Oink Oink...

I just listened to this again last week. I seriously consider it Jay's best disc by a mile. There is not a bad song on it and the band just smokes. I love this disc! My most played of '05 by far. A criminally underrated album.

OK, now I know these aren't Ryan. He says in the above that he doesn't drink or do drugs?! Anyone that has ever seen the guy live knows how full of shit that statement is. That post has to be a troll or something...

Cold Roses 100X> Gold

I do not hate him at all. I do wish he didn't give such a shit what critics or fans on his message board think. He has some great points in this post but man, what a waste of time responding to his own message board! I'd rather assume my favorite artists are above reading posts about themselves....

"crickets"

With these records, Rick Rubin has presented Johnny Cash as the most true to the real Cash as anyone Johnny ever worked with. These American Recordings are a Godsend and I can't believe anyone would bash Rubin for this new disc if they really listened to it. It is my disc of the year no matter what else is released.

Since you seem to be a fan, I can't believe you can listen to this and not enjoy it as a fan. Of course non-Cash fans shouldn't start here. I think that is obvious to anyone that followed Cash's work. And I don't find it depressing in the least. It is a man at the end of his life singing amazingly personal songs to the woman he loves. I find it amazingly inspirational. Who would not want to hear a favorite artist do something like this? AND, I find the vocals to be some of the best of his career, frail or not.

Just listened for the first time and right now this is album of the year material for me. A staggering listen! I'm still speechless.

Yes and both were God-awful!

Whatever you do, don't add Led Zeppelin tp Pandora. It started playing Whitesnake and Iron Maiden! And Ryan Adams brought up some really shitty stuff too.
