Johnny Cash – American V: A Hundred Highways

Posted on by

It was only a few weeks ago that I heard that Johnny Cash had a new album coming out. While listening to KEXP, DJ Kevin Cole described that soon after June Carter Cash died, Johnny hit the studio to record what would become his final album.

KEXP has been playing the album through out the last couple of weeks, but myspace has set up a page for Johnny which streams the entire album.

You notice is the pain in voice right away with the first song “Help Me.” I felt a small tear come to my eye. I knew he was hurting. The next song, though, is a message to everyone living in sin, but “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” is the best song on the album. Its hard-hitting and heavy. Cash is a messenger for God and this song proves it.

After listening to this entire album, I’ve decided that if it doesn’t win album of the year in every awards ceremony, I’ve given up on the music industry.

It should be noted that “On the 309” was the last song he both wrote and recorded. He knows the end is coming soon. Get on that train.

If you haven’t heard of the Silversun Pickups, just wait another month because you will.

This band out of Los Angeles brings it hard and heavy. I first heard “Kissing Families” on the second KEXP Music That Matters podcast. My mind exploded. I wanted to drive out to LA that night and watch them play.

On 25 July, Silversun Pickups will release their new full-length album “Carnavas.” For now, you need to check out “Pikul;” it’ll change your life.
