 This is the fourth in Rick Rubin’s series of “American Recordings,” featuring the Man in Black. It may go down in history as the strangest collection of covers ever recorded, from Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and The Beatles’ “In My Life” to Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” and Nine Inch Nail’s “Hurt.” Despite guest appearances by Don Henley, Fiona Apple and Nick Cave, it is Cash’s iconic voice, as rich and deep as bedrock, that still commands attention—even at the ripe old age of 70.
