Johnny Cash is one of the most imposing
and influential figures in the history of music. Emotional and real, his
deep baritone voice and percussive guitar style created a bridge among
various genres of music and earned him induction into the Country Music
Hall of Fame, the Rock ? Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of
Fame. Johnny Cash’s greatness has been recognised by a new generation of
fans and a contemporary legion of musicians. Reinterpreting classic songs
penned by U2, Nick Cave, and Soundgarden among others, his ‘American Recordings’
series has only reinforced his true status as a living legend. This special
collection includes two programs--"Johnny Cash: The Anthology" (54 min.)
and "Half Mile a Day" (89 min.)
--which detail the incredible six-decade
career of this 10-time Grammy winning artist through performances, rare
archival footage and photos. A host of stars including Judy Collins, Carl
Perkins, Willie Nelson, Billy Bob Thornton, Kris Kristofferson, Jerry Lee
Lewis, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Marty Stuart, Glen Campbell, George
Jones and Sam Phillips all pay tribute to The Man In Black, Johnny Cash.
Scoring over 100 hit singles during hi career, “Johnny Cash: The Anthology”
takes viewers on a journey which begins with the 1950’s hit “Cry, Cry Cry”
and continues through the 1990’s classic “Bird On A Wire”. Thanks to: http://www.hmv.com.au

HET UUR VAN DE WOLF
Johnny Cash in Folsom Prison, January
13th, 1968
FMT-LTE11DVD
UK COMMENT:
Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison explores
the historical context of Johnny Cash's seminal concert album, "Johnny
Cash at Folsom Prison." Based on writer Michael Streissguth's acclaimed
book Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison: The Making of a Masterpiece, the program
weaves compelling interviews with archival photography – enhanced for broadcast
by "extrapolation technique" – to evoke the spirit of that momentous day
on Jan. 13, 1968 when Johnny Cash appeared on stage at Folsom Prison. Participants
include Rosanne Cash, band member Marty Stuart, and relatives of inmate/singer
Glen Sherley, who famously wrote "Greystone Chapel" for Cash.
DUTCH COMMENT:
Een briljante documentaire is het niet,
maar het is natuurlijk onmogelijk om over een man met de pr?sence en het
charisma van de zanger Johnny Cash, de ‘Man in Black’ van de countrymuziek
en all round muzieklegende, een oninteressante film te maken. Ook met gebreken
is Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison daarom de moeite waard.
Regisseur Bestor Cram reconstrueert het
onstaan van de beroemde album Live at Folsom Prison, een registratie van
het concert dat Cash in 1968 gaf voor de gevangenen in de zwaarbewaakte
Folsom Prison. In die tijd deed het verhaal de ronde dat Cash zelf een
tijd achter de tralies had gezeten, maar dat was mythevorming.
Cash hoopte met de opnamen op deze ongebruikelijke
plek ook gewoon op een hit. Een oud-bandlid maakt ononwonden duidelijk
dat hij op dat moment in zijn carri?re een come back nodig had. Maar dat
er sprake was van een oprechte connectie tussen de zanger en de gevangenisbevolking,
maakt de film meer dan duidelijk, voor zover de plaat zelf dat al niet
had gedaan. Cash’ stoere buitenkant, ernst en cynische humor raakten
een snaar bij de gevangenen. De klik was wederzijds. Schreef zijn toenmalige
schoonzoon Nick Lowe het lijfnummer ‘The Beast in Me’ niet met de basbariton
van Cash in gedachten, met daarin de veelzeggende regel: ,,The beast in
me/ is caged by frail and fragile bars.”
Cash kon bij zijn concert putten uit de
rijke traditie van countrysongs over het leed van een gevangenisstraf.
En hij had zelf jaren eerder al zijn klassieker Folsom Prison Blues geschreven,
overigens op een melodie van een ander nummer, Crescent City Blues,
die hij had gestolen. Die prachtsong met waarschijnlijk de mooiste regel
uit de gehele popmuziek – ‘I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die’
– was echter niet gebaseerd op eigen waarneming, maar op een gevangenisfilm
die diepe indruk op hem had gemaakt, Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison.
Onder de gevangenen van Folsom bevond zich
een niet onverdienstelijke zanger en liedjesschrijver (tevens pleger van
gewapende overvallen) Glenn Sherley. De interessantste verhaallijn in Johnny
Cash at Folsom Prison beschrijft de relatie tussen Cash en Sherley, die
op voorsprak van Cash vrijkwam en door de zanger mee op tournee werd genomen,
maar zijn demonen uiteindelijk niet de baas kon.
De film laat ook een ex-gevangene aan het
woord en een oud-bewaarder. Jammer dat de film daarnaast ook gewoon de
biografie van Cash weer eens langsloopt, van zijn armoedige jeugd in Arkansas,
zijn dienstjaren in Duitsland en zijn ontdekking door Sam Philips van Sun
Records in Memphis. Was toch bij het thema Cash, gevangenis en country
gebleven, dat is meer dan genoeg en dan was de film sterker geweest.
Verbijsterend genoeg bestaan er geen beeldopnamen
van het legendarische concert, wel veel fascinerende zwart-wit foto’s,
waar de film rijkelijk uit put. Nog voor je een noot van hem hoeft te horen,
zie je aan die foto’s al: hier staat iemand. De animatiefilmpjes die sommige
songs begeleiden, met letterlijke illustraties van de tekst, zijn aan de
knullige kant. Het meest filmische in deze film zijn de songs van Johnny
Cash: wat kon die man verhalen vertellen.

the best film of 2005, 4 September 2005
Author: Jim Hemphill (sjhemphill@msn.com)
from Los Angeles, CA
I've long thought that James Mangold was
one of the most underrated American directors; while other acclaimed auteurs
like Wes Anderson and David Gordon Green have made names for themselves
by essentially repeating themselves with each film, Mangold has attracted
considerably less attention for actually having the gall to show some range.
Like the great directors of the Hollywood studio system, Mangold shows
visual and narrative skill across a wide array of genres: character-driven
crime (COPLAND); horror (IDENTITY); issue-oriented drama (GIRL INTERRUPTED),
etc. What each of these films shares in common is a stunningly elegant
and expressive visual style, an attention to character reminiscent of Renoir,
and an economy of storytelling that would make Howard Hawks envious.
Now Mangold has delivered his masterpiece,
and it's the best studio release I've seen so far this year. WALK THE LINE,
Mangold's story of the relationship between Johnny Cash and June Carter,
is deliriously romantic, exhiliratingly entertaining (as a musical it invites
and earns comparison with the best of Vincente Minelli), and profoundly
moving--all set to a spectacular soundtrack. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese
Witherspoon are both brilliant as Cash and Carter, but not only in the
ways you would expect. Their most impressive achievement is to convincingly
portray two people falling in love in a manner that's sincere and sweet
but never cheaply sentimental. This is the most unabashedly romantic American
movie since THE NOTEBOOK, but it's totally authentic and lacking in melodrama;
the subtlety with which Mangold and his performers delineate the one step
forward, two steps back nature of Cash and Carter's love affair is staggering.
Phoenix is particularly brilliant, not only in the romantic scenes but
in moments in which Cash discusses his brother's early death; in these
scenes the major tragedies of both the character and the performer's lives
merge in a way that is heartbreakingly real. And the movie gets across
the intoxicating nature of creative collaboration between two people in
love better than any film I've ever seen--perhaps no coincidence given
that Mangold and his closest collaborator, producer Cathy Konrad, are married.
I could (and will) go on about this movie for hours, but let's just say
that it's the movie to beat for the rest of the year. |

THE LAST GREAT AMERICAN (DVDR)
BBC TV BROADCAST, FEB 27TH 2004
2004]
THE LAST GREAT AMERICAN (MPG VIDEO)
BBC Manchester Broadcast, Feb 27e, 2004
This extraordinary and affecting documentary
covers everything from Cash?s childhood roots to his early Sun recording
sessions to his drug-fueled days as a hell-raising outlaw to his commercial
rise and fall and finally to his stunning rebirth as an elderly troubadour
contemplating his own mortality.
The Man In Black would have been 73 this
year and, had he survived, likely still working on a career that spanned
four decades of American popular music. Johnny Cash sang with Elvis in
the 1950s, Dylan in the 1960s, and Bono in the 1990s, then was discovered
by yet another generation of fans through his work with Def Jam founder
and producer Rick Rubin in the last decade of his life. He was a complex
country singer bold enough to oppose the Vietnam War and caring enough
to play concerts for soldiers in the field. Rare early footage of him on
stage imitating Elvis reveals a seldom seen humorous side, and touching
interviews with family members and fellow musicians like Roseanne Cash,
Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, and Elvis Costello complete the portrait. |

TRENT REZNOR COMMENT ON COVERING 'HURT'
Johnny Cash did a stark cover of this
song with a striking video. In the video, the 71-year old Cash appears
very fragile as he sings this from his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
Cash wore no makeup, ? there was no attempt to make him look younger. Trent
Reznor was very impressed by Cash's take on his song ? quite moved by the
video (The Video) |
