Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
Yes I know, I have the album, it was released posthumously for a reason, Cash never intended to release it as is back then...
Cash has admitted in many interviews that it took a lot of coaxing for him to get comfortable with that idea. All I'm saying is that Rubin played a big part in that...
When they first got together, didn't Rubin ask "exactly what kind of album would you like to make?".
As opposed to Rubin saying "You should make this kind of album because..."
Rubin knew how to sell the man in black to a young audience outside the Nashville system. Cash wanted to make an album the opposite of the slick country stuff at the time.
