Review of Johnny Cash: Personal File

A new member of the Johnny Cash fan family is born. My 16 year old niece saw the movie, I Walk the Line. Next CD she bought was The Essential Johnny Cash, 36 wonderful songs. She will truly enjoy this piece. Thanks for the treasures. There is no voice like Johnny's except maybe one other, a voice that feels like home.

Hope all my favorite artists have their own personal file.

Thank you, Rodney Crowell, for hosting.

Review of Johnny Cash: Personal File

I think Roseanne and John Carter Cash getting Rodney Crowell to narrate was a very good choice. Rodney Crowell is the epitome of Johnny Cash. Beings all songs have not been previously released, it made this not only Johnny Cash's Personal File, but, I feel an Intimate File. Songs Johnny cherished and held dear to his heart, which, were protected in a vault until now.

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.
