Album Reviews
There's something wrong about Starbucks -- which owns the label Hear Music -- selling celebrity mix tapes. But Johnny Cash's handpicked collection of songs and singers that helped make him the Man in Black is so damn sweet that it transcends its dubious distribution. From Glen Campbell to Bruce Springsteen and Red Foley to Mahalia Jackson, these tracks flow like the rivers in Cash's own compositions. The singer may be celebrated as a badass outlaw, but selections such as Eddy Arnold's "I'll Hold You in My Heart ('Til I Can Hold You in My Arms)" reveal him to be an earnest, loving softy.
