"Seven Year Ache" is a great song, chugging and aching, but the rest of the tracks on this cd are less striking, often seeming to take their cues as much from the 80s pop songbook as from real country (whatever that means)...although possibly that's more a sign of Cash looking back to the commercial origins of the modern country music genre (via the Nashville sound etc) than of the particular time in which these songs were laid down.
