For the past two weeks, I have been obsessively listening to Johnny Cash's latest album American IV: The Man Comes Around. This album is an end-of-life masterwork from an old master. As one review on Amazon stated, "Cash sings like he's already dead." Haunting and powerful.
And for me, it's a very big deal that I can actually listen to Johnny Cash. His music accompanied some hideous times as I grew up. Afterwards, I could not bear to listen to his music. But this album transcends all of that. And as such, packs an even bigger emotional wallop.
