Now, to be noted, some of these songs are remakes. That's not a curse, until you are an originals purist. You know that. Give a listen to a few samples and see how they pan out. They work for me. I hope you'll like them too.

This isn't the last word on Johnny. It is a good CD to play in your truck on the way to town, or to [turn] up in the rec room while playing a bit of pool. "Boy Named Sue" and other aren't on this one. None of his gospel stuff either, but those can be found on other albums.

I fully recommend "Classic Cash" by Johnny Cash. Buy it, listen to it, enjoy it, and remember, don't bring your guns to town.

As far as re-make records go... this is the best. These are excellent songs given a new lease on life in this great collection. They all stand on their own apart from the originals that they are not intended to replace... but rather compliment. A great record!

One day I wanted to get a greatest hits collection of this guy called Johnny Cash. I bought this CD. Thank god I knew there had to be something better out there. Some good stuff here, but there are better versions of these classic songs. Go find them.
