“Everybody Loves A Nut” by Johnny Cash - album review
| features in: Album Chart of 1966 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1960s |
The first of two JC albums in 1966 sees him continue down the concept line, this one opting for the comedic “Saturday night variety” slant. It’s not too bad… although I don’t think I laughed once. For the second album in a row (having previously covered “25 Minutes To Go”) Cash covers a Shel Silvestein, this time with “Boa Constrictor”. It’s nowhere near as vital, and perhaps sums up the album as a whole. Elsewhere, “Austin Prison” is a re-recorded version of the song which had appeared on “Songs Of Our Soil" in 1959. Passmarks… but, all the same, an alarming 2 point fall from last year’s magnificent “Ballads of the True West” LP…
