Simply beautiful

The title track opens this album with a rasping preface, which was trimmed in the studio by the closest frequency width on peopleâ sound (see audio.) - Tom Waits says hello. Then the prelude to the song itself: "The Man Comes Around" is a cash composition, one of his best - and that's saying something. The dark piano swab which will signal the 'chorus', cause almost goosebumps.
To cover numbers on the plate: Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" sounds as if one should ever have to play it differently, and Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante-plays the guitar very well à la dm.
Simply beautiful duet "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with Fiona Apple. The piece has been so firmly cemented with Art Garfunkel Schweineterzen in mind that you supported at first hearing: Fiona Apple has the courage to interpret the song again, and succeed in breathtaking duet with the great old man in black. Via the droning organ Kitsch as postmodern Quote now to return to fight ... even though this particular courage to irony frees the song by just the kitsch of the original.
"I Hung My Head", certainly not Sting's strongest number, growing in Cash's fingers at a right adult song - and the eternal young Wild Cave to almost adult singers, if the Hank Williams classic "So Lonesome I Could Cry it "downright choirboys good mitträllert.
A hymn could sing to each of the songs; but important to stress is the beautiful rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face": When "The Man Comes Around" is an album after you no better can imagine more so takes "The First Time ..." this rank in terms of love songs.
Oh yes: the Extended Version of "The Man Comes Around", the 'only' on vinyl was available so far, there will soon be available on CD.
