When the show debuted in 1996, Cash’s career was riding high for the first time in a long time. The show ran on and off for about twenty years and provided a casual forum for established musicians to play highlights from their catalogues and tell the stories behind the song.
VH1 Storytellers was a great series on US music TV network VH1. Unearthed was released two months after Cash’s death and is a worthy tribute to a musical legend. Regardless of my critique, the set went gold, and contains essential listening for any Cash fan. A three-disc outtakes set that would have been more affordable.
