I’ve been listening to Johnny Cash’s American V: A Hundred Highways, and all I can say is “wow”.
From now on, if I ever meet up with anyone from an emo rock band, I’m making him or her listen to any of its tracks — perhaps the cover of Gordon Lightfoot’s If You Could Read My Mind — and say “Hear that, poseur? That is what heartbreak really sounds like.”

I’m really looking forward to picking up a copy of this CD. I once had the opportunity to perform Johnny Cash songs for inmates in prison and that story may be found here:

It inspired me to write this song:
