By 2000, Johnny Cash was running out of time. He was sick, and it was starting to tug at his once powerful voice. But he was driven to continue working, by his wife June, producer Rick Rubin, and mostly by himself. American III was the third of the six American albums series. It was also the second to last studio album released during his lifetime. He was no longer touring, but he was still one tough hombre. On this album, he growls out songs of stubbornness and defiance, culling from artists who listened to him as kids that wrote in styles once unfamiliar to Cash. But Johnny had been proving for years that he didn’t care what kind of artist you were…he could cover your damned song. And indeed, late in his career especially, Cash had become an expert interpreter.
He takes on Tom Petty (“I Won’t Back Down”), Neil Diamond (“Solitary Man”) and U2 (“One”) with relative ease. He’s also not afraid of the likes of Will Oldham and Nick Cave. But this isn’t just Cash taking on youngsters. He also reaches back to older days with “That Lucky Old Sun” and the even older “Nobody” (from 1906). The traditional “Wayfaring Stranger” is in good hands, as is David Allan Coe’s “Field Of Stone”. In the second half, he even reaches back into his own catalog with re-recordings of three songs he wrote himself. Petty joins in on the opener, and even Merle Haggard shows up to sing on “I’m Leavin’ Now”. The next album would be a bigger hit (thanks to “Hurt”), but don’t sleep on American III. This is Cash at his older but still driven best. A sleeping classic of an album. [First added to this chart: 05/03/2025]
