American Recordings: Covers And Originals

Another playlist to celebrate Spotify's expansion to the US, here are the songs Johnny Cash, one of the most distinctive voices of American music, covered on the American Recordings series he made with Rick Rubin, both the cover version and the originals.

It contains songs from all six volumes of the American Recordings release so far, and the Unearthed box-set. I put the Cash covers right after originals, including the songs that he covered himself, like Delia's Gone (though the first Cash recording of this song, which dates from 1962, is not yet on Spotify, the other early version in the compilation Legend sounds different enough to me to be included). For traditional songs like I'll Fly Away, I tried to use the earliest recorded versions available. In the case of Wichita Lineman, though it's first and most famously recorded by Glen Campbell, I think it's more interesting to use the author Jimmy Webb's own recording as the original. I also chose to use Cash's early recordings of Hank Williams songs as the "originals" here, if possible - I assume people who are interested in this playlist already know Hank Williams well enough.


I only kept the songs that I the originals could be found on Spotify, because the aim of this playlist is making it easier to compare the difference between interpretations, if you want to fully appreciate Cash's album on its own, click the album title and listen to it in its entirety. I highly recommend you to do that as well: A Singer of Songs from Unearthed, one of the most moving performance from the Man In Black, is not in this playlist (I don't even know if an original recording exists, is this a song written for Cash?).

Here's the Spotify playlist: Johnny Cash: American Recordings & The Originals (194 tracks, total time: 10 hours) If you find other original songs become available or want to recommend a more suitable version than the one I chose as original recording, please leave a comment. Thanks.

  2. If the middle part of the brow is at the highest point, it might be because the brow is too rounded, which can sometimes give off a surprised look, a 1920s makeup look or be reminiscent of clown makeup that's Cheap Ray Ban Glasses no joke.Demi's top brow is headed in the right direction; it just stops a little short of completing the frame.Step 2: From Michael Kors Outlet Store the center Nike Air Force 1 Cheap Outlet New Yeezys 2020 of the nose, align the pencil through the iris and on to where the brow would Coach Outlet Clearance be if there were hair there.

  7. A third thing to consider is to have an idea of what you think you would like before you begin browsing. There are literally tens of thousands of ringtones available through the Internet these days. Without at least a general idea of what type of ringtone you might like, you can spend days sifting through all sorts of locations trying to find the right ringtone. Do yourself a favor and make yourself a list of types that would be worth listening to, and then begin to look around.

    Don't feel you have to grab a ringtone from the first place you look. Bookmark any sites that have a ringtone that you really like, and write down the file name of the ringtone. This will allow you to continue looking around, but still be able to come back to any that have caught your attention. By process of elimination, you can then narrow down the list to one or two before you begin pressing download ringtone, and pretty much be assured of having at least one that you will enjoy for an extended period of time.

  8. A recent discussion among friends wondered if anyone really used ringtones anymore. The idea was that most people (those who still use their phones to hold verbal conversations) either go with whatever ringtone their phone comes with or just use vibrations.

    Once upon a time, ringtones were a thing. You could use them for amusement. (My favorite was a bored voice that said, “Ring. Ring. Ring.”) You could use them to know who was calling without having to look at the phone (so you knew when to pick up and when to let it go to voicemail). Now, maybe, not so much.

  9. UNLESS YOU SET your phone to silent most of the time (and honestly, who doesn't), you're going to be hearing your ringtone a lot, so it makes sense to choose one you like to listen to.

    Your phone will have come with a bunch of default ringtones, but you can actually use any audio clip you want. What's more, you can set different ringtones for different contacts, so you know who's calling without looking at your handset.

    But here's the thing: This used to be easy, no matter what type of phone you had. And it's still simple if you have an Android device, like a Samsung or Google Pixel phone. But if you have an iPhone, it's surprisingly complicated, with a bunch of steps that make you just want to not bother. Here's how to do it anyway, regardless of the device you own.

    iPhone
    To use a custom ringtone on an iPhone, it has to be in your Apple Music library. The audio file should have no digital rights management (DRM) protection attached to it, and it should be in either MP3 or MP4 format. We're not going to dive into a full audio editing guide here, but a free program like Audacity can help you create a clip pretty easily on either macOS or Windows—which, yes, means you'll need to use a desktop to make sure your song or sound file can be turned into a ringtone for your iPhone.

    You then need to fire up Apple Music on macOS, or download and install Apple Music for Windows, if it's not already on your computer. Use File then Import to add the ringtone file to your music library. Locate the track, right-click on it, choose Get Info, and then open the Options tab. Next to Start and Stop you need to specify when the ringtone audio begins and ends.
