Johnny Cash American IV: The Man Comes Around


Johnny Cash's The Man Comes Around is the final album by legendary Johnny Cash and he went out with quite a bang. This album says something to our generation that will never be forgotten. The Man In Black is still The Man In Black. Cash only wrote one song for this album and that's the title track. In fact, only three songs on this album were written by Cash, the rest are cover songs done only the way he could to them. Covering some great songs from a completely new generation, he makes the statement that if you're good, you're good. If you're good enough, your music will move through the generations smoothly instead of fading away like so many others. The title song on this album is probably my favorite but this album is good all the way through. Pick it up.
