16 Biggest Hits by Johnny Cash

Pros: A solid collection of his best-known tunes.

Cons: Can one album ever really give the listener enough of this man?

The Bottom Line: The country music artist that left the barnyard and the bar to become an international celebrity. The most entertaining C&W star I've heard thus far.

Review: I guess I ought to devote a chapter to J.R. Cash before I get too far into other more obscure and less worthy country artists. It’s kind of a respect thing, I guess, for what other country artist can lay claim to Cash’s throne in terms of having ...

Pros: One of the few truly great musicians ever

Cons: It's embarrassing to admit I like country music

Review: If all country music sounded like Johnny Cash, there would never have been a Woodstock, Lollapalooza, or the Warped Tour. You wouldn't need it: Johnny Cash is the original punk rocker, the Man in Black who flipped the world the bird in "Rolling...

Pros: Some of the very best

Cons: Just a perfect album

Review: Johnny Cash is really one of the favorite singers around along with the likes of George Jones, Willie Nelson and Johnny Paycheck, when it comes to singing songs that they can all relate too. Broken hearts and drinking and the jail scene. Johnny just sang...

Pros: it's johnny cash, it's a lot of his best songs.

Cons: not *nearly* everything is on here, but this will certainly urge you to explore the world of Johnny Cash further...

Review: Sure, you can probably find all his songs on mp3 but if you're looking for a great place to start, this is one of his many "greatest hits" type of compilations you could be looking into buying.

16 Biggest Hits features favorites like...

Pros: It's Johnny Cash

Cons: You might be tempted to get drunk and rob a liquor store

Review: Whadya mean you have to read a review of this first to see if it's any good? It's Johnny Cash! What are you thinking? The title says it right on it: 16 Biggest Hits. I'd call that pretty transparent. About all one needs to do in practical terms is flip...

Pros: Root of Country Music

Cons: None

Review: Johnny Cash is rated very high on my list in country music. His album is mostly like the ones of days gone by. He is a man that sings from the heart and sings of things of truth. He shares much of his life with us through his music. He lets us know he...

Pros: You don't even need to be a Cash fan to enjoy his powerful music.

Cons: As much as I love this CD, there really isn't enough hits.

Review: Johnny Cash is arguably the greatest story teller to ever write country music. Whether its the Ballad of Ira Hayes or A Boy Named Sue, you've got to appreciate Cash's unique lyrics. He can make you cry one song and laugh the next. For this ...

Pros: Has most of his hits

Cons: Two of my favorites are missing

The Bottom Line: Johnny Cash was a true country original--he was an innovator and gave a voice to the voiceless.

Review: I first heard of country superstar back in 1967 when my parents ordered a greatest hits collection by him (a different one from the one I'm reviewing here). I was drawn to Cash's unique sound and his expressive low voice. Johnny was one of the few ...

Pros: They're 16 great songs

Cons: Sound quality; skeptical that these are the best recordings

Review:
I've had a hankering lately to hear the Man in Black sing "Ring of Fire." Not sure what brought it up, really. Just a dim memory of it being a masterful song, one that I haven't heard in quite some time.

So last night, I picked...
