The American Recording are amazing. I've never been really in to Cash, but I'm in awe of the power of those last albums.

Well those are very common I was thinking past those.

But yes those are also good
Also like the MTV unplugged with Willy nelson / Cash .

The words of :
Mercy Seat,
Hung My Heart,
Hurt,


just cut into you.

All those are good, I just didn't like his Personal Jesus....I feel like maybe he was too old when he recorded it and I can hear the feebleness in his voice, almost struggling to keep up with the tune. Didn't work for me.
His cover of Hurt was genius.

And this is the reason why Johnny Carson didn't choose Dave as the next host after him. Dave tries to turn everything into a joke.
