Badman".
As a bonus track is obtained on the 2003 version still collaborating with U2 for their '93 album "Zooropa". The text seems good for cash fit and the music sounds like electro-Country 90. The years at Mercury apply, as the past few years at Columbia, with respect to Cash's entire output as a black hole. "The Mystery of Life" however, is a good record, and can keep in my opinion the best discs of cash, contemporary Country (based on 90), the time but wanted to hear a few people. Cash is in this album full of energy and wit. Thanks be to God, that two years later Rick Rubin knocked in cash, the rest is history ...
