The Cash-Rubin collaboration stares death in the eye and responds with pathos, vulnerability and humour. The audible collapse in the singer's voice is cleverly embraced and although the use of weeping strings does become an obvious cover up by album's end, "A Hundred Highways" is another fine effort in Cash's remarkable late-life/career turn. Best Songs: 'Help Me', 'God's Gonna Cut You Down', 'Like the 309', 'Evening Train'.

The final release from Cash, A Hundred Highways is frighteningly morbid, with Cash seeming okay with the fact that his death was approaching fast. Just as the rest of his American albums, Cash does remakes of a number of his originals as well as many covers. Here, he covers the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Frank Sinatra, but the standout track is a traditional folk song entitled God's Gonna Cut You Down. Cash is found in a new setting, a much more industrial setting. He still goes back to where he's comfortable, simple acoustic country songs and he does it better than anyone, even near death.
