There are musicians, and there are classics; artists whose work endures for generations.

And then, there are icons. Legends. Those irreplaceable, indelible few who achieve true immortality. Those peerless masters whose legacy is undebatable.

And above all these icons sits Johnny Cash.

His career began with Elvis and ended with Arcade Fire’s second album. He covered Nine Inch Nails, collaborated with Bob Dylan and U2, and even made it into a Tony Hawk
soundtrack. His baritone voice and trademark railroad shuffle are sacraments of music history. But was there any guess upon his third album in 1958 that his career would be so enduring, or rather, eternal? Who can say? But there’s definitely a mastery about this album befitting his legacy.
