Untitled publication

A strictly American project, the goal of which was the setting of previously unknown poems by country music legend Johnny Cash. This year marks exactly 15 years since the death of the great musician. The record was produced, as is fitting, by Cash's son - John Carter Cash, who took up the baton of bringing his father's legacy to life from Rick Rubin. From the very first notes, the incredible atmosphere of the recording commands attention. You can immerse yourself in the mood just as you could on Cash's own recordings, starting from 1994, called American recordings and those following them. Since this is not a collection of covers, but a full-fledged album performed by different musicians to Johnny's poems, it sounds exactly like an album - cohesive and full. At the same time, the music is full of ideas, as enough performers gathered - each track was created by a new collective. You can highlight practically every song, like on the best Cash records à la Unchained: To June this morning with tear-jerking chords performed by Ruston Kelly and Kacey Musgraves; the deep You never knew my mind from the late Chris Cornell; Captain's daughter from Alison Krauss and the group Union station with atmospheric Wild West guitar; Jellico coal man with the sound of Unchained and vocals by T Bone Burnett; the out-and-out blues-rock hit The walking wounded from the eldest daughter Rosanne; Them double blues, which relieves the atmosphere, from John Mellencamp; Body on body, where Jewel kicks up romantic dust; the magnificent ballad June's sundown from Carlene Carter; the delightful fun Dailey and Vincent bring to He bored it all; Chinky pin hill from I'm with her, which would fit perfectly as a soundtrack for the movie "Django Unchained"; modern gospel in Goin', goin', goin' from Robert Glasper; and sad notes in Spirit rider, which closes the record, by Jamey Johnson. Cash's spirit gave an incredible charge of inspiration to all the performers on this disc, who created the best country album of recent years. Never before had Johnny's moods and melody been conveyed so perfectly.
