+ JC AT San Quentin, the Unearthed box set

soix

Excellent suggestions as above. Add;

"Live at Folsom" SACD

Happy Listening!

Thanks guys.  I’ve got a lot to go on now.  I noticed The Man in Black didn’t get any mentions.  Is it the standard compressed mass-market recording made for radio and Alexa? 

There are six albums in the American Recordings series. I have all of them. They are excellent!

I enjoy his latest Bears Sonic Journals Johnny Cash at the Carousel ballroom. Bear had a unique way of recording so you may want to read some reviews before purchasing. PSaudio has a great review in their Copper magazine on line.

Agree, American Recodings….JC is in your room!

"Live at Folsom' is a must listen to Johnny Cash

" The Essential Johnny Cash 1955-1983" on Columbia is a good place to start 

American Recordings (believe there are four of them) are fantastic

I think the American Recordings are some of his best work

I have the older God,Love, Murder, 3 cd set that is a fine spin

Oh, his daughter Rosanne Cash is wonderful as well, check her work out.

Happy Spinning.

"Unchained" would be at the top of my list. In a word, fabulous.

+1 "American Recordings" for production. J C and HQ are like watching the Godfather in HD. Nice but it doesn't add much.

I haven't listened to all of his many albums but "American Recordings" sounds exceptionally good on my system. It has some of his most iconic songs done in a style that's more spare than some of his earlier stuff.
