American III: Solitary Man
Splendid said that “the covers on American III will attract the majority of listener attention; Cash’s own material steals the show.” Jim DeRogatis of The Chicago Sun-Times wrote that it as “arguably the strongest of his American Recordings” with the series’ “single best performance and most inspired cover choice via Cash’s rendition of the Death Row anthem ‘The Mercy Seat‘ by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.”
American Recordings, one of Cash’s towering classics, was all devotion and doubt, a brilliant, raw-boned meditation on redemption and death.
