Review of Johnny Cash: Personal File


Listening to this wonderful program, I'm sad all over again at the loss of Johnny Cash, but sad in a good way. The program description clearly offers the scope of a hugely rewarding hour, but can't remotely convey the satisfaction any Cash-loving listeners will feel after the last notes fade. Jam-packed with lovely moments, anecdotes and insights from Cash, his children and colleagues. And always, there's the music. These home recordings will soon be commerically released, but as yet, have rarely been heard, so this is a very special hour. Former son-in-law Crowell gently narrates a program beautifully produced with genuine appreciation for Cash's talent, humanity and spirit. Highly recommended.
