Album: American VI: Ain't No Grave

Label: Lost Highway

Genre: Country

Comments: The last in the Rick Rubin produced American series, Johnny Cash's American VI: Ain't No Grave is another wonderful record from the sadly departed legend. The traditional song "Ain't No Grave" takes an interesting route with Cash's sparse rendition, and his original song "I Corinthians 15:55" is a beautiful track with well-placed violin. Cash's voice is still strong, and the album has plenty of emotional threads weaving through the songs, without being depressing. It's a fitting final album, showcasing Cash's immense talent, and his resigned yet peaceful spiritual state at the end of his days. Start with any track, but definitely check out the title track and "I Corinthians 15:55."
