Johnny Cash "LIFE" CD



I know there are a few Johnny Cash fans on the site, and for those of you who loved the JC "God/Love/Murder" CDs that came out a few years back (and I highly recommend these discs to folks new to JC who want an inexpensive intro to his classics - each disc is a best-of compilation based on a different theme...gospel songs, love songs, and murder ballads) and now there's a fourth disc in the series.

i think it's been out a little while, but i just got it today - it's called "life" and the songs were chosen by cash himself before he died, and there's one new song on the disc called "i can't go that way". the theme of this one is "life lessons", and the songs are supposed to reflect how the man in black lived his life and the mistakes he made on the way. oughtta be deep.

anyone heard this one yet? anyone liking it? i'm sure i'll love it...

god/love/murder are brilliant intros to his old stuff...god and love are perfect to play on a weekend morning while you're fixing breakfast, and murder is just as hardcore as anything you'll hear any rapper try to spit out. life is good...it's interesting in that most of it is mid/up-tempo stuff. it's got some pretty deep songs on it, though - like "man in black", which might be my favorite johnny cash song ever.
