Ain't No Grave August 4, 2010 Sonia Frances
Excellent album. Moving, moody - I only wish it was longer. Stand out tracks:
1 Corinthians & Redemption Day. The whole 'American Recordings' series is excellent and this is a fitting finale.
In my world, this didn't happen April 16, 2010 seun (England) 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
As much as it pains me to say it, American 6 should not have been released. Johnny Cash made some of the most honest and unpretentious music of his career with the American albums. He also made what amount to forgettable B-sides, and these B-sides have been thrown together with very little care by people who are either doing it purely for the money or because they think American 5 was not a superb end to a classic series.
This is a weak collection with only the title track and a Sheryl Crow cover showing any promise. Of course, Johnny Cash was extremely ill when recording these songs but even so, they're a poor representation of the man's power and talent. It would have been far better and more respectful to do him the honour of leaving American 5 as what it was meant to be - his final recordings. This release should not have happened. Stick to the first five and let's pretend the music industry hasn't once again proved what a money-hungry machine it is.
American VI - Johnny Cash April 9, 2010 P. Brown (Britain) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this for my dad who has been a Johnny Cash fan for years. After listening to it my dad advised it was a great cd particularly for those ardent fans of the Man In Black. My dad thought the album was a fitting ending to the memory of Johnny Cash. Although advised anyone new to his music may wish to start with earlier material like 'Ring of Fire', 'San Quentin' or the 'The Baron'.

The final record? April 7, 2010 Yves Bouwen (Herenthout, Belgium) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
A sticker on the cover states this is Johnny Cash last studio album. Let's hope it is. Of all posthumously released albums this is the weakest. There are not real suprises on it and the production is boring. It does not add anything to the great catalogue Cash build up in his life. Let's listen to all those great records and enjoy it.
