Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Ride This Train, the iconic album from the man in black himself, Johnny Cash. This record, released back in 1960, takes listeners on a musical journey through the heart of America, with Cash's signature baritone guiding us along the way.
From the opening track, "Loading Coal," we are immediately transported to the world of trains, coal mines, and the rugged frontier. Cash's storytelling prowess shines through on every song, painting vivid pictures of a bygone era with his gravelly vocals and emotive delivery.
Tracks like "The Shifting, Whispering Sands" and "City of New Orleans" showcase Cash's ability to capture the essence of American life, from the dusty plains to the bustling city streets. It's no wonder why this album has stood the test of time, remaining a classic in the country music canon.
But it's not all serious business on Ride This Train. Cash's cheeky sense of humour shines through on tracks like "Slow Rider" and "The Fable of Willie Brown," adding a playful touch to an otherwise introspective album.
Overall, Ride This Train is a must-listen for any Johnny Cash fan or lover of Americana music. So hop on board, buckle up, and enjoy the ride with the man in black as your guide. All aboard!

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.
