Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Amazon.com

It's a great and perhaps impossible challenge to encapsulate the highlights of Johnny Cash's vast musical catalog in a two-CD, 36-song collection like this. Yet, though it barely scratches the surface, 2002's The Essential Johnny Cash--part of a series of compilations and reissues celebrating Cash's 70th birthday--does present three-dozen satisfying and balanced snapshots of some of the Man in Black's most memorable work for the Sun, Columbia, and Mercury labels. Above all else, these 36 selections are wonderful reminders of Cash's rustic eclecticism. Cuts range from '50s Sun rockabilly classics like "Hey Porter" and "I Walk the Line" to '60s country-folk gems like "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" and Cash's memorable duet with Bob Dylan on Dylan's "Girl from the North Country." Also included are more recent samplings of Cash's celebrated collaborations, including "Highwayman," which he recorded in 1984 with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson as part of the on-again, off-again supergroup the Highwaymen, and "The Wanderer," a fervent gospel collaboration with U2 that appeared on the band's 1993 album, Zooropa. --Bob Allen

Even though I bought this CD for my 86 year old Mother who is living with me, I also enjoy listening to every song.

This is the only Johnny Cash CD I own and I'm really glad I finally purchased it. He is clearly both a country music and overall music icon. Few country artists have contributed any more. This captures the essence of his contributions and his life.
A must have for all Johnny Cash Fans. - Reviewed on 2008-02-09

The unique sound and style that sets Johnny Cash apart from the rest, is transparent, addictive and always keeps you interested in hearing more. Lyrics are simple yet elegant with a catchy rhythm.

"The Man in Black"

Don't confuse this two cd set with other Johnny Cash releases of the same name. This is a solid collection of his better known songs. Anyone experiences Johnny Cash for the first time - this is where to start. I do recommend expanding your music library to include some of his later works as well, like some of his live performances which really showcase his charisma and vigor with an audience.

His Christmas and gospel works are legendary.

The compilation "Unearthed" is one of the best collections of Johnny Cash's lesser known works... but this two cd set "The Essential Johnny Cash" is a nice set of the more famous stuff.
