Great doco

One of the many interesting things about it is the way it places country music in the cultural life of America 

Pretty sure we listen to a lot of the same music😊

With a Lot of country musics secret weapon🪕🪕🪕

Not a streamer, Keyse but do me up a list of the Cash albums you consider essential to own.

Over the next few days can do

A lot of great songs often spread across multiple records along with a lot of unlistenable ones😊

Johnny Cash has some great detailed compilations

Did you watch the SBS or the Discs?  SBS only showed half of what is on the discs.

From memory The SBS was only 8 hours.  The Disc set is 16 hours plus.  Another good one is the DVD "Down from the Mountain".  It is a documentary from the concert tour of the music inspired by the Coen Bros film "O Brother where Art Though"  The concerts include but not only, performers from the film.  John Hartford as concert MC is special.

in the same vein as Down From the Mountain is Another Day, Another Time, a concert of music from another Coen Bros movie, Inside Llewyn Davis. I never saw the original film but the concert movie is sort of a cross-generational Down From the Mountain. Maybe not as good but definitely worth checking out.

The Nashville  Sessions is a 2 for 1 that has some great songs and is a personal favourite

As Long As I Live is a duet on Water From The Wells Of Home with Emmylou and is one of my many favourite songs of all time

The duets with June is wonderful

@deanB

This has a good to great selection of songs

4 songs with The Carter Family and 3 with Earle Scruggs justify the price add one with Bob and a couple with June and any questions about how great Johnny Cash is becomes redundant 😊

As I said before you need time to listen to pick it up

The good news is that Johnny Cash is a great accompaniment to drinking beer🍺🎶🎶

I've probably never listened to Cash without a beer in reach.

Thanks for those recommendations, I'll do a Discogs search asap.

Lucinda Williams - This Sweet Old World. 2017 version when she rerecorded the album and although I like what she did 25 years later, I still have a real soft spot for the original which has always been a favourite of mine. The original album cover was my avatar here on StereoNET up until around 2016 along with the other couple below and apologies for subjecting you to that totally useless bit of information, but thanks for indulging me anyway.............hmmm, nostalgia.🙄

 

Cheers,

 

Keith
