By Tony - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: American Iv Man Comes Around (Audio CD)
I have never reveiwed an album before but when I saw that this album did not have any reviews on it I had to add one.This album is amazing and contains some of the most heartfelt music you will ever hear. Hurt and Personal Jesus are both wonderful. The story based songs and his wonderful voice make this an album I go back to time and time again.
Love it.

The Cash Album to Own, Oct 5 2011
By gnagfloW - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: American Iv Man Comes Around (Audio CD)
I own all the Johnny Cash American Recordings and have listened a great deal to them all. All 6 albums are good, although my least favorites are the first and fifth ones. Of the whole lot, still, this is the one to take to a desert island.A Man Comes Around is recorded at a time Cash's health is getting worse. One senses the urgency in delivering the tunes and yet having the strength and power to fulfill such a mission. As on Unchained and Solitary Man, Cash took many cover songs and made them his own. Cases in point are songs like U2's One and Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down. On this album Cash really pushed the envelope, taking even very well known classics and making them, for those who hear them, in a sense his own.
The power is evident on the opening title track in which Cash melds together quotations from the bible forming a coherent song about the approaching hand of death; he obviously means business. The following track, Hurt, is, of all things, a Nine Inch Nails cover in which Cash changed the lyrics slightly. The vocal in the song makes it so poignant that the original songwriter has admitted (in a complementary way) that Cash basically stole it from him and made it his own. What follows are mostly eclectic covers done in a tender and yet forceful manner. There is not a single weak tune on it, no need for a remote control for this one. The scaled down version of Bridge Over Troubled Water is worth paying special note to, the text comes much more to life as opposed to the more produced version done by Simon & Garfunkel.
This album is among only a handful of albums released during the last 20 years I rate, from start to finish, as being close to perfection. If you want something more than a Johnny Cash compilation, this is the one to pick

Excellent, Oct 9 2011
By PuceEmu "PuceEmu" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: American Iv Man Comes Around (Audio CD)
This CD is wonderful. So heartfelt. If your kids are into today's music, this would be a good transition CD to give them a taste of OLD country- introducing them in a "cool" way to Johnny Cash and maybe influencing their taste of music. The real reason I wrote this review is because it needs LOTS more 5 star reviews and that one 1 star review is totally bunk.
Listmania!
