American IV: The Man Comes Around
Johnny Cash
As stated many times before, I’m not a country music lover.
Is this even “country” music? – Cash covers pop and traditional songs in his own inimitable way.
A co-worker told me about this CD.
She lent same to me.
I ripped/copied same.
And then I purchased same – giving back. This is good – BRILLIANT – music.
To me.
I dunno. My musical taste seems all over the board.
I like classical.
I like blues.
Not a big fan of jazz.
Not a big fan of rap.
Not a big fan of country/country and western – yet a lot of what is interesting to me lately/recently is, I guess, sorta country based.
OK, I’m getting old.
Am I also getting to be a redneck?
Johnny Cash has a distinct voice that – sadly – I’m just “getting” today.
*sigh*
Yet I welcome the “country” infusion, most of which I’ve discovered over the last half-dozen years or so.
Strange. Weird.
Nice.
