Plans
For The Future ( Johnny Cash & Rick Rubin )
Besides the new album, Cash and Rubin
are thinking about putting out a boxed set of “American “ albums plus
a full disc of outtakes. Don’t look, however, for Cash to tour again. He
may do an occasional TV appearance – such as the 1999 concert in which
Dylan, Springsteen, U2’s Bono, Wyclef Jean, lyle Lovett and others paid
tribute to him. But he has no desire to spend weeks on the road, even if
health permitted. “June and I have been on the road so long and we’re
so tired” he said. “It’s time we did some other things we’ve
wanted to do in our lives.” He also wants to devote more time to
songwriting. “I know everyone will say I’ve got to be out my skull,
but I feel like my recording career has just begun,” he said. “You
know my dreams and ambitions after all these years are pretty much the
same as they were qt the beginning. I still just want to make records and
sing on the radio. After I finally go on the radio. I just wanted to make
better records, and that’s still what I want to do.

There's Some Pretty Heavy Songs In
This Album But They're From The Heart And From The Gut, Which Is What Life Is All
About
It
has been told to me, that this photo was taken on the side of the road that
leads from Melbourne to Geelong Austral. The story goes that they were in
the bus going to Geelong, and they though the landscape would make a great
photo - miles from any houses, rolling wind-swept plains etc. They went out,
started to take photo's and these dogs came out to join Johnny. They loved
him and he couldn't get rid of them, so they used them in the photo's.
Johnny Cash
Sometimes the finest pleasures in life are the
basic ones. On American Recordings the latest album from Johnny Cash – a
person whose picture you should carved in any encyclopedia under the heading
American Folk Hero – there are no screaming guitars, no rockabilly
retreads, and no deafening decibels. Instead the legendary 68-year-old man
In Black keeps it simple: It’s just him, his black D-28 Martin acoustic
guitar, and that seasoned, rugged voice. Even in such an unadorned, stark
context, Johnny Cash holds you spellbound. He’s chosen a baker’s dozen
songs that are tales of tradition, turbulence, humility, and humanity, and
his resonant and recognizable quaver suggest both invincibility and
vulnerability in his earthly Arkansas soul. Unlikely producer Rick Rubin,
more familiarly associated with such rockers as “The Red Hot Chili
Peppers” or “The Beastie Boys” proves a sympathetic ally by simply
standing back and letting the tape roll. The result? Cash’s best album in
nearly a quarter century. Recorded, as the liner credits state, in Rick’s
living room and Johnny’s cabin (except for a pair songs recorded at actor
Johnny Depp’s Hollywood nightclub The Viper Room) American starts on a
mischievous note with “Delia’s Gone” a story about a murdered lover
who comes back to haunt him. “Let the Train Blow the Whistle” finds the
Man In Black transformed into The Man On Track for an intriguing narrative,
while his version of the former son-in-law Nick Lowe’s “The Beast In
Me” tells of a weathered man describing his rough edges. Kris
Kristofferson's “Why Me Lord” is sung

Some of My Guitars
In my collection of guitars
, three of them stand out. One is a D-45 custom Martin made in 1982 and signed by CF.
Martin #3 and #4. Another is a D-76, #375 of 1976 made in the bi centennial year. My
favorite is the black D-28, I used on the first album. Martin gave it to me in 1969 and I
was told it was the first black guitar the company made

Rusty Cage Johnny Cash Track from Unchained
Cash, Unchained
Despite the stark brilliance of Johnny
Cash’s solo-acoustic comeback American Recordings, that album’s relatively
narrow focus didn’t do justice to the depth and breadth of Cash’s uniquely
American and deep personal art. That album’s follow-up Unchained ( American ) Four
Star is a bit more representative. With Tom Petty and the heart breakers providing
sensitive and restrain support, Cash covers a variety of bases, from the iconic balladry
of "spiritual" and " I Never Picked Cotton" to the rockabilly swagger
of "I’ve Been Everywhere" and " Country Boy". In between
there’s a reading of Beck’s "Rowboat" that’s no more gimmicky
than Cash’s classic Dylan covers and a sound garden tune, "Rusty Cage" that
he invests with emotional gravity in much the same way he did with, say "Ghost Riders
In the Sky". And if Cash’s voice isn’t the technicl marvel it once was, he
remains a singularly lucid interpreter, cocky enough to tackle unfamiliar material head
on, and confident enough to take a sentimental chestnut like "Memories ar Mad Of
These" at face value.
Johnny Cash’s last two
Album’s has been two of his best, Cash, Unchained. The Unchained Album was Nominated
for a Grammy for best country Album of the year. From the first day when I listened to the
Unchained album I new it was a winner. I want to Congratulate to Johnny Cash & June Carter on this
Grammy WINNER !!! on the Unchained album.. You both have through the years worked very hard, both recordings and working the
road. And I’ve seen all of this for forty year’s through these eye’s of a

Willie And Me
"My manager. Lou Robin said "all
VH-1 wants is two guitars,two stools and you and Willie.
I approach the situation with much
trepidation, for as I walk on the stage, there is a barn full chrome and steel
microphones, amplifiers and about a thousandmiles of wire. The ay=udience is three feet
away boxing us in, but with friendly faces. We pick, yet we know not when we pick. No
planned program swapping songs from out of the back of our heads. Just like a guitar pull
at my house. He looks at me and sees that I am watching him. Now he's watching me. I think
he knows I made a wrong cord. He gets over it. We get into a song that feels good, willie
and me. i watch Willie's hand as he takes a guitar lead. He plows into a note and, the
same time. There is a slight crimace on his face, as if it might hurt just a little bit.
as he pulls the note off, he grites his teeth. I've seen hands like that in the cotton
fields. Rough. Gnarly. Dextrous. Determined Precise, Concise Fascinating, that said. how about Greed Lust, Anger.
Sloth. Gluttony. Envy, Pride. The seven deadly sins. But none of them commited here
tonight, except maybe on my part
