American 4: The Man Comes Effectually is a studio album by Johnny Cash. It was released on November v, 2002, by American Recordings and Universal Records. Information technology is the 4th in Cash'south "American" series of albums, and the last anthology released during his lifetime, and is considered some of his finest work towards the end of his life. The album was also included in the volume 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Dice.^[12]

Groundwork [edit]

The majority of songs are covers which Cash performs in his own sparse style, with help from producer Rick Rubin. For case, for the song "Personal Jesus", Rubin asked Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante to re-piece of work an acoustic version of Martin Gore's song, which featured a simple acoustic riff that stripped down the vocal to a blues style. He receives backing vocal assistance from various artists, including Fiona Apple, Nick Cave, and Don Henley.

American IV was the final album Johnny Cash released during his lifetime; though the Unearthed box set was compiled prior to his death, with Cash choosing the tracks and writing liner notes. American IV: The Man Comes Around was Cash's first non-compilation album to become gold in thirty years. Additionally, the anthology won "Album of the Year" honor at the 2003 CMA Awards. It was certified gold on March 24, 2003 and platinum on November 21, 2003 by the Recording Manufacture Clan of America, the offset not-compilation album of Cash's to do so since the early on 1970s.

The video for "Hurt," a song written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and originally released in 1994, was nominated in seven categories at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards and won the award for All-time Cinematography. In 2003, mere days earlier his 71st altogether, Cash won a Grammy for "Give My Love to Rose", a song Cash had originally recorded in the late 1950s. Greenbacks was too nominated that year for Best State Collaboration with Vocals for his "Bridge over Troubled Water" cover with Fiona Apple tree. The music video for "Hurt" also won the award for All-time Short Class Video in 2004.

Ix Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor admitted that he was initially "flattered" but worried that "the idea of Cash covering 'Hurt' sounded a bit gimmicky," but when he heard the vocal and saw the video for the first time, Reznor said he was deeply moved and found Cash's cover beautiful and meaningful, going as far as to say "that song isn't mine anymore."^[thirteen]

Graeme Thomson, in The Resurrection of Johnny Cash: Hurt, Redemption, and American Recordings, has discussed concern virtually Cash's wellness during the recording. Cash was suffering from multiple health bug and had lost most of his vision, with recording sessions interrupted by hospital stays. Thompson quotes vocalizer Volition Oldham: "We should turn and switch off the tape when our listening energy would be amend spent helping a living songwriter/performer."^[14]
