American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

There must come a time in a man’s development when Johnny cash suddenly becomes good. It probably correspondes with frontal lobe development. I remember listening to him occasionally when my dad would play him and thinking “I don’t get it this is boring”. And now listening to this I’m so grateful it came back around when I can appreciate and enjoy it
