The CD comes complete with a 20-page booklet, with each artist contributing a comment about Johnny and-or their track.

Here is a short review from the allmusic guide:

"Johnny Cash is as country as country gets, but look just below the surface and you can find plenty of blues influence in his music. So a tribute to the Man in Black that calls on blues artists and blues arrangements of Cash songs is hardly far-fetched. And, considering the caliber of the participating artists, the album's success isn't surprising, either. Among the diverse highlights are roughed-up versions of "Train of Love" by Paul Redprivates, "Big River" by Colin Linden, and "Folsom Prison Blues" by Blackie & the Rodeo Kings; a jazzy "Get Rhythm" featuring Clarence Gatemouth Brown and Beny Davis; and a mariachi instrumental rendition of "Send a Picture of Mother" by Kevin Bret. Also affecting are the more acoustic-leaning numbers, including Chris Thomas King's "Rock Island Line," Maria Muldaur's "Walking the Blues," and Alvin Youngblood Hart's "Sunday Morning Coming Down" (a Kris Kristofferson song that Cash made into a hit). And a genuine love for Cash and his music unites the efforts of such unlikely contributors (at least on the same project) as Mavis Staples, Garland Jeffries, and Sleepy LaBeef. In all, an imaginative triumph." Steve Futterman
