So Urbanaspirines have done it again and posted a doozie of a selection as the do with this of the American master Johnny Cash and the very specific recordings centred around his 'American' recordings



Johnny Cash - The American Recordings I-V - Urbanaspirines

Johnny Cash was one of the most imposing and influential figures in post-World War II country music.With his deep, resonant baritone and spare percussive guitar, he had a basic, distinctive sound. Cash didn't sound like Nashville, nor did he sound like honky tonk or rock & roll. He created his own subgenre, falling halfway between the blunt emotional honesty of folk, the rebelliousness of rock & roll, and the world-weariness of country.

Oh that is so true Rocket! I was astonished when they began to work together and thought it was the strangest match but how wrong is it possible to be?! 'Hurt' blew me away and still does. Thanks for dropping by Rocket Man!
