Dans le genre albums de reprises, je trouve les
American Recordings de Johnny Cash absolument sublimes.
Mention spéciale à "
Solitary Man" que je trouve parfait de bout en bout, jusqu'à la pochette.

Allez, je ne résiste pas à l'idée d'en éditer le track listing qui laisse rêveur (et qui me fait presque aimer U2 pour la sublime version de
One) :
1. "I Won't Back Down" (Tom Petty/Jeff Lynne)
2. "Solitary Man" (Neil Diamond)
3. "That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)" (Haven Gillespie/Beasely Smith)
4. "One" (Bono, Adam Clayton, The Edge, Larry Mullen)
5. "Nobody" (Egbert Williams)
6. "I See a Darkness" (Will Oldham)
7. "The Mercy Seat" (Nick Cave/Mick Harvey)
8. "Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)" (David Allan Coe)
9. "Field of Diamonds" (Cash, Jack Routh)
10. "Before My Time" (Cash)
11. "Country Trash" (Cash)
12. "Mary of the Wild Moor" (Dennis Turner)
13. "I'm Leavin' Now" (Cash)
14. "Wayfaring Stranger" (Traditional)
... oh et puis zut, celui-ci (
The Man Comes Around) est trop bon également alors je ne résiste pas non plus :

1. "The Man Comes Around" (Cash)
2. "Hurt" (Reznor)
3. "Give My Love to Rose" (Cash)
4. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (Simon)
5. "I Hung My Head" (Sting)
6. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (MacColl)
7. "Personal Jesus" (Gore)
8. "In My Life" (Lennon/McCartney)
9. "Sam Hall" (Ritter)
10. "Danny Boy" (Weatherly)
11. "Desperado" (Frey/Henley)
12. "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" (Williams)
13. "Tear Stained Letter" (Cash)
