TheSavageYoungXyzzy Holy fucking shit.

It's... it's just not even worth talking about. You have to experience it.

Sir Stonesalot I know how you feel.

I listened to the whole thing yesterday after I got home from work. The last note spilled out of my earphones at a little after 2AM.

And the BOOK!!! Holy SHIT! It's worth buying the box just for the damn book. The picture of Joe Strummer, with his head laid on Johnny's chest...like he was trying to get as close to Johnny's heart as possible....ugh. What a hella good picture. I'm gonna email the photographer and see how much a full sized print would cost. I NEED to have one.

Someday I'd like to meet Rick Rubin and shake his hand. Rick has done some fine work in his career, but this absolutely has to be his highlight. It was such a simple thought...just let Johnny sing songs, and focus the production on his voice...put that amazing voice to the very front. There could be no music at all and the voice would still make the songs beautiful. Still, having Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Red Devils as your backing band ain't a bad idea either. And I liked pretty much all of the duets too.

Look y'all, ifn santa didn't bring you the Johnny Cash "Unearthed" box set, go get it. I know, it's really expensive. Bite the bullet and get it anyway. Beg, borrow, or steal. This is a must have.
