About This Item
Out of print in the U.S.! Johnny Cash had already recorded some of the most important Country albums in the history of the genre, yet, although he was still making quality music throughout the '80s, record sales and tag support were the lowest he'd ever experienced in his entire career. By the early '90s, he was without a tag for the first time in four decades. Longtime fan, tag owner and producer Rick Rubin stepped in, asked Johnny to return to his roots and together, they re-created the legend of the Man in Black. Features Cash performing his own compositions as well as songs from Loudon Wainwright, Leonard Cohen, Nick Lowe, Tom Waits and Glenn Danzig.
