God Bless Johnny Cash

American IV: The Man Comes Around (Johnny Cash): Some really nice arrangements of some familiar songs. Basically a cover album full of the best kinds of covers. Real reinterpretations of songs, not just useless tripe like the Dixie Chicks' completely unnecessary cover of Fleetwood Mac's Landslide. Plus, I'm a sucker for a single cello accompaniment, as in Bridge Over Troubled Water. I'm also a sucker for stunt-casting of killer backup vocals. Fiona Apple sings about three unforgettable lines, also on Bridge. Cash also does a Hank Sr. tune on this album (I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry). As a bumper sticker seen in Midland, TX said: God Bless Johnny Cash.
