Johnny Cash - American Outtakes Part 1

You know, this is almost as good as some of the official American Recordings, its stripped down as far as you can, only Johnny and his guitar. The sound is good(only some tapehiss), the tracklist is good, and his voice is still strong. Most of the covers "makes sense", not like on some of the rather strange choices on the later records. I think the recording is from 93 or 94, based on the songs and his voice. Also, Im pretty sure its Rick Rubin holding the mic. Its a bit confusing, since its two Cash boots with the same name, American Outtakes, but thats life, I will post the other one later, and that one is maybe the best of the two.

  2. cd is the easiest and offers the best quality rip, so cd it is....
    both boots are good, so its matter of taste, i say, collect 'em all!
