 The version of Hurt (NIN original) on this album is worth the cost of buying it alone. The emotion in Johnny Cash's voice on this song makes it superior to the original.

 Before getting 'in to Johnny' or becoming a fan of his music; there is an important fact I think everyone should know: this man does not possess the means to really communicate real feelings. Not in the conventional sense at least. Words become hollow. He can easily get frustrated when he has to explain. But hand this man a guitar, give him a moment to think... and he will not only tell you how he feels; he will make you feel that way too. That is Johnny Cash. This album was his death rattle. His last breath. The album following: his memorial. You should understand this, at the very least, before you listen to it.

Description

UK special edition reissue of The Man In Black's brilliant 2002 album includes two bonus tracks, 'Big Iron' (previously vinyl only) & 'Hurt' (video). American Recordings. 2003. On first thought, the idea of the Man in Black recording such covers as "Bridge over Troubled Water," "Danny Boy," and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" might seem odd, even for an artist who's been able to put his personal stamp on just about everything. But American IV: The Man Comes Around, which also draws on Cash's original songs as well as those by Nine Inch Nails ("Hurt"), Sting ("I Hung My Head"), and Depeche Mode ("Personal Jesus"), may be one of the most autobiographical albums of the 70-year-old singer-songwriter's career. Nearly every tune seems chosen to afford the ailing giant of popular music a chance to reflect on his life, and look ahead to what's around the corner. From the opening track--Cash's own "The Man Comes Around," filled with frightening images of Armageddon--the album, produced by Rick Rubin, advances a quiet power and pathos, built around spare arrangements and unflinching honesty in performance and subject. In 15 songs, Cash moves through dark, haunted meditations on death and destruction, poignant farewells, testaments to everlasting love, and hopeful salutes to redemption. He sounds as if he means every word, his baritone-bass, frequently frayed and ravaged, taking on a weary beauty. By the time he gets to the Beatles' "In My Life," you'll very nearly cry. Go ahead. He sounds as if he's about to, too. Unforgettable. --Alanna Nash
