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.

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.
