American III - Solitary Man: Vinyl LP

American III: Solitary Man is the third installment in Johnny Cash's American series, released in 2000 and marking his 85th album overall. This album reached the highest chart position among Cash's solo studio LPs since 1976's One Piece at a Time. Between Unchained and Solitary Man, Cash faced health issues due to various ailments and was hospitalized for pneumonia. American III: Solitary Man features Cash's response to his illness, including powerful renditions of Tom Petty's 'I Won't Back Down' and U2's 'One'. Just like Cash's previous two albums produced by Rick Rubin, it won a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for Cash's version of the Neil Diamond classic 'Solitary Man'. The tracklist is divided into two sides. Side A includes hits like 'I Won't Back Down' and 'Solitary Man', while Side B features 'Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)' and 'Field Of Diamonds'.
