Review of Johnny Cash: Ring of Fire

It is easy to say you love Johnny Cash, even easier to love his music, but this program allows the listener to get closer to knowing the man, and that's a real treat.

Review of Johnny Cash: Ring of Fire

This is the first of four hour long pieces produced to coincide with the release of the 4 CD set "Johnny Cash: Legend"
Yet it never hypes the set. Instead the host, Rodney Crowell, delivers with great credibility the sounds and voices of Johnny's recording carreer and life.
We hear a bit from Johnny and his second wife June Carter as well as daughter Roseanne Cash (Rodney never does say that they were married, making him Cash's son-in-law) and numerous band mates, producers and for the "detached, authoritative" perspective, Anthony DeCurtis from Rolling Stone.
AND...AND 13 songs, most of them complete, one never before heard.
So instead of fade in, fade out, the producers decided to give listeners lots of Johnny Cash.
The hour is filled with stories and songs. It's good radio - very listenable, fun and full of Johnny Cash.

Musical Works

Featured music comes from the 4-CD box set "Johnny Cash: The Legend," in stores from Columbia/Legacy Recordings this August.
