Johnny Cash – The Complete Columbia Album Collection [63CD Box Set] (2012)

Quando ouvi a versão de "Redemption Song" com a participação de Joe Struemmer acabei de perceber que era sim um fã ardoroso e que qto mais velho ele ficou melhor ainda.

Fui buscar outra versão e ouvindo "Father and Son" do Cat"Yusuf"Stevens fui as lágrimas mesmo e percebi que esse cara era sim diferente de tudo e de todos.

Sua história não é diferente da minha ou da sua, sua vida tb não mas seu comportamento sim, e isso me marcou muito prq pago um preço muito caro por ser quem sou, como sou e expressar o que sou.

Não me esforço pra agradar ninguém, gosto de agradar a quem cruzo meu caminho mas normalmente percebo que os seres humanos querem o que lhes interessa e depois descartam qqr um e seguem suas vidas em frente; como pra mim não serve vivo a margem da tal sociedade com uma lucidez que garanto poucos tem e observando cada movimento e sempre percebendo o egoismo de cada um.

Talvez se fosse um lobo rico tivesse muitos rapapés e puxa sacos mas como não tenho nem eira nem beira ( um abraço aos amigos lusitanos, expressão cunhada por eles) não faço muita diferença ou tenho tanta importância assim mesmo tendo sido e ainda sendo um dos melhores no que faço.

Não sou musico e isso é uma frustração, gostaria de ter sido e talvez conseguisse expressar minhas dores e frustrações em acordes variados, mas o Johnny Cash conseguiu, ao ponto de levar a pecha pela vida toda de ser ex presidiário; o que não foi, e sim que ia tocar todos os anos na prisão e de graça pros caras, o que leva a um de seus melhores discos.

E no final de sua vida lança um clipe onde expressa todo o desprezo pela sociedade dita fina e educada, mas que nada fizeram por ele a não ser desprezá-lo e qdo deram seu disco de platina ele quebrou e fez o famoso gesto com o dedo pro mundo fonográfico.

Ele não precisou deles e eles babaram por ele, ele andou pra eles a vida toda e manteve sua postura até a morte, por isso o amo ao extremo. Recebi a dica do Celso mas já tava de olho pra mim no box, então uni o útil ao agradável e aí está em dois formatos e várias hospedarias pra quem quiser se atrever a desafiar o "status quo" e se ainda não entendeu tentar entender o que ele significa pra todo universo musical.

Longa, mas longa vida ao rei!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though he was associated with Mercury Records and American Recordings for the last fifteen years of his life, Johnny Cash and Columbia Records were one of those classic artist-label partnerships of country music history.

That 1958-1986 affiliation will be celebrated on Oct. 30 with the release of "Johnny Cash - The Complete Columbia Album Collection." The massive 63 CD box set will include 35 albums released on CD for the first time by Columbia/Legacy in the U.S., the first 19 albums (1958-1967) released for the first time in Mono on CD in the U.S. and will be loaded with rarities as well as new compilations. Price tag: $265

The set will serve as a reminder of how Cash evolved from an artistic level over the years. Leaving Sam Phillips and Sun Records to sign with Columbia in 1958, Cash recorded country, rock & roll, folk, gospel, and blues during his almost three-decade run with the label.

The set was compiled by multi-Grammy Award-nominated producer Gregg Geller and multi-Grammy and W.C. Handy Award-winning producer Steve Berkowitz, who have supervised Legacy's historic Johnny Cash reissue program for over a decade.

Willie Nelson, who took part in April's "We Walk the Line: A Celebration of the Music of Johnny Cash" concert in Austin, had this to say about Cash at the event: "I always looked at John as somebody who had been there before me and who was doing it the way he wanted to do it. I always admired and respected him for doing that - he was one of the first rebels, one of the first outlaws (if you want to call him that) that hit Nashville and I was a great fan of his not only for his music but for his attitude."

The box set begins with "The Fabulous Johnny Cash," his Columbia debut LP recorded and released in 1958, with his first No. 1 country single at Columbia, "Don't Take Your Guns To Town." It wraps up in 1990 (though Cash actually was dropped by Columbia in 1986 in a very controversial decision by then executive Rick Blackburn) with "Highwayman 2," the second album by the quartet of Johnny, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson, featuring the Top 25 country hit, "Silver Stallion."

His "Folsom Prison" and "San Quentin" live albums are part of the collection, as well as six other concert discs -- including a trio of rarities:

"Johnny Cash pa Osteraker," recorded at Osteraker Prison in Sweden in 1972, released in Europe in 1973, and later added to the U.S. Catalog; "Strawberry Cake," recorded at the Palladium in London in 1975, and released in 1976, named for the Cash-composed single track that appeared on this album; and "Koncert V Praze," recorded at the Sport Hall in Prague in 1978, released on the Czech Supraphon label in 1983, now officially joining the U.S. catalog.

The Complete Columbia Album Collection is accompanied by a full-color booklet that includes complete discographic information for every album: songwriters, recording dates and cities, musicians, guest performers, producers, release dates, original catalog numbers, Billboard pop and country chart numbers for albums and single tracks, and more.

The booklet also features liner notes by veteran annotator Rich Kienzle, who references many of the Columbia albums along the way. "When one thinks of Johnny Cash's recordings, one thing is certain," Kienzle writes. "The Columbia years loom larger than any other phase. A star when he arrived in 1958, when he departed he was an American icon."
