Various Look Again to the Wind - Johnny Cash's Bitter Tears Revisited (CD)

(Sony Music) 11 tracks, with 12 page booklet incl. all lyrics - with Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Kris Kristofferson , Bill Miller a.o.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Johnny Cash's legendary album 'Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian', country giants such as Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Bill Miller, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, as well as Norman Blake (guitarist and sole survivor of the original line-up of the 1964 album) present great new versions of the Man in Black's original songs.
The album is a milestone in Johnny Cash's discography and at the same time one of the most personal albums he has released in his extraordinarily successful career spanning almost half a century. It tells a haunting story of the marginalization and hardships of Native Americans in the history of the United States and has lost none of its fascination to this day.
