Absolutely brilliant. All of it. I only regret I don't have the Unearthed box-set, can not find it anywhere.

+1. And Bob Dylan called the albums "notorious low-grade stuff."
I agreed with this at the time of their release but time has changed my feelings towards these recordings and I find them a great listen... AS far as Dylan, now he's making Sinatra cover albums so go figure?Quote

Cash is one of a kind. Wherever he was placed he was enormous. He overshadowed everyone in The Highway Men trying his best to be modest. Looking back at all the music figures from our past, Elvis et et et, Cash is one of the few that retains his mystique.Quote

It's a bit mean to say, because she was a great lady, but some people - including Waylon Jennings IIRC, complained that what really did him in musically was June Carter Cash. Of course, without her, he would have died by the late '60s.
I admit to having a soft spot for the G-rated spiritual stuff he did on the telly with the Carter ladies, but the old-school types must have been appalled. He was an original punk, after all. (So maybe it was equally punk for him to "go Nashville"?)
