:''This article is about the Johnny Cash album. For the record label which released the album, see'' American Recordings (record label) ''American Recordings'' is the 81st album by the country singer Johnny Cash. It was released in April 1994 by the American Recordings label, after it had changed its name from Def American. == Background == Cash was approached by producer Rick Rubin and offered a contract with Rubin's American Recordings label, better known for rap and heavy metal than for country music. Under Rubin's supervision, he recorded the album in his living room, accompanied only by his guitar. For years Cash had often been at odds with his producers after he had discovered with his first producer, Sam Phillips, that his voice was better suited to a stripped-down musical style. Most famously he disagreed with Jack Clement over his sound, Clement having tried to give Cash's songs a "twangy" feel and to add strings and barbershop-quartet-style singers, and his successful collaboration with Rick Rubin was in part due to Rubin seeking a minimalist sound for his songs. The songs "Tennessee Stud" and "The Man Who Couldn't Cry" were recorded live at the Viper Room, a Sunset Strip, Los Angeles nightclub owned at the time by Johnny Depp. "The Beast in Me" was written and originally recorded by Cash's former stepson-in-law Nick Lowe. Glenn Danzig wrote "Thirteen" specifically for Cash in less than twenty minutes. The album cover was photographed whilst Cash was visiting Australia, at Werribee near Melbourne. 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 Recordings (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
