Disco de Johnny Cash: “20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Johnny Cash”

Johnny Cash has been recording since 1955. The majority of this disc contains rerecordings done in the late 80's. The problem with this disc is it's nearly full of remakes from the Sun and Columbia years. Cash put out some good original material from the "Mercury" era that should have been on this disc. At least they put "The night Hank Williams came to town" on here. I would look for only the original recordings and not buy this one.

An excellently produced collection of 12 great Cash songs.Not neccessarily his greatest hits,but a nice collection of songs we have all come to love over Cash's long career.Johnny had lots of highs and lows during his life and the one thing that cannot be disputed is that he never gave up .This collection was released in 2002 ,the year Johnny celebrated his 70th Birthday on February,26th.If you already have many of Cash's albums,you'll probably have most ,if not all these songs.However;if you are looking to find a collection that gives the essence of what Johnny Cash's music was about,an a brief booklet about his recording career;this would be an excellent choice.

This album should be in every Cash fan's collection. Although Johnny's earlier recordings are more famous, the Mercury recordings have a tempo and an energy that the earlier recordings lack.

This CD is not for the weekened Cash fan. Those who want 'Ring of Fire'and 'Boy Named Sue' can buy greatest hits CD's. The songs selected on this CD are more of Cash's cornerstone recordings expressing his true voice in music. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy songs like 'Ring of Fire' but the selections on the Masters collection are for the ones who want to experience the real Cash.
