They made me a later fan of Cash, and are highly acclaimed later works by the artist.
Many artist have this happen. Just look at Ian Mckellen (Gandalf) or Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) or Ian Holm (Old Bilbo) or Betty White, or Kirk Douglas, who have become famous in new ways as older people.
I'd say don't rule out late career successes with Meat.
And after listening to BTWA for awhile now, I can say that it is on par with Cash's American Series, jsut with better vocals because Meat's not quite that old yet, although he does have some bumps and bruises  |
It's a good point. I think though for me that final legacy song surely would have to be What Part of My Body for Meat. A shame it won't be on Braver. It deserves to be imo. Cast albums just never are my favourites. They never seem to do either the musicals or artists justice somehow. Still haven't heard the long version of GATW so I can't judge that one nor some of the others in entirety on Braver.
