Album Notes Personnel: Mike Campbell , Jonny Polonsky, Matt Sweeney, Pat McLaughlin, Randy Scruggs, Smokey Hormel (guitar); Benmont Tench (piano, harpsichord, organ).Additional personnel include: Mark Howard , Marty Stuart, Pete Wade.Recording information: Cash Cabin Studio, Hendersonville, Tennessee.Johnny Cash's final album, AMERICAN V: A HUNDRED HIGHWAYS, is a moving and fitting swan song for the legendary performer. Like Cash's other recordings with producer Rick Rubin, AMERICAN V is quiet, intense, and minimal; it creates a thrilling intimacy by keeping the focus on Cash's aging voice and increasingly soulful, nuanced phrasing.The album was produced piecemeal, with Cash's vocal tracks recorded mere months before the artist's death in 2003, and the backing tracks added two years later. Yet the album coheres remarkably well, thanks in large part to the fine musicians on hand (including ace session guitarist Smokey Hormel). But this is Cash's show through and through. Whether on covers (Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind"), originals ("Like the 309," the last song Cash ever wrote), or spirituals ("I'm Free From the Chain Gang Now," the album's stirring, heartbreakingly appropriate closer), Cash sounds like no one but himself--weary, wise, and touched, perhaps, by an unseen hand Editorial Reviews Rolling Stone | |||||||||||||

Johnny sings with great feeling in every song, as though he knew it would be his last. A great tribute to his long career. You can hear in his songs the meaning of the words, and how much they meant to him. You will not be unmoved by his rending of all the songs. A truly great album.
