JOHNNY CASH American VI: Ain't No Grave (2010 US-pressed UK
edition 10-track vinyl LP - The sixth and final installment of Johnny
Cash's critically-acclaimed American Recordings album series, 'Ain't
No Grave' was produced by Rick Rubin and is deeply elegiac and
spiritual, with each song its own piece of the puzzle of life's mysteries
and challenges - the pursuit of salvation, the importance of
friendships, the dream of peace, the power of faith, and the joys and
adversities that entail simple survival. It is an achingly personal and
intimate statement, as, from the end of the line, Johnny looks back on
a most extraordinary life. The songs on American VI are drawn from
all over the musical landscape and from various eras, including Sheryl
Crow's moving 'Redemption Day', close Cash friend Kris
Kristofferson's 'For The Good Times', 'Can't Help But Wonder Where
I'm Bound' by Tom Paxton, Bob Nolan's 'Cool Water', the hopeful 'Last
Night I had the Strangest Dream' by Ed McCurdy, J.H. Red Hayes and
Jack Rhodes's 'Satisfied Mind', Queen Lili'uokalani's song of farewell,
'Aloha Oe', and the never before heard Cash original, 'I Corinthians:
15:55', written over the last three years of his life. Presented in a
sealed picture sleeve)
