Rating:  - Some Forgotten Gems
Among Cashophiles there's no little debate over the quality of his recordings for Mercury/Polygram, the label he turned to after his long stint with Columbia Records. Some detect a falling-off during this period, and perhaps there was: Once hit the peaks of Cash at Folsom and At San Quentin, and then where do you go? Still, Cash kept recording, expanding in difrerent directions, revisiting old songs with new takes. And subpar Cash--if this be--is superior to most of whatever else is available, even ... Read More
Rating:  - "Too many nights of not being together....then he died."
A friend recently offered me a Cash album someone gave him that had been laying around for several years.Lo and Behold it had never been opened.I didn't recall seeing it and when I looked at the songs on the back,most were not familar to me.This album was published in 1987 by PolyGram after Cash had left Columbia and was in a hiatus of his popularity,and before he teamed up with Rubin when it took off again.I have to admit,as much as I've followed Cash there were only two songs here that were familar;the ...

Rating:  - The Records before the American Recordings
If you're curious as to what Johnny Cash did between Columbia Records dropping him in 1986, and hooking up with Rick Rubin in 1994, then this two-fer of albums released in 1987 and 1989 will satisfy you. Although, Coming To Town got the most attention, I've always been partial to the latter, with its Sun Rockabilly sound. These aren't essential releases for Cash newbies. But for die-hards they're a good addition to your Cash library.
Rating: - Monteagle Mountain
I loved the album and the music is so real sounding with out all the studio garb in the music tracks. You can here the words and feel the story. I've been on Monteagle Mountain and That is a real Trucker song if ever there was one! I first heard this on the radio and was so glad to find that the album is that good with all the other songs.
Rating: - A great Johnny Cash twofer
This CD reissues two lesser-known Johnny Cash albums, both from an era when his work wasn't given much respect. Still, anyone who gives this disc a spin will probably be pleasantly surprised.
"JOHNNY CASH IS COMING TO TOWN" (1987): Anybody wowed and mystified by Johnny Cash's "big change" in the 1990s, when he started covering edgy rock tunes must notta been paying attention during the '60s when he avidly championed Bob Dylan... Or here, when he tackled Elvis Costello's "Big Light." He also includes ... Read More
