Man In Mourning

Although Johnny Cash's American VI is promised to be the last of the Rick Rubin's, who really knows? Anyway, it's an odd album to embrace. Cash is at the end. If you're tired of the Rubin/Cash formula of the previous 5, than this definitely is not for you. But I fell for it. Then again, I always fall for albums after death. Warren Zevon, Joey Ramone were all albums in the last decade that I liked. Death breeds sentimentality, especially in music. But I must say that all of these albums were good. And that wins over my misty-eyed love for these artists final moments.
