''Unchained'', also known as ''American II: Unchained'', is the second album in Johnny Cash's American Recording series (and his 82nd overall). Like all Cash's albums for American, ''Unchained'' was produced by Rick Rubin. In contrast to the first ''American Recordings'' album, on which Cash played alone, on the follow-up he is backed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, with guest appearances by Flea, bassist from Red Hot Chili Peppers, on "Spiritual", and Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood, both of Fleetwood Mac, on "Sea of Heartbreak". ''Unchained'' focuses more on covers and less on original material than the first album in the series. In addition to three of Cash's own compositions, ''Unchained'' contained songs by Tom Petty ("Southern Accents"), Soundgarden ("Rusty Cage") and Beck ("Rowboat"), The album also included a cover of the classic 1962 Hank Snow song, "I've Been Everywhere", written by Geoff Mack, and remakes of two songs Cash recorded early in his career for Sun Records: "Country Boy" and "Mean Eyed Cat". In comparison with the country folk sound of Cash's other American Recordings' albums this one has more of a hard, true country rock sound. The album was recorded over a six-month period with engineer Sylvia Massy at Sound City Studios, Ocean Way Studios, Rick Rubin's home studio and The Cowboy Arms And Recording Spa in Nashville, Tennessee. ''Unchained'' received a Grammy for Best Country Album and Cash was nominated for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for his version of ''Rusty Cage''. ==Track listing== # "Rowboat" (Beck) – 3:44 #:Originally recorded by Beck for ''Stereopathetic Soulmanure'' (1994) # "Sea of Heartbreak" (Paul Hampton, Hal David) – 2:42 #:Originally a hit single for Don Gibson (1961) # "Rusty Cage" (Chris Cornell) – 2:49 #:Originally recorded by Soundgarden for ''Badmotorfinger'' (1991) # "The One Rose (That's Left in My Heart)" (Del Lyon/Lani McIntire) – 2:26 #:Originally recorded in 1930 by Jimmie Rodgers, also recorded by Larry Clinton, Bing Crosby, Art Kassel (all 3 in 1937), George Morgan, Hank Snow, and Michael Nesmith (1970) # "Country Boy" (Cash) – 2:31 #:Originally recorded by Cash for Sun, appears on ''With His Hot and Blue Guitar'' (1957) # "Memories Are Made of This" (Richard Dehr/Terry Gilkyson/Frank Miller) – 2:19 #:Originally a hit single by Dean Martin and The Easy Riders (1956) # "Spiritual" (Josh Haden) – 5:06 #:Originally recorded by Spain for ''The Blue Moods of Spain'' (1995) # "The Kneeling Drunkard's Plea" (Maybelle Carter/Anita Carter/Helen Carter/June Carter Cash) – 2:32 #:Originally recorded by The Louvin Brothers for ''Satan Is Real'' (1960) # "Southern Accents" (Tom Petty) – 4:41 #:Originally recorded by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers for ''Southern Accents'' (1985) # "Mean Eyed Cat" (Cash) – 2:33 #:Originally recorded by Cash for Sun, appears on ''Sings Hank Williams'' (1960) # "Meet Me in Heaven" (Cash) – 3:21 # "I Never Picked Cotton" (Bobby George/Charles Williams) – 2:39 #:Originally recorded by Roy Clark for ''I Never Picked Cotton'' (1970) # "Unchained" (Jude Johnstone) – 2:51 #:Later recorded by Johnstone for ''Coming of Age'' (2002) # "I've Been Everywhere" (Geoff Mack) – 3:17 #:Originally a hit single by Lucky Starr (1959) and Hank Snow (1962) 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「Unchained (Johnny Cash album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
