Livealbum
Just not my jam.
In 1968, as a little kid, I was listening to the mono single by The Spencer Davis Group two years earlier, Keep On Running on side A and High Time Baby on side B. Needless to say, the latter was my favourite, mainly because of the piano solo. It wasn't a bad choice on the other side of the Iron Curtain, in the middle of the pile of family records, mostly gypsy music, Hungarian lyrics and operetta. OK, I found a complete three-disc Traviata album and a couple of poetry discs, I liked those too. I have respect and admiration for Uncle Cash, but there's no way I'm going to listen to two and three-quarters hours of him. It's a good thing the recording doesn't include a conversation between the attendant and the curtain raiser about modern contraception. Anyway, it was a good way to get back to the music of the 60s and 70s. Next up were Velvet Underground; Canned Heat; Jefferson Airplane; George Baker Selection; CCR; Donovan;, The Baytovens; Ray Charles; Question Mark and The Mysterians; Blue Cheer; Elmore James; Can; Bob Dylan; Small Faces; Sir Douglas Quintet and Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. Fortunately I've managed to get the artificial stupidity down that diversity is my raison d'être.
Depressing monotone voice to a basic boom-chuck or waltztime guitar rhythm. Not even my parents listened to this growing up, I guess you needed to be full blown Montana hick to fully embrace and toe tap along to this one. Sorry, its just not for me.
As good as the water at Folsom Prison.
Live album - automatic 1 (Yes, I did actually listen to it)
I don’t like live albums
Sometimes simplicity is best, but in this case it is just boring.
Live albums + greatest hits = cheating = 1 star
Most country really doesn't do it for me, especially the overly simple bass rhythm give all the tracks a very uninteresting vibe. And although I quite like Johnny cash's singing, the live recording with the audience chiming in like a if it all was a sitcom makes this feel more like disconnected sections of a comedy audiobook than an album.
neeeein man
couldn't wait for it to finish. just not a country fan.
Hated it. Lasted 2 tracked before I switched off Tidal.
Hated it. As if Johnny Cash studio recordings weren't bad enough, it's even worse live. Don't get it at all.
This is one of my favorite albums to sit through. I love the energy he brings to the show, and you can feel the electricity in the air there. The announcements and banter make it all more special.
Tremendu!
Dark as the Dungeon is hilarious Surprisingly entertaining audience and performance
