America: A 200-Year Salute in Story and Song Reviews:
replacement 
2009-05-08 - Used to have this on 8 track tape now have it on cd. Someone took the tape and never returned it. A history in song of hapenings in this contry.
The man in black
2008-07-06 - I have always liked Johnny Cash. But this CD made me think of what a great county we live in. He says it very well.
Cash is America!!
2006-03-19 - I can't say enough about this CD. Like previous viewers, I too wore out this cassette as a child listening to it on family vacations. I know every word and song and basically this is how I began to learn American History. I was thrilled to see it available on CD a few years ago. Combination song and "spoken word," Johnny is in top form. Well, better go because "I'm goin' west to Kentuck, down the road to moccasin gap!"
I'd recommend 'Ride This Train' instead. 
2006-02-03 - If you're thinking of investing in your first Cash concept album, i'd recommend Ride This Train (1960). Try that, see if you like it. I loved Ride This Train, but wasn't as impressed by America, and sort of regretted paying retail for it. Like most of the Cash concept albums, its well under thirty minutes total, and each of the songs are slight two-minute affairs, the rest being made up by the between-song narration. In Ride This Train, the narration is backed by the sound of a train, which works quite well. On America, Cash just narrates in silence, and it doesn't work as well. I think Ride This Train has better songs, too. Preview 'Loading Coal,' opening track of Ride This Train, with its crisp production and assured vocal, and see for yourself.
a long time waiting for
2002-03-19 - Let me tell you, this was one of my favorite tapes that finally wore out... Now that it is on CD listening to it again clean and crisp is a pleasure. Ablums with songs like this are a hard find. you have to have this one if you like Johnny Cash.
