In his anthem "Man in Black," Johnny Cash declares "I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down." BITTER TEARS provides ample evidence of Cash's fascination with those marginalized by American society, as well as his sympathies for their suffering. The album might be a bit monochromatic for some--the focus is adamantly on the injustices committed on the Indian nations by whites--but there is no denying the intensity of Cash's commitment to the material or the power of his performances.One of Cash's many concept albums, BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS chronicles the daily lives and folklore of American laborers. It also marks a departure from the spare, "boom-chick" sound he had perfected at Sun Records; here, banjos, autoharps, and background vocals by the Carter Family flesh out arrangements built around Cash's voice and acoustic guitar. The album's centerpiece is a heart-rending version of "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer"; other highlights include Harlan Howard's "Busted" (the same song was a hit for Ray Charles), "Tell Him I'm Gone," "Casey Jones," and the Sheb Wooley composition "Roughneck."As for RING OF FIRE, it's hardly a definitive best-of--Cash has made so many great records over the years that one would need several volumes to really do justice to such a project. Given its built in limitation, however, it does a pretty good job, highlighting some of Cash's more spiritual and historical tunes in addition to his more mainstream country songs. Things kick off with the title tune, (written by his wife, June), which is still one of Cash's most memorable (and ominous) recordings. Cash the strong, silent loner is presented on the exquisitely crafted "I Still Miss Someone." The spiritual side is represented by "Were You There (When They Crucified My Lord)," and "Peace in the Valley." And Cash's avid interest in U.S. history is evidenced by tunes like "Remember The Alamo," where he shows his gift for bringing past events to life with vitality and style. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
