American V: A Hundred Highways by Johnny Cash: Country/Americana. Released after Cash’s death, the songs have a feeling of death surrounding them concerned as they are with God, love and murder. You know the drill with the sound. Cash’s voice (though sounding weaker) is to the fore and sounds almost embarrassingly vulnerable, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and occasional other embellishments. TWH: Help Me; God’s Gonna Cut You Down; If You Could Read My Mind

Grade: B
