"Licensed to Ill" - Yay.
What he did with Johnny Cash - Nay.

Sir Mix-a-lot has more released albums than I ever imagined.Mr. Hankey - I might try to remove that spot from my resume
He's so influential, even I've heard of him! Love the Johnny Cash stuff. Hurt, man, wow...

Just not my cup of tea KD, outside of "Delia's Gone." I prefer him when he was the boom-chicka-booming-pill-popping rockabilly cat, all dressed in black and bulletproof. Covering NIN? Seemed sort of gimmicky and desperate.
Likewise "Wildflowers." Those first three TP & The Heartbreaker albums - when he was still willing to give the band equal billing and when they sounded impatient to inherit the world - were something else. Everything since has fallen just this side of memorable. If I never hear "I Won't Back Down" or "Free Falling" again, I'm just fine with that.

Isn't there some sort of TP documentary (from Jonathan Demme?) out there, released a few years back? Anyone seen it? I heard it was good.
I love Wildflowers...I just don't pay attention to producers and things. I don't know if that's the girl in me, or the fact that I have no musical talent myself. It could be just because I am lazy.
I thought the NIN song was quite poignant and moving and a reflection on those pill-popping days (he went into rehab late in life also because he'd gotten hooked again on pain meds and that must be absolutely depressing as hell.)so it seemed really appropriate to me. Another reason I bought it was that it always seemed in his nature to appreciate what other people did, regardless of where it came from.That's my favorite JC era, I confess, although his voice was really in decline. Some people find it unlistenable because of that.
Me too. Again, the poignance! Like when you know a relative doesn't have too long to live so you're going to listen to those stories while you can.
I also like the Johnny Cash series. They picked some great songs.I didn't remember that he was involved with Car Wheels on a Gravel Road, but that's still my favorite Lucinda Williams.
