Johnny Cash - American IV: Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash released American IV: The Man Comes Around in 2002, his fourth chapter in his 'American' series of albums. It features his iconic covers of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" and Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" and his original "The Man Comes Around".

In the early '90s, Johnny Cash signed to Rick Rubin's American label and began releasing the American Recordings series of albums. Produced by Rubin, the American Recordings were stark, stripped-down, mostly acoustic meditations on the more apocalyptic side of his persona. Cash covered Beck, Nick Cave, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Soundgarden, Danzig, and, of course, Nine Inch Nails. In the process, he cemented his reputation as one of the reigning badasses in American music history — not that that rep really needed much help.

Heavyweight double vinyl produced by American Recordings in 2014.
