Johnny Cash's American Recordings

Tony Tost

This title offers a superb investigation of what is arguably Johnny Cash's greatest album, focusing on his enduring mythology. When Johnny Cash signed to Rick Rubin's record label in 1993, he was a country music legend who, like his fellow Highwaymen Willie, Waylon and Kris, remained a fondly regarded yet completely marginalized Nashville figure, unheard on the radio and unseen on the charts. Cash's odyssey from oldies act to folk hero pivots on his first American Recordings album, a document of almost unbearable solitude and directness. It is a singular record, an instance in which a musical giant has been granted a kind of midnight reprieve, a chance to regain and renew his legend. Tony Tost illuminates the ways in which American Recordings is the crossroads where cultural, spiritual and mythic archetypes come together in the figure of The Man in Black. Ultimately, this is a guidebook to myth and mystery, a means of apprehending the stark beauty of Cash's greatest record, the sound of a man alone and fighting for his soul, one song at a time.

Picasso - Poetesque

He was a surrealist artist, and in his earlier works painted in the neoclassical. 
Born in Spain, he escaped Franco's regime by being in exile in France. 
Some of his cubist art may have been influenced by his knowledge of the atrocities committed during 
the Spanish Civil war, especially in his Masterpiece Guernica.

Short extract from book 
Let’s get rid of a few myths. There’s no set way to create a melody. 
This is True and at the same time Not true. But only in the minds of those people that know everything ? 
Pupil says to mentor, “I know you’re going to teach me how to write better songs, but how do I come up with the actual melody?” 
The mentor turns to the pupil and says. “Well, that’s the million dollar question. I wish I could just say, ‘sit there with your guitar do this, and out will pop a melody’. But unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a magic formula”. 
This isn’t true. Let’s blow the other myth out of the water. The one where they say composing cannot be taught. Well, I’ve just learned you how to create 2 HIT vocal melodies in examples 1 and 2 another vocal melody in less than 15 seconds in example three and 2 more in the challenge.
