Our Take

Ah, Johnny Cash, the man in black himself, with another installment in his American series. American 3 - Solitary Man sees Cash covering a range of songs, from U2 to Tom Petty, with his signature gravelly voice and effortlessly cool style.

The album opens with a haunting rendition of "I Won't Back Down," where Cash's deep vocals give new life to Petty's classic hit. From there, he takes us on a journey through loneliness and isolation, as he croons about heartache and lost love in tracks like "One" and "Mercy Seat."

But don't let the somber themes fool you, Cash injects his own brand of wit and charm into songs like "Desperado," where he takes on the persona of the outlaw with a twinkle in his eye. And the stripped-back arrangements allow Cash's voice to truly shine, showcasing the depth and emotion in every lyric.

Overall, American 3 - Solitary Man is a testament to Cash's enduring talent and ability to make even the most heartbreaking songs sound uplifting. It's a must-listen for any fan of the man in black and a reminder of why Cash will always be a musical legend. So, put on your best black outfit, grab a strong drink, and let Johnny Cash's music wash over you like a warm embrace from an old friend.

About the artist

Johnny Cash

The Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash, was truly larger than life. With a deep timbre in his voice and an outlaw attitude to match, Cash revolutionized the country music scene with his raw and emotive storytelling. Born in Arkansas in 1932, Cash's early years were marked by poverty and hardship. But it was these struggles that fuelled his music, giving it an authenticity and grit that set him apart from his contemporaries. Cash burst onto the music scene in the 1950s with hits like "I Walk the Line" and "Folsom Prison Blues," capturing the hearts of fans with his rebellious spirit and no-nonsense approach to songwriting. His iconic all-black attire and sneering, devil-may-care attitude made him a legend in his own time. But Cash's life was not without its demons. His battles with addiction and personal struggles were well-documented, adding a layer of depth to his music that few could match. Through it all, Cash remained a towering figure in the world of country music, his legacy enduring long after his passing in 2003. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the world of country music, Johnny Cash's discography is a must-listen for any music aficionado. So grab a coffee (or something a little stronger) and settle in for a wild ride through the life and music of one of the greatest artists of all time. The Man in Black never goes out of style.
