Cash. Enough said.LOCATION: Tower Records, New York CityYEAR: 1994TAGS: Johnny Cash, Rick Rubin, Liner Notes, Rolling Stone, Tower RecordsPUBLISHED: January 14, 2008My introduction to Johnny Cash was during the first fruit of his career rebirth when he teamed with Rick Rubin, the storied rap, rock, and everything in between producer and label owner.
I remember being in college and reading a coveted five star review of Cash's album "American Recordings" in Rolling Stone. Having followed Rick's career and combined with a very strong RS review, I felt compelled to see what this new Cash record was all about. I went over to my Tower Records at 4th and Broadway in Greenwich Village and tried looking for it. No dice in all the usual spots. Then I did something crazy; I went to look for the country music section at Tower Records in NYC. It was literally on a floor I never went to, in the very, very back. And there it was. It is a very moving album with great songs. And that album cover sets the tone for something very foreboding coming on. Inside the album (or CD more specifically) was a multi-page insert in Cash's own handwriting of his thoughts behind the songs. The return of liner notes with substance! There was also a great music video for "Delia's Gone" by Anton Corbijn (shot gloriously in black & white) and featuring Kate Moss. It paved the way for one of the great videos of all time, "Hurt". Who knew Cash would be re-birthed by music videos as well as stark albums?
