This album was finished in Aug of 2002 I believe. With June leaving in May of 2003, and now Johnny himself going, I can't help but feel that the man knew what was coming. Listen to Hurt while you think of the way Mr Cash lived. Listen to The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, and you can actually feel his love for June.
I sat in my truck for 30 minutes before going back into work because I had cried so hard. I can't think of any better review than that.

Pro Reviews: American IV: The Man Comes Around (Bonus Tracks)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Johnny Cash's fourth project with producer Rick Rubin continues on the same path as many of their previous releases: Cash's warm and rumbling baritone over minimal production and gentle duets with some surprising guests. One of the things that sets American IV: The Man Comes Around apart from the others is Cash's song selections. The success he experienced with his previous interpretations of contemporary songwriters (Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage," Nick Cave's "The Mercy Seat") is applied to this album with varying degrees of success. His throaty reading of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" easily fits into his "Man in Black" persona, and the spiritual conviction underlying Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" is certainly powerful. Unfortunately, the inclusion of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (featuring a lost- sounding Fiona Apple) and a passionless snooze through the Beatles' "In My Life" should have been so much stronger (given the subject matter of both songs and Cash's prolific life story). One of the reasons his previous covers were so successful is that in the past he had chosen some pretty obscure songs (Bonnie Prince Billy's "I See a Darkness" and Beck's "Rowboat," to name a couple) and reinterpreted them with his unique perspective and unmistakable voice. However, there is really no need to hear his versions of the Irish standard "Danny Boy" or the clunky rendition of Sting's "I Hung My Head," since something about them just doesn't fit -- either Cash wasn't entirely comfortable with the song or the performance was never fully realized. Luckily, the new songs Cash wrote for the album are pretty strong, and his cover of the standard "We'll Meet Again" is among the best versions of the song ever recorded. It is a relief to hear that although Cash's voice is clearly older and not the booming powerhouse it was in the earlier Sun and Columbia days, he's still got some punch left in him, and the wisdom he's gained in his later life seeps through between the grooves, revealing a man who has lived through it all and lived to tell the tale. - Zac Johnson, All Music Guide |

He starts of with a song writen by himself about Judgment day, and the man himself going around and judging fear and hard. The last song is "We'll Meet Again" and I could not hold my tears back when I heard him sing it.
Not only do he sing his own songs on this record, but he sings songs of masters like Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Depeche Mode, The Eagles and Hank Williams. But Cash sings them as they were his own, and when you listen you do not remember that someone else has done them before.
If you don't have any other Johnny Cash album, please buy this one at least. ...
