Album Notes & Community Reviews

Johnny Cash broadens his signature boom-chicka-boom sound by integrating prominent saxophone, varied percussion, and covers of contemporary Bob Dylan songs. The inclusion of folk-oriented material alongside traditional country narratives helped bridge the gap between Nashville and the emerging folk-rock movement.
