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.

"American IV: The Man Comes Around" is not live, but an interesting CD. I heard it when I was auditioning a pair of Harbeth Super HL-5's down at Jeff's in Bloomington, Indiana.

This CD was produced in Johnny's home by a producer who had always wanted to produce one of his albums. Johnny was dying and the producer actually set everything up in Johnny's living room for him and recorded the CD.

As far as story telling, Johnny knew that he was about to die, and you can tell it in his voice and the songs that he chose to record. It's worth giving a listen to.
