“Rusty Cage” — Johnny Cash (Irving Plaza, New York City, July 9, 1996)

In keeping with the current theme here and over at It’s Great To Be Alive, here’s some heavy Cash from ‘96 in NYC.  The Man in Black’s latter-day work, masterminded by mad professor Rick Rubin, is a serendipitous marriage of 90’s grunge rock angst and Cash’s own long-cultivated, shadowy sensibilities.  To call Rubin the white Quincy Jones at this point is beyond understatement; his honorable enshrinement at the Kennedy Center should be one of Obama’s top first-term priorities.
