I heard that it is ok but illustrates the rut he was in before Rubin kind of revived his enthusiasm for recording. Cash has a distinctive style but some of his 1970s and 80s material was ponderous. A singer needs good material and sympathetic musicians and producers
I listened to it the other day, just once so far. My favorite track is the version of Drive On, but that’s a song where we already had a finished version released earlier.
