Unearthed

Product Information

The pages housing the vinyls are think heavy cardboard, the whole box is cloth bound, as is the huge hardcover book.

The Johnny Cash Unearthed box set was originally issued on CD in 2003, just two months after Cash’s death. The last disc of this monumental set is a "best-of" compilation of tracks that did make it on the American individual discs, a reminder of just how groundbreaking these sessions were. Those who bought the recent vinyl box set of American I-VI have every right to be upset that Unearthed wasn't included. Not for allowing a musical icon to end his career and life by recording some of the best music ever, but because there are so many excellent recordings here that should have been released during Cash's lifetime.Most riveting are the numerous traditional numbers, the songs that were clearly closest to the Man in Black's heart. Irrespective of the source, all of our collectables meet our strict grading and are 100% guaranteed. A solo version of "Like a Soldier", a version of "Drive On" featuring different lyrics, and an acoustic studio version of "Bird on a Wire" were issued on the 1994 album American Recordings.

The deluxe packaging includes a 104-page, cloth-bound book; never-before-seen photographs; and Cash's personal commentary on every song in the box. Particularly on the first CD, starting with a powerful performance of ''Long Black Veil'' this feels like a one man journey through the history of American song.

A really nice box set, but it's a shame that they really missed the care about the records production. Für mich ist es jedenfalls schwieriger (vor allem wenn es um vertonte Geschichten aus der alten Bibel geht, das pack ich fast nicht), die Songs alle zu mögen. Flesh and Blood" was previously recorded by Cash for the soundtrack to the 1970 film I Walk the Line. Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. Cash che canta senza limiti, Depeche Mode, U2, Merle Haggard, Beatles, Neil Diamond, in coppia con Joe Strummer o Tom Petty o con il vecchio amico Carl Perkins, canta ogni cosa, la sua voce nel tempo è diventata profonda cavernosa, ti scende fin giù nelle viscere non ti perdona, sei costretto a seguire il suo cavallo, anche senza il Boom Chicka Boom dei tempi gloriosi.
