Artist: Johnny Cash
Title: Bootleg III:Live Around The World
Label: Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music
Release Date: 2011
Format: MP3 @ 320 K
This double-disc collection contains 53 tracks culled from 23 years, 1956 to 1979. The heart of its performances are from the Newport Folk Festival in 1964; a show for the troops in Long Binh, Vietnam in 1969; for Richard Nixon at the White House in 1970, and at the Osteraker Prison in Sweden in 1972. The sound varies in quality but the selection is stellar. Though he lived long enough to see presidents from Herbert Hoover to George W. Bush, Cash’s signature sound remained constant. It was sometimes reassuring and other times provocative, but always honest and uniquely American. The dichotomy of Cash’s music, as well as its consistency, is on display in Bootleg III, produced by Gregg Geller and Steve Berkowitz. It’s a worthy successor not only to Bootleg I and II but other recent Cash archival projects like The Johnny Cash TV Show and the expanded boxes of At Folsom Prison and At San Quentin. Only 16 of the 53 tracks on Live Around the World have seen prior release.
