Salt Peanuts Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I recently picked up couple albums from Johnny Cash's American Recording series (specifically, III and IV). I was excited about it as I've been meaning to get them for a while. To my dissapointment, both albums sounded terrible, sounding really "hot" at many places with distortions. My questions is, are there good versions of the American Recording series? I really want to listen to them, but I just can't get over the distortions.

Dusty Chalk Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Don't know, but wouldn't be surprised if there isn't -- Rick Rubin produced them, and he's usually a hard rock/heavy metal producer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Damn, that's not what I wanted to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 They are all available on vinyl, so that may be an option. Having said that I do not recall that III and IV were recorded that hot. I'll have to go back and listen to them as its been a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFF Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 They can probably be fixed a bit but you never know how it may come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
