Johnny Cash Unchained

If you haven't heard Johnny Cash "Unchained," you're missing something singular. It's part of the American Recordings discs, and if you don't have it, finish reading this blog, rush out and get it. Not a bad track to be found. Especially cool is the now-come-to-fruition completion of "Mean Eyed Cat," that never really was really finished, according to Cash. It needed something, he said, and after it had hung around for about forty years, he completed it. Wow.

I totally agree! Fantastic album. I've enjoyed reading what you've been listening to. I've been on a bit of a musical journey myself, but I've been mining the 80's - my formative decade. And to clarify, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Smiths, Joy Division - not Wang Chung thank you.

All the best!> Brian (i.e. Bob Holt's eldest)
