Johnny Cash was in the unenviable position of being a living legend who was beloved by fans of
classic country music without being able to interest anyone in his most recent work when he was signed
to Rick Rubin's American Recordings label in 1994. Rubin, best known for his work with edgy rockers
and hip-hop acts, opted to produce Cash's first album for American, and as he tried to brainstorm an approach
that would introduce Cash to a new audience, he struck upon a brilliant idea -- doing nothing.
For American Recordings, Rubin simply set up some recording equipment in Cash's Tennessee cabin
and recorded him singing a set of songs accompanied only by his acoustic guitar.
The result is an album that captured the glorious details of Johnny Cash's voice and allowed him
to demonstrate just how emotionally powerful an instrument he possessed.
While Rubin clearly brought some material to Cash for these sessions -- it's hard to imagine he would
have recorded tunes by Glenn Danzig or Tom Waits without a bit of prodding -- Cash manages
to put his stamp on every tune on this set, and he also brought some excellent new songs to the table,
including the Vietnam veteran's memoir "Drive On," the powerful testimony of faith "Redemption,"
and a sly but moving recollection of his wild younger days, "Like a Soldier." ...(AllMusic)
