I'll start by echoing quite a bit of what I've read so far on other reviews. I do love the June & Johnny original recordings...I've built quite the collection over the past 10 years or so. I just saw the movie last night, put it off for a while because I was afraid I'd be disappointed. Definitely NOT the case. I was most impressed by Joaquin's & Reese's renditions of these songs. Several artists have done Cash covers & most of them I like just as much as the originals - not AS the originals, but as covers. Just take Social Distortion for example - NOTHING like Cash, but a great version of an old favorite. This soundtrack will be my next purchase, not in place of Cash/Carter originals, but as yet another tribute/compilation cd.
