Pearl Jam plays in a little hole in the wall tavern out side of Jtree every couple years... they come in to town to trip, and take spiretual journies with a med man that live out in the desert down there...

I realize he's on his way out but, whatever the music will always live on.... and thank you for the name of the album. Quote
fern Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 In my opinion some poor choices of songs were made on that album, or in some cases just poor instrumentation and production choices. About half the songs are not well rendered and make Mr. Cash sound old and undignified. The back up music is pedantic and soul-less and distracts from his voice which is still quite moving and powerful when given the chance. "Hurt" is quite well done although the clanging piano is a bit overbearing. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is very nice and touching. "Sam Hall" is fun. But Fiona Apple rots and does the world really need another cover of "Desperado"? or something Quote
Dru Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 In my, not humble at all opinion, the next thing Im gonna listen to is the NUFONIA MUST FALL bonus CD. Quote

He did win some award recently on CMT (ithink thats the xtry music channel)....his wife accepted it for him; if that says anything about his condition.....Please everyone have a for Johnny Cash. He rocks the world over. Quote

randygoat Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 I could have done without ever hearing Desperado again. There are a few other week moments on the disc, but over all i liked it alot. My son even digs it , for the most part, particularly Hurt ,Personal Jesus, and I hang My Head[ not sue if that's the title]. Ever hear him do Nick Caves ,Mercy Seat? Chilling!! Quote

When she played in Olympia, I don't think she finished a single song, just sort of sputtered out in mid-verse, got up, wandered around the stage a bit, sat down and started another one, until she finally wandered all the way off stage.
