''American III: Solitary Man'' is the third album in the American series by Johnny Cash released in 2000 (and his 85th overall album). The album was notable for being Cash's highest charting (#11 Country) solo studio LP since his 1976 ''One Piece at a Time'', an album that reached No. 2 Country based on the title cut. To the present day, Cash's studio albums for the American series have continued to sell and chart extremely well, as evidenced by the platinum #22 POP, #2 C&W ''American IV: The Man Comes Around'' (released one year before his death) and the gold, #1 on both charts, ''American V: A Hundred Highways''. Between ''Unchained'' and ''Solitary Man'', Cash's health declined due to various ailments, and he was even hospitalized for pneumonia, and the illness forced him to curtail his touring. The album ''American III: Solitary Man'' contained Cash's response to his illness, typified by a version of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down", as well as a version of U2's "One". Changes to Cash's voice due to his health problems are noticeable on most tracks when compared to his most recent preceding albums. ''American III: Solitary Man'', just like Cash's two previous albums produced by Rick Rubin, was a Grammy winner, taking home the award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for Cash's version of the Neil Diamond classic "Solitary Man". Cash continued to receive critical appreciation for his American series of albums — on aggregate review site Metacritic.com the third album in Cash's American series received a score of 80 (despite middling reviews from publications such as L.A. Weekly and Rolling Stone magazine).〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 title=Johnny Cash: American III: Solitary Man )〕 ==Track listing== #"I Won't Back Down" (Tom Petty/Jeff Lynne) – 2:09 #:Originally recorded by Petty for ''Full Moon Fever'' (1989) #"Solitary Man" (Neil Diamond) – 2:25 #:Originally recorded by Diamond as a single (1966) #"That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)" (Haven Gillespie/Beasley Smith) – 2:35 #:Originally a hit for Frankie Laine (1949) #"One" (Bono, Adam Clayton, The Edge, Larry Mullen) – 3:53 #:Originally recorded by U2 for ''Achtung Baby'' (1991) #"Nobody" (Egbert Williams) – 3:14 #:Originally recorded by Williams in 1906 #"I See a Darkness" (Will Oldham) – 3:42 #:Originally recorded by Oldham for ''I See a Darkness'' (1999) #"The Mercy Seat" (Nick Cave/Mick Harvey) – 4:35 #:Originally recorded by Cave for ''Tender Prey'' (1988) #"Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)" (David Allan Coe) – 2:41 #:Originally recorded by Tanya Tucker for the album of the same name (1974) #"Field of Diamonds" (Cash, Jack Routh) – 3:15 #:Originally recorded by Cash and Waylon Jennings for ''Heroes'' (1986) #"Before My Time" (Cash) – 2:55 #"Country Trash" (Cash) – 1:47 #:Originally recorded by Cash for ''Any Old Wind That Blows'' (1973) #"Mary of the Wild Moor" (Dennis Turner) – 2:32 #:Originally recorded by The Louvin Brothers for ''Tragic Songs of Life'' (1956) #"I'm Leavin' Now" (Cash) – 3:07 #:Originally recorded by Cash for ''Rainbow'' (1985) #"Wayfaring Stranger" (Traditional) – 3:19 #:Old folk song previously recorded by countless artists 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American III: Solitary Man」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
