...really worth $329.98. There's also a considerably cheaper model with just the music, nearly 50 years of Cash divided thematically into four discs. The real find is the Family and Friends disc, which has a selection of Cash's work with the Carter Family plus a spectacularly weird duet with Bob Dylan (Girl from the North Country) and a previously unreleased You Can't Beat Jesus Christ, in which Cash and Billy Joe Shaver discuss Jesus as sports fans might talk about the Shaq and Kobe--era Lakers...
...Dave Grohl-Norah Jones�duet shouldn't really work, and for a few bars this ballad doesn't. Grohl sounds like a punk kid in a tuxedo, unsure if he's ready to get beyond irony. But with Jones' earnestness to guide him, the awkwardness melts away, giving the harmonies surprising grace...

Mixed in with the inoffensive party tracks (including one that makes a commendable use of Spanglish) are songs about debt and God, and a duet with Sarah Buxton that sounds more like Music Row than the Muzik Mafia. The absence of a single social or political lyric leaves the impression that Cowboy Troy may be the obverse of a certain white rapper whose skin is outwardly a comfort to his audience but whose substantive goal...
