Lingamish is asking what book, movie and album he should buy with his birthday money.
So my suggestions…
Album: American V – A Hundred Highways Johnny Cash
Released in 2006 after Cash’s death the quality of the vocal is fantastic. Many of the tracks Cash had to record this in short chunks, a couple of lines at a time, stopping to rest in-between.
Film: Bobby
Book: True Tales of American Life Paul Auster
Published in 2001, this is book is edited by Auster. It came about after he invited listeners to an American radio talk show to write in with their own short stories. He had 4000 plus entries, this book is a collection of many of them.
Thanks for these ideas!
Journeyman, it’s hard to go wrong with ANYTHING by the late Johnny Cash. We all owe Rick Rubin a huge thanks for the entire America I -V series.Thanks to Rubin, Cash was able to go out on top-songs like “Hurt” and “Personal Jesus” were getting airplay on alternative rock stations where I live near Minneapolis, Minnesota.
