I'm looking for Johnny Cash recommendations because I'm not certain which ones would really appeal to me. My first Cash CD that I purchased was At Folsom Prison, which floored me. The next CD that I bought after that was American VI: Ain't No Grave, which I thought was okay. I think what bothered me the most about American VI: Ain't No Grave is that it felt like it had a lot more to do with religion than At Folsom Prison, which isn't really my sort of thing. At Folsom Prison did have a few religious songs here and there, but it felt more balanced. I liked the songs Folsom Prison Blues, Cocaine Blues, 25 Minutes to Go, Long Black Veil, Jackson, and Legend of John Henry's Hammer the most on that CD. Can someone recommend me any of his other CD's that isn't too heavy with the religious aspect and is in a similar vein to some of the songs mentioned?
