Johnny Cash – American Recordings (CD)
Product Details
Released in 1994 and recorded largely at Rubin's Hollywood home with just Cash and an acoustic guitar, American Recordings stripped away decades of Nashville production gloss to reveal something elemental. The album introduced Cash to a generation raised on alternative rock while reminding everyone else why his voice had always carried the weight of something ancient and unshakeable.
Out of print in the U.S.! Johnny Cash had already recorded some of the most important Country albums in the history of the genre, yet, although he was still making quality music throughout the '80s, record sales and label support were the lowest he'd ever experienced in his entire career. By the early '90s, he was without a label for the first time in four decades. Longtime fan, label owner and producer Rick Rubin stepped in, asked Johnny to return to his roots and together, they re-created the legend of the Man in Black. Features Cash performing his own compositions as well as songs from Loudon Wainwright, Leonard Cohen, Nick Lowe, Tom Waits and Glenn Danzig. American Recordings earned Johnny a 1995 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. A stunning return to form. Warner.
