Johnny Cash cd's


help a newbie Cash fan out. Looking for well recorded, Live performances if any exist on CD. I love the way he tells story's, in particular "Boy Named Sue". Quality recordings in terms of sound would be a big bonus.

The last recordings of Cash are available on quality vinyl, too. I picked up the one with "Wayfaring Stranger", "don't back down", and "Bridge Over Troubled water". sounds very good. I found mine at the Analogue Room in San jose, CA
Japanese pressings of "Live at San Quentin" are around. I have one and it sounds very good except for the scratches; bought another copy, American, that is pristing but it does not sound as good as the japanese pressing. Both are more than adequate for listening, however; it is the performance that counts. Cash's version of Dylan's "Wanted Man", "The Wreck of the Old 97", and "Starkville City Jail" are are first class as well as the great ballad with June Carter "Let There Be Peace In The Valley".

We all miss Johnny. I was fortunate enough to see him at the Fillmore in San Francisco when he was doing his first "American Recordings" tour.
Vinyl versions of the American Recordings are out there new; they sound great.
