Product Description
From Amazon.com
The legend of Johnny Cash has loomed even larger since his death, though this 20-cut anthology appears designed more to capitalize on that legend than enhance it. While it chronologically spans nearly half a century, the scattershot selection seems almost arbitrary: a few hits (though none of the biggest), a few lesser-known album cuts (though not necessarily his best), and a better sampling of the career-reviving recordings he made with producer Rick Rubin that reestablished him as an alt-rock icon. Among the highlights are the irresistibly cheesy "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" from his early Sun Records days, the socially conscious "Ballad of Ira Hayes" (the Marine whose story is told so movingly in Flags of Our Fathers), and a live, fully orchestrated rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on a Wire." This might fill a gap for those who want to go deeper into the Cash legacy than a greatest-hits collection but aren't ready to splurge on a definitive box set. --Don McLeese

More Great Music From The Man In Black,

Ce commentaire est de: The Legend Of Johnny Cash: 1956-2003 Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
As expected, the sequel to 2005's Legend of Johnny Cash arrives with music perhaps not as recognizable but equally great. The format pretty much follows the first cd, with songs included from each decade of Cash's recording career, and it's interesting to hear how well an early song like There You Go sits alongside a later one like I Won't Back Down. If you're a casual fan and purchased the first cd this is the next logical choice, but by no means should it be your last JC cd. Brilliant music for your collection.

Well selected career-spanning single disc,
By hyperbolium - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Legend Of Johnny Cash: 1956-2003 Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
This 20-track collection is a good follow-up to last year's volume one. Both offer up seminal Cash sides, from his early days at Sun through his golden years at Columbia, his stay at Mercury in the '80s and his career capping sides for American. Both volumes also sandwich themselves in the narrow space between single-disc hit collections and deeper anthologies like 1992 and 2002's "Essential" titles, 2000's thematic "Love, God, Murder," 2005's 4-disc "The Legend," or Bear Family's oppressive triple-shot of box sets.Both single-disc "Legend" volumes sample from the entire length of Cash's career, which means that they necessarily short-change any one phase, and leave out some seminal album releases. What you get instead is a sketch - rather than a full-color picture - of Cash's artistic arc, from slap-back echo at Sun through his righteous songs of the man in black, and finishing with stark, folk-styled renditions recorded with Rick Rubin for the American label. Cash's fans may find this selection of tracks to be scattershot, duplicative of discs they already own, or unrepresentative of their particular favorites. But fans with deep Cash collections aren't the audience for this release. Instead, the songs have been selected and sequenced to make a compelling spin for new converts, those inspired by Cash's passing and subsequent biopic. And for these new fans, the Legend discs provide a good introduction to Cash's vast catalog that provides a bird's eye view from which to zoom in on specific eras or styles.

Does it get better than this?,

Ce commentaire est de: The Legend Of Johnny Cash: 1956-2003 Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
The fans of Johnny Cash that have not picked up this CD are really missing the boat. No it didn't get the hype that the Volume 1 got for sure, but it is equally amazing if not better. Tracks like That Old Wheel jump out as VINTAGE Cash. Also the pain and beauty of the Rick Rubin productions just shine on this CD.Even if you arent a Cash fan...I can't imagine not 'getting' what this CD is saying...it is brilliant! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

I absolutely love this collection, it has "Bird on a Wire" on it which is such a deep, meaningful song and he sings it with his soul.... also features duets with Hank Williams Jr. and Waylon Jennings. Another one of my favorites on this cd is "That Old Wheel" and "Daddy Sang Bass". He also does his own version of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down" which is really nice to listen to. Overall anyone who loves Cash or just wants some great country music to add to their collection will fall in love with this cd!!
