Johnny Cash - Man in Black: 1963-1969 CD

Man in Black: 1963-1969 songs Want to hear part of the reason why Johnny Cash is an icon, a singer respected and influential in country, folk, and rock & roll? THIS is it! In 1968--one of the most tumultuous years in American history since the Depression years--Cash recorded an album live in front of a (literally) captive (but wildly appreciative) audience, in Folsom Prison. With two guitars, bass, drums, and a small vocal group (including Cash's wife June Carter Cash and the Statler Brothers), Cash sings his hits and lesser-known songs ("Send a Picture of Mother") and some haunting country standards ("Dark as a Dungeon"), as well as songs about REAL outlaws ("Cocaine Blues") to a rapt audience that hangs on every word. That boom-chicka-boom sound is sharp as the first mean wind of winter, and Cash is in fine fettle (though his voice cracks from time to time). With its unique setting, this is as harrowing an album as any ever recorded. Additional Tracks Liner Note Author: Johnny Cash. Recording information: Folsom Prison (01/13/1968).

Man in Black: 1963-1969 CD music After starting off the '80s on the wrong foot because of personnel defections, changing music trends, and various personal and business problems, the original Aerosmith line-up reunited for 1985's DONE WITH MIRRORS. Produced by Van Halen/Montrose knob-twirler Ted Templeman, MIRRORS is a bare-bones Aerosmith record that was last the band recorded without the benefit of outside songwriters. The results range from the rhythmically slinky "Shela" to the funky boogie of "The Hop." Elsewhere, songs such as the hard-hitting "My Fist Your Face" and the slide guitar-drenched "She's on Fire" show the band was able to shake the rust off after almost six years apart. The truest sign that the spark of classic Aerosmith still burned deep is a cover of "Let the Music Do the Talking." Originally recorded by the Joe Perry Project, this interpretation is a runaway train of pounding rhythms, screaming guitars, and Steven Tyler's fiery harp blowing and a jive-talking delivery. Recorded at Fantasy Recording, Berkley, California; Can-Am Recorders, Tarzana, California; The Power Station, New York, New York. Personnel: Steven Tyler (vocals, harmonica, piano); Joe Perry (guitar, background vocals); Brad Whitford (guitar); Joey Kramer (drums). Audio Mixer: Jeff Hendrickson.

Man in Black: 1963-1969 buy CD music This criminally underrated 1980 album came during what's mistakenly regarded as a fallow period in Cash's recording career. The idea was to make a record that would bring Cash back to his rockabilly roots. That's not exactly what happened--there's hardly any real rockabilly on this album--but the results are impressive nonetheless. The hard-hitting, stripped-down sound does recall the lean, mean Cash of days long past, and the material rivals anything from his '70s or late-'70s catalog. Things open with a kick on "Cold, Lonesome Morning," an unflinchingly realistic account of a failing romance, full of the hard-bitten fatalism that made songs like "Folsom Prison" so successful. A winning take on Nick Lowe's gem "Without Love" features the Attractions' Pete Thomas on drums, and fits perfectly into the sonic scheme. Quirky, memorable tunes by Kris Kristofferson and Billy Joe Shaver crop up as well, performed with characteristic precision and aplomb. 1st Time On CD;1980 Recorded at Quadrafonic Studio, JMI Recording Studio, Nashville, Tennessee and U.K. Pro Studio, London, England.

Man in Black: 1963-1969 album for sale COME ALONG AND RIDE THIS TRAIN contains tracks from several of Johnny Cash's theme LPs, including BLOOD SWEAT & TEARS, BITTER TEARS, BALLADS OF THE TRUE WEST, FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA, AMERICA, THE RAMBLER and RIDE THIS TRAIN. Includes original release liner notes by Johnny Cash, Tex Ritter, Merle Travis, and Charles Wolfe, as well as reissue liner notes by Bob Allen. During the 1960s and 1970s, Johnny Cash recorded a number of albums organized around a specific theme in American culture and history. The songs on these albums generally straddle the genres of country and folk music, employing both the direct simplicity of country and the focus on "big issues" characteristic of 1960s folk music. Musically these albums employ a similar blend of folk and country influences. COME ALONG AND RIDE THIS TRAIN collects eight of these albums in a four-disc box set, complete with a handsomely bound, thoroughly researched 32-page booklet. Among the albums are BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS, Cash's tribute to the working class; MEAN AS HELL and SONGS OF THE OLD WEST, both collections of cowboy songs; AMERICA, which attempts to recapitulate all of American history in 40 minutes; and BITTER TEARS, about the injustices suffered by American Indians. Nearly all these records are strung together by Cash's narrations, which, while pretty corny, effectively showcase the singer's acting talents. Although these albums contain relatively few hits, they are by no means lesser efforts: Cash clearly cared for these projects, and his commitment comes through in every note he sings. Johnny Cash was one of the first to explore the idea of the concept album in country music. This set brings together all of his uniquely American albums, "Ride This Train", "Blood Sweat & Tears", "Mean As Hell", "Ballads Of The True West", "Bitter Tears", "America: A 200 Year Salute", "From Sea To Shining Sea" and "The Rambler". Bob Allen writes, "This collection eloquently embodies one man's love, celebration, curiosity, anguish, and personal vision of his native land." 4CD, LP size box set with a 20 page book. Personnel includes: Johnny Cash (vocals, guitar); Anita Carter, Lorne Greene, the Statler Brothers. Producers: Don Law, Frank Jones, Larry Butler, Charlie Bragg, Jack Routh. Reissue producer: Richard Weize.

Man in Black: 1963-1969 CD music The completist's friend, Bear Family Records, has released a number of Johnny Cash box sets, covering each phase of his career in painstaking detail. But for hardcore Cash fans, this one, which documents his earliest records (including everything he did for Sun Records) is the motherlode. Over the course of five discs, you get both Cash classics ("Hey Porter," "Folsom Prison Blues," etc.) and wonderful obscurities (the randy "Straight A's In Love," the Heartbreak Hotel cousin "Home of the Blues.") Cash developed a unique sound on his early Sun recordings with the Tennessee Two. His unusually deep, resolutely undecorous voice rides atop the boom-chik guitar style invented by Cash's right-hand man Luther Perkins and a rockabilly-ish slap bass. Cash provided the percussion by placing a sheet of paper under his strings and strumming purely for rhythm's sake. Naturally, this stark approach changes somewhat as we move chronologically through this set, but Cash's vision remains undiminished. For collectors, the previously unreleased cuts and outtakes (not to mention the exhaustively annotated booklet) will be a welcome bonus. 5 CDs in an LP sized box. Five CDs in an LP size box set with a 36 page book.
