Editorial Review:
The first four songs on Unchained come from the songbooks of Beck, Don Gibson, Soundgarden, and Jimmie Rodgers. What might look like absurdly unsupportable eclecticism in other artists, of course, is pretty much standard stuff for Cash. Unchained is hardly standard, though; it's more like the best album he's made since his 1984 departure from Columbia Records. Not only is this a stack of songs perfectly and idiosyncratically suited to the man, they're given door-rattling backing treatment by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, who prove as fitting for Cash's music as his own Tennessee Two was back in the day. --Rickey Wright
Out of print in the U.S.! Two years on from his triumphant comeback album, American Recordings, 1996's Unchained took the blueprint of it's predecessor and added Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers to the mix along with Marty Stuart, Lindsay Buckingham, Flea and many others. The results were just as fantastic, adding a different dimension and fullness to the overall sound, but maintaining the mood and atmosphere that made American Recordings such a treasure. Songs written by Petty, Chris Cornell and Beck rub shoulders with a handful of Johnny originals. Warner.

Rating: - Cash Unchained
If any artist did not have anything to prove in their later years, it was Johnny Cash. If any artist went out with a spectacular farewell, it was Cash and the several American Recording CD sessions he had.

Rating: - JC - Unchained
Love, love, love it!! I love everything about Johnny Cash!! His last 10 years of work are by far my favorite and this album is one of one them!
Rating:  - Memories are made of this
I am not a fan of country music but I will make the exception with Johnny Cash who managed to transcend country music. I didn't really get into him until I heard American IV: The Man Comes Around with his haunting interpretation of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt". Since then I have made it a point to try to hear all of Johnny's work with Rick Rubin. I have to admit that "American IV" remains my personal favorite. Sadly to say "Unchained". I felt this album was not as strong as the last two albums Johnny did ... Read More
Rating: - I never picked cotton either, but this is a great CD
Great! I think this is a great and anyone should buy it. it is really moving, and Tom Petty is simply wonderful supporting in some songs. The only one i didn't really like was Memories are Made of This. But other than that itis a must have
Rating: - Anything with Johnny Cash is Good.
I can never get enough of his voice. I miss him.
