I thought that
Johnny Cash's series of American Recordings albums, produced by
Rick Rubin, were universally loved classics. *I* love them. But a few months back, I read an interview with
Bob Dylan who said he really didn't like those albums, and in a recent interview in
Uncut,
Willie Nelson says that "Aw, I could probably do that one of these days, do my morbid album. My wrist-slashing music. No, they weren't my favorite Johnny Cash albums." OK! Well, I'll still maintain that those albums are great, and Cash and Rubin's partnership was a pretty cool one.
P.S. I love Willie's new album,
Country Music. It is one of my favorite albums of the year. Last year, his album with
Asleep At The Wheel,
Willie & The Wheel, was one of my favorites too. I'm just glad that so many of the artists that I love are able to make great music after they are AARP eligible.
