Johnny Cash, the country legend has undergone difficult times. Illness, drug and alcohol addiction, loneliness. Just so it is all the more surprising as he auftrumpft again with "Unchained" and its predecessor, "American Recordings". He has become immortal with old classics like "Ring of Fire" and "Folsom Prison Blues". But these look pale against blast as "Rusty Cage", "Mean-Eyed Cat" or "Country Boy"! Cash evident cosmopolitan and collaborates with guest musicians from all genres, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Tom Petty. The result is a great album that delivers a cross section of all genres of music, which can be subsumed under the genre "Country". Fast rockabilly songs alternate with melancholic ballads. Johnny Cash is on this album is better than ever! (This is an Amazon.com at the university-student review.)
