Thom Yorke cites this as a big inspiration for Radiohead circa OK Computer, and it's pretty much as wracked and intense as any of his own work. Cash's tales of the wrong side of tracks backed by the almost hypnotic location of the country/rock'n'roll intersection have surely never been received so heartily, or indeed so scarily, the atmosphere at times virtually overwhelming the musicianship. Live music at its most raw, Cash at his most fluid. Isn't it about time for a full, American Recordings-inclusive Cash Best Of, by the way?
