Johnny Cash last cd - what is the title??

Question

My boyfriend wants this cd for his birthday but i havent a clue what the title of it is -he says it was the last cd Cash released before he died and it was mainly covers of bands such as Soundgarden and other modern artistes.... Anyone have any idea what the name of this cd is?? i know i only have vague specifics but someone out there must be a fan!!

Answer 1

In his latter years, Johnny Cash released a series of albums under the title of The American Recordings on Rick Rubin's American label.

The Soundgarden cover, "Rusty Cage", I believe was on number 2. His most famous cover was his version of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt", which was on Volume 4. There were 5 in total, with the possibility of a sixth to be released posthumously.

You're probably thinking of his most recent Best Of collection, which featured old classics and some of his most recent recordings.

Answer 2

Well, there's American 3, 4, 5 and 6 that are all like that. They all have covers of modern bands. I don't remember any Sound Garden, but #4 has a cover of Nine Inch Nails "Hurt"

6 was released after his death, so not sure which you need.

Answer 3

It's American IV:The Man Comes Around. American IV is a series of albums but The Man Comes Around is his final one. It includes cover songs from Nine Inch Nails, Sting, Dpeche Mode, Roberta Flack,The Beatles and those are just a few. Hope this helps you
