Cash, Johnny - Come Along And Ride This Train

Johnny Cash
Come Along & Ride This Train
Box with 4 CDs & Book
Bear Family Records BCD 15563 DH

Johnny Cash war einer der ersten, der die Idee eines Konzept-Albums in der Country Music umsetzte. Die meisten Songs auf dieser Sonderedition entstammen den zwischen 1960 und 1977 veröffentlichten Konzeptalben 'Ride This Train', 'Blood, Sweat and Tears', 'Bitter Tears', 'Ballads Of The True West', 'From Sea To Shining Sea', 'America' und 'The Rambler'. Auf diesen Alben hat sich Johnny Cash thematisch u.a. mit dem amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg und den Indianer-Pogromen befasst. Diese Zusammenstellung ist ein Statement seiner vitalsten und kreativsten Zeit als Sänger, Songwriter und ambitioniertem Americana-Interpreten. Ironischerweise war dies auch die Zeit seiner größten privaten Krisen und Drogenexzesse.
