American III: Solitary Man--Johnny Cash

During the late 90s through the year 2000, a debilitating nerve disorder put the brakes on Johnny Cash's career, forcing him to stop touring and performing live.With 'American III: Solitary Man,' Cash shows that his spirit and abilities are undiminished. It features classics like Neil Diamond¡¦s 60s title track, ¡¥Solitary Man,¡¦ and Nick Cave¡¦s, ¡¥The Mercy Seat,¡¦ along with Cash originals. The overall sound of 'American III: Solitary Man' is predominantly acoustic and intimate, with guitar, fiddle, piano, organ and harmonium. Guest stars Merle Haggard, Sheryl Crow, Tom Petty and Norman Black sound right at home with the Man in Black. (by Steve Taylor)
