This album is oozing in personality. Cash perfectly captures the feelings of guilt and yearning from prison life, while having the sense of humor to perform it within the prison he sings about. This album listened as a whole makes you feel like you are in the audience with the incarcerated. Lyrics are clever, and a testament to Cash's legacy.
An album that instantly feels dated and also experimental. I personally hate when an artist smushes 10 songs together into one but sure whatever. The soundtrack to a movie I wouldn't watch.
The only other cover album I've listened to completely was Weezer Teal, and this is better than that. Why don't artists make cover albums anymore?
Also Willie Nelson is still alive?!?!?!?!? What the heck I thought he's been dead for years.
I have personal beef with Steely Dan that's not anyone's fault. But seeing as this is my 3rd 70s album in 3 days, he's just not helping.
Like it was fine, but I just wanted it to be over sometimes.
please 1001 albums. i want an album that was made since the vietnam war ended.
Also I was a jazz kid from ages 12 to 18. and like its good jazz but it doesn't make me feel anything ya know?
I lied. I played Flight of the Foo Birds for my last Jazz concert of middle school. It took me right back. I miss my saxophone.
3 stars
The quintessential 60s band and the quintessential 60s sound. It is dated but in a nostalgic way, not a cringe way. I liked it.
3 stars.
what the heck is this.
one star jesus christ
cozy. not particularly offensive or memorable
3 stars i guess
gay cowboy music?
4 stars
finally an album i've heard of.
Californication is fine. I'm not the biggest chilis fan but I appreciate what they did for 2000s rock.
3.5 stars.
im sick of UK alt music. its so mid
"so what do you want to hear?"
A critique of 1001 Albums as a whole: I understood the significance of a johnny cash prison album from the other one I heard two weeks ago. I did not need to listen to two before I died.
Led Zeppelin is the worst of good classic rock. I can't say they're bad, but I would not purchase this album if I was 19 years old in 1969.
pink floyd is such a fascinating band. I get why people love them, but I didn't grow up listening to them. I like some of their songs, but these long experimental projects don't do much for me.
3 stars.
the main theme of this album is "long"
second theme is "dive bar"
i listened to this at work (like i do all the albums) and it was good focus music
3 stars
groovy
spotify said "you might like this: sad soul"
3 stars
did not slay the house down but my dad would love it
3 stars
My curse is kinda good. I've listened to so much altrock at this point that nothing really stands out but this album is fine.
2 stars only because it's so mid
i love that he got criticized for this album being too "rock".
you know. the most folksy 60s album i've heard.
yeah sure.
4 stars.
what an opener
if you told me this album was made in 2003 i probably would believe you at first
i liked it more than i thought i would. which is better than i can say for most of the albums on this list.
4 stars?
