Our Take

Artists may come and go, but the Man in Black remains a timeless icon. JOHNNY CASH's posthumous release American 5 - A Hundred Highways is a sobering reminder of his unparalleled talent and undeniable legacy.

Opening track "Help Me" sets the tone for the album, with Cash's gravelly vocals cutting through the melancholic instrumentation. His cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Further On (Up The Road)" is a standout moment, showcasing Cash's ability to make any song his own.

Tracks like "God's Gonna Cut You Down" and "I Came to Believe" delve into themes of redemption and mortality, with Cash's raw emotions shining through. The stripped-down production allows his voice to take center stage, reminding listeners of his incredible storytelling abilities.

While American 5 - A Hundred Highways may not be as groundbreaking as some of Cash's earlier work, it serves as a poignant reminder of his enduring influence on the music industry. Cash's presence looms large over each track, a testament to his lasting impact on the world of music.

In conclusion, American 5 - A Hundred Highways is a fitting tribute to a true legend. Cash's voice may have been silenced, but his music will continue to resonate with audiences for generations to come. Raise a glass to the Man in Black, for his music will never die.

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.
