"Johnny Cash. Not much needs to be said about the iconic singer of the 20th century. The late Cash has been known to effortlessly mix themes of rock and country into a fusion all his own. The sixth and final installment in his American series, Ain't No Grave, is a mind-blowing exit. Recorded and produced by Rick Rubin in Cash's final days, this album is hauntingly spiritual.
From the first notes of the title song, Cash's signature warble and bass tones resound through ominous lyrics of spirituality and strength. His voice is clear and strong in unison the powerful chords of the acoustic guitar. The fear invoking words of the cover of “Redemption Day” is a clear plea for personal and societal freedom, while “Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream” is a pageantry wish for world peace."
