Album Notes Released less than three years after Johnny Cash's passing in 2003, Legacy's two-disc PERSONAL FILE collection presents a wealth of previously unreleased material. Although the country legend recorded some of these 49 songs (including "Tiger Whitehead" and "No Earthly Good") on other occasions, the sessions here primarily showcase the Man in Black playing for his own satisfaction in the House of Cash studio, accompanied only by his acoustic guitar. While the spare tunes clearly point to Cash's lauded 1990s comeback, they were cut between '73 and '82, a time when his musical career was on the wane, but he was still well known for his television appearances and evangelical work.With no record company pressure to cater to the prevailing sound of the time, Cash sounds completely assured and at ease on these bare-bones tracks, whether covering the Louvin Brothers ("When I Stop Dreaming"), taking on traditional tunes ("Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes"), or offering up rare originals ("It's All Over," "I Wanted So"), his bold, unmistakable baritone voice always at the fore. Though this intimate set is primarily geared toward devoted Cash fans, the performances on PERSONAL FILE, which often include spoken introductions, are so charming that those less familiar with the Man in Black will also find much to enjoy.

Reviews This is Johnny Cash recorded in his home studio in 1971 accompanied only by his guitar.Its an extremely intimate recording and is spread evenly between gospel,and country songs.If you liked Cash's final recording made in a similar vein with Rick rubin you will definately like this. Cash is sadly no longer with us but will live on through his many recordings,like this one, which show his rich voice at its best.A friend of mine tells me that this CD will be deleted in the near future as sales were initally poor so make sure you get your copy before this happens, and the price inevitably rises due to its rarity.

Report this review Review created: 24/04/08 by: This CD features Johnny Cash on his own, in his studio, recording his favourite songs, for himself. As you listen, you imagine that he is singing just for you, picking on his guitar. He explains, in between some of the songs, why he likes them and what they remind him of. A truly great CD. A fitting end to his career. Review ID: 10000000006818920 Was this review helpful? Report this review 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. brought this cd because i'm a cash fan.the tracks on the album were recorded in the 70's in The House Of Cast studio and feature johnny cash playing an acustic guitar,recorded for for personal reasons, some with a narrative or story about the song being sung. the tracks were locked away and didn't come to light again until after JC's death. this is certainly a cd that should be in any country fans collection. absolutelt fantastic cllection of johnny Cash at his best Review ID: 10000000002320692 Was this review helpful? Report this review A Pure Different Side Of Johnny Cash. Alone With his Guitar Music For His Die Hard Fans Its Not Only The Music Thats Great. The Artwork On Cd Cover Is So Oringal And the booklet that comes with it. A Fast Song i think is my favourite on the album. Review ID: 10000000001278705 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
