Search - Johnny Cash :: Super Hits

Very poorly done.

"Very bad mix on at least one song.



I head the song "I Walk The Line" from this compilation and was amazed. It is very badly mixed. I own the columbia records compilation "Johnny Cash's Greatest Hits Volume 1" and the mix is very different even though it is obviously from the same recording session. The bass beat is significantly slower but the voice is only a bit slower. They make up for this by cutting out base notes every now and then. It make for a confused feel and does Cash a real disservice. The "Super Hits" people must have some weird idea of what sound they want.



If you want to enjoy the music stay with a distributer with some musical morals."

Great Cash CD

"Johnny Cash left a musical legacy that spanned forty years, from the fifties to the nineties. Many people are now just being introduced to The Man in Black and his music because of the film "Walk the Line." This CD collection is a great way for someone to hear a sampling of some of his earlier hits from the fifties and sixties, and one from 1970, "Sunday Morning Coming Down," which he first performed on the Johnny Cash show. Cash angered network executives by refusing to take out the words "Lord, I wish that I was stoned."



The ten tracks on this album are well selected, and are a variety of slow and fast songs with all sorts of different themes. My favorite songs are Sunday Morning' Comin' Donw, Folsom Prison Blues, Understand Your Man,and A Boy Named Sue.



I also highly recommend Cash's autobiography. Cash tells his own story like no one else could."

"Just a short sampler of Johnny Cash's hits, but includes "Understand Your Man" which is often missing from other collections."
