Amazon.com Back in their commercial heyday as a duet team, June Carter Cash always managed to bring out a lighter, more playful side of her often somber and serious husband, the famed "Man in Black." Among these 13 tracks (11 of them originally released on the 1967 album plus 2 bonus tracks) are familiar titles like the naughty, cat-scratch-fever hit "Jackson" and their soulfully twangy version of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me, Babe." But Cash and Carter also breathe understated fire and shared sensuality into more unlikely material, like their loping, folky reading of Richard Fariña's "Pack Up Your Sorrows," a pair of Ray Charles R&B standards--"I Got a Woman" and "What'd I Say"--and memorable original compositions like the class-conscious "Shantytown" and a nostalgic love lament called "Oh, What a Good Thing We Had." --Bob Allen Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsConsidering who is singing, this one disappoints... William E. Adams | Midland, Texas USA | 06/19/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "Although I became a Johnny Cash fan the first time I heard "I Walk the Line" in 1956, when I was 11, I missed this LP when it was released in 1967 because I'd been drafted. No record players were allowed in the army barracks, but even if they were, there were no funds left for buying records on a private's pay. I bought this last month because I had no June Carter vocals in my Cash/country collection. However, the only gems on here are the famous "Jackson" and "It Ain't Me, Babe" by Dylan. Overall, I found this to be not only dated, but remastered in a way that seems to subdue the vocals in favor of the accompaniment. So if you already have "Jackson" on another Cash CD, you don't need this. Two earlier reviewers, who are favorites of mine and whose views I almost always agree with, like this one a lot better than I do. I feel it is one of the most unsuccessful of Johnny's Columbia releases. He and June have fun with two R & B hits borrowed from the late Ray Charles, but what they prove is that the songs should have stayed with Ray. I still love the Man in Black, and the woman he was meant to marry, but not this particular project." Johnny and June in peak form Peter Durward Harris | Leicester England | 07/07/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've been a huge fan of Johnny Cash for many years, while I've always wished that June had spent more time in the recording studio.This particular album was recorded at a time when country duets were highly fashionable. Had Johnny and June recorded more albums together, they may have had the same success as Porter and Dolly, George and Tammy, Conway and Loretta. This was a very successful album, but they didn't follow it up. Instead, they simply included their duets on Johnny's solo albums.It ain't me babe had been a hit a couple of years before this album was recorded. The other songs were all recorded in 1967. Long-legged guitar picking man and Jackson were the two new big hits that every country oldies fan will recognise. The other songs are also excellent and demonstrate that the chemistry between Johnny and June was brilliant.This was and remains one of the more significant albums of Johnny's long and distinguished career, and also leaves us wondering how big a star June could have been had she taken a music career seriously." Hotter Than A Pepper Sprout "Tee" | LA | 12/10/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash are largely responsible for starting off the country star duet cycle in the late 1960's and they won every duet award to be had but they only record three albums together despite decades of performing together. This first album is the best, recorded actually before they were married. These tracks are packed with the sexual sparks these two soul mates displayed on the stage. Cash certainly seems to be enjoying himself more in the duets than in any of his solo work, he's clearly having fun! And who wouldn't, June gives such a delicious comic sass to their toe-tapping numbers. Their legendary hit "Jackson" is here as well as their sassy smash "Long Legged Guitar Pickin' Man". Just as good is their first duet hit, "It Ain't Me, Babe". The Carter Family adds their unmistakable harmony to "Shanytown" - with all these Johnny and June reissues on the market, there is a definate need for some of the 60's/70's Carter Family recordings to come out of the vaults. Johnny & June weren't as prolific as Porter & Dolly or Conway & Loretta or even George & Tammy but they certainly take a back seat to no one when it comes to producing great music together.
Be sure also to get the brand new 16 BIGGEST HITS collection by Johnny and June which has all of their popular duet hits in one package." |
