Description
American VI is deeply elegiac and spiritual, with each song its own piece of the puzzle of life's mysteries and challenges - the pursuit of salvation, the importance of friendships, the dream of peace, the power of faith, and the joys and adversities that entail simple survival. It is an achingly personal and intimate statement, as, from the end of the line, Johnny Cash looks back on a most extraordinary life.
The songs on American VI are drawn from all over the musical landscape and from various eras, and include Sheryl Crow's moving "Redemption Day," close Cash friend Kris Kristofferson's "For The Good Times," "Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound" by Tom Paxton, Bob Nolan's "Cool Water," the hopeful "Last Night I had the Strangest Dream" by Ed McCurdy, J.H. Red Hayes and Jack Rhodes's "Satisfied Mind," Queen Lili'uokalani's song of farewell, "Aloha Oe," and the never before heard Cash original, "I Corinthians: 15:55," written over the last three years of his life.

Comments about UMGD/LOST HIGHWAY JOHNNY CASH - American VI: Aint No Grave:
This is the last great album from Johnny..if you enjoyed the other 'american'-albums you're gonna love this one..you can hear the fear of death in his voice and at the same time the readiness of death...he is so vulnerable at times you think he might break drown...even though it's a great album i Think it lacks the 'easy'-listing of 'american v'!!but still a breathtaking album..

Comments about UMGD/LOST HIGHWAY JOHNNY CASH - American VI: Aint No Grave:
The final album from the "American Recordings" series is good - as you would expect from Cash and Rubin. Johnny Cash vocals are as always very personal and the arrangements are a perfect match to his aging voice.
The first two songs are as good as anything from the series, but unfortunately there is a feeling that the rest of the album consists of tracks that were outtakes from the other albums.
That's not to say that they're bad, but this album just doesn't quite live up to American IV which is my personal favorite.
This album is a must for any fan of the American Recordings albums, but if it is your first acquaintance with Johnny Cash I would recommend starting with one of the other albums.

Comments about UMGD/LOST HIGHWAY JOHNNY CASH - American VI: Aint No Grave:
American VI: Ain't no grave" is the final in the Rick Rubin produced "American" series of CDs by Johnny Cash. Like its predecessors, it comprises pared-back covers, as well as (in this case), an original (and purpotedly final) composition by Cash.
My favourits:
Ain't no grave
Redemption song
