Johnny Cash

Cash on American Recordings

This may not be a really permanent top 5, but we're in the midst of a Johnny Cash festival this weekend. We have historians, memorabilia, tribute bands, relatives, and people who played with him.

He was in jail for a night here once for picking flowers (or something). It's possible that this link plays the song "Starkville City Jail." There might be a download.

[GILLY]

American Beauty Sound track, Thomas Newman

Yessongs, Yes recorded live in 1972

Bill Morrissey's Greatest hits, New England folk/blues man

Ride Along with Bob, Asleep at the Wheel doing covers of Bob Wills stuff

New Favorite, Alison Krause and Union Station

the older I get the better some of this country stuff sounds!

I haven't even HEARD of 9/10s of the stuff in this thread.
The 4th one in the above thread is "Ride With Bob", it's AATW, but with guests on it really making the difference. I ordered the CD direct from them and they included a few decals and a nice signed album cover, which just blew me away.
I don't listen to anything when I ride though. Might change, but my hearing is getting so crappy I dopn't think I need to make it any worse by cranking music. I do like music, I own 2 jukeboxes of the 1960's, 45 rpm variety.

[BUBBAZANETTI]

i just burned 5 discs i discovered while cleaning this weekend to my itunes:

A 3 disc set of Black Sabbath's greatest hits from the Ozzy years
A best of Iron Maiden
Gustav Holst "The Planets"

i attempted a lower fidelity dupe with the first 4, my ipod's getting full and when you're on the subway and other sonically imperfect places it's about quantity. i reverted back to a higher sampling rate for the Holst disc. I'm particularly excited to get reacquainted with the later "Ozzy Years" Sabbath stuff from the Sabotage and Technical Ecstasy albums.
