[CRAZY-HORSE]

JOHNNY CASH  "life"  cd 2004

a revisit
the fourth in a run of four albums curated by Cash as to trying to define himself through song and verse.
this one is about "life" as the title suggests, the other three were titled "god", "love" and "murder".
these are basically albums that focus on a particular subject and Cash's own favourite songs in a conceptual form.
this one, Life, starts off with "suppertime" and "country trash" about his childhood and the songs' storylines ebb and weave their way through his complicated life.
through this album layman fans get a bit of a better understanding about the man, where he comes from and what got him to where he was at that given time in his life.
so many great songs on here from his childhood, poverty, personal issues, marriage and patriotism.
this is one of the albums i recommend as a starting point to those who know very little about Cash
album ranks 2.7 for me which means....
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
