As befits a release on a fledgling indie label, Dualtone's tribute to Johnny Cash celebrates the feistier fringes of the Man in Black's catalog, adding a few mainstream milestones. In what is plainly a labor of love for all concerned, highlights extend from the pop innocence of "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" by Rodney Crowell (formerly married to Johnny's daughter Rosanne) to the folkier strains and husband-and-wife harmonies of "Pack Up Your Sorrows" by Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis to the honky-tonk majesty of "I Still Miss Someone" by pianist Earl Poole Ball. Some of the more familiar touchstones don't fare quite as well, with Billy Burnette turning in a tepid "Ring of Fire" and Dale Watson singing in a lower than comfortable register on "I Walk the Line," though James Intveld rises to the challenge of "Folsom Prison Blues." The house band and the largely acoustic arrangements give the 18-cut album more unity than many such projects, as the collection shows why one of the most influential and commercially successful artists in country's history remains an icon of alt-country as well. --Don McLeese

4 out of 5 stars dressed in black-j.cash tribute.......2007-05-27

not many tribute albums are worth a 2nd listen,not the case here however with the likes of hank III & rev.horton heat you can listen to this one over & over with out hearing a generic pop country artist murder a cash classic, most of the songs here are done quite well, some just stand out more than others,a must have for cash fans!

5 out of 5 stars The best tribute (so far).......2006-05-09

The whole spirit of this CD takes me back to my teenage years in the late '50s, when we listened to Johnny Cash's Sun singles (along with Jerry Lee Lewis and Bill Haley) on the juke box. In addition to the excellent renditions of Cash's music, this collection introduced me to a few excellent singers who had somehow managed to slip by under my radar. In particular, I love Robbie Fulks' version of "Cry, Cry, Cry"--what a fantastic singer/songwriter! Surprisingly, the singer who sounds most like a young Cash (without seeming to imitate him) is the very Reverend Horton Heat on "Get Rhythm." Another is Chuck Mead's "There You Go." Hank III gives his own unique take on "Wreck of the Old '97." Sounding more like his own grandfather, it's certainly not the way Johnny Cash did it, but he nevertheless captures the bare tragedy and heroic spirit of the song. "Pack up Your Sorrows" was a favorite during the '60s, but I barely remember Johnny Cash singing it. The most familiar version was by Richard & Mimi Farina, and Kelly Willis and Bruce Robinson faithfully capture the spirit of their version. The other song that stands out is "Straigh A's in Love" by Eddie Angel. It's often forgotten that Johnny Cash was not primarily a country singer. Beginning with his classic work at Sun Studio, he pretty much invented the rockabilly sound, and it is this spirit that is well represented here. Get this CD and keep it in your car to brighten up those pesky commutes.

4 out of 5 stars Straight A's 4 This Tribute Disc!.......2005-03-26

There is some excellent music on "Dressed In Black: A Tribute to Johnny Cash." Chris Knight is one of those musicians that always sparks my interest; his version of "Flesh & Blood" is such a plaintive laid back reading of this song that it gives an emotional mix of loneliness, hope & desire. It closes the set, but is one of the highlights for me. Eddie Angel's rockabilly "Straight A's In Love" is a naughty little tune that puts a smile on my face each time it comes on the changer. :) Austin songwriter Damon Bramblett's take on "I'm Gonna Sit on the Porch & Pick on My Old Guitar" may not seem polished, but it does exude a warmth that brings me into the music. Chuck Mead from BR5-49 produced this disc and plays on every track. His lead vocals on "There You Go" set your toe tapping, "You're gone again, I should'a known I couldn't win...He's by your side, you're gonna break another heart, you're gonna tell another lie." The Mavericks' Raul Malo sounds a bit like Chris Isaak to me on the slow shuffle of "I Guess Things Happen That Way." Rodney Crowell has been recording a series of great solo sets as well as with the Notorious Cherry Bombs. Here he turns a straightforward reading of "Ballad of a Teenage Queen." Robbie Fulks' "Cry, Cry, Cry" booms with great energy. No one will ever replace Johnny Cash, but these artists do a great job with songs that he previously polished. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars A Nice Tribute.......2004-02-24

Hank III's "Wreck of the Old '97" makes this disc worth owning. His daring to break out of the mold that so many other artists have poured this song into, while still respecting the original, is reason enough to add this CD to your collection.

5 out of 5 stars Great Disc with one flaw.......2003-12-18

This disc is awesome! There's no beating Rodney Crowell, Redd Volkaert, and couple others. Now, I'm a Hank Fan also, and love what III does with his grandpa's music, but as for Wreck of the Old 97, he should be locked up. I wouldn't appear on anything rewriting a song that's been done for the past 75 years. Johnny, Hank Snow, all the ones I'd heard stuck very close to Vernon Dalhart's recording from the late '20s. III's almost made this disc a clay pigeon.

5 out of 5 stars Somewhere down the Road is great!.......2002-10-31

We really love this album. Every song is very well done, and thoroughly enjoyable. I haven't heard a lot of other music by this performer, but I like what I've heard. The lyrics are interesting, and they don't all just sound alike. There are a couple of "retro" songs, which he truly does justice to, and some original pieces. Really a pleasure to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars A Talented Singer/Songwriter/Musician Worth Discovering.......2001-08-21

A while back, Corona Beer had a commercial series that featured new artists. James Intveld and this album was among the music that found its way on to the commercials.

In case you aren't familiar with Jimmy, he has written songs for Rosie Flores and has appeared as a backing musician for Dave Alvin on King of California and also played guitar in one incarnation of the Blasters a few years ago. He also heads a swing band and has a number of acting credits including an appearance on the HBO movie 61*.

This album features his singing and songwriting talent and it is truly special. He has a crooner's voice that can make women swoon and make it hard for men to not sing along. The music can be considered alt-country or as rock. It won't rattle the windows but it also won't make it to most country music stations either.

It should make it into your CD collection because the songs are memorable with great melodies and instrumental backing. You will especially like this CD if you are a fan of the Derailers, BR-549, Dwight Yoakam or even Buck Owens.

5 out of 5 stars A Road Well Traveled.......2000-08-31

James Intveld's latest offering, "Somewhere Down The Road" is a well-recorded collection of songs sure to make any rockabilly or county music fan overjoyed.

I got my first taste of James' music watching the Johnny Depp movie, "Cry Baby," (James sang the hard rocking stuff).

James rocks, pure and simple. From the gospel flavored "All The Way From Memphis," to the swinging "Stop The World," There's enough energy to power a small city. Simple and clean, that the best way to describe these songs. As good as if you're sitting in a dark nightclub watching him play.

The ballads, "Living Without You," and "Love Calls" are as good as anything on the radio today, or at any time. And it's a mystery to me why James hasn't broken through and become the mega star that he should be, but I'm sure that's ok to the people who follow him, you know, I'm sure they feel he still belongs to them.

If you're a fan of the "Bakersfield Sound" and are looking for a true to the heart singer/songwriter with a country kick, then check out this fine CD. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars My wife stole this one from me..........2005-02-26

My introduction to James Intveld came from the "LA Rockabilly" compellation that Rhino put out. I liked his stuff (and most of the stuff on that record) but kind of never gave him much thought. Years later I saw him in the Rosie Flores video for "Cryin' Over You" and bought that record due to the video and the strength of that song (and he wrote it I need to point out). Then came the movie "Crybaby" and James Intveld again. When I saw him live after that I kept an eye on his career a bit more and when this record came out I instantly liked it. His version of "Cryin' Over You" is the superior one, and every song on this one is great. So great in fact that my wife stole this from me and she wore it out. She find his voice sexy, but I think I will stay away from that one (LOL). Anyhow, good solid rocking music and an instant classic.

5 out of 5 stars Songs that immediately seize you.......2004-06-11

There are some albums that require a few listens before you're even sure you really LIKE it! And there are those rare albums that you feel you have always known as you listen for the first time. I don't understand the mystery of that but it's such a joy when you discover one. I ordered this album "sight unseen" - based on a written review in a country/western book. James' voice reminds me of a cross between Elvis and Marty Robbins. Every single song on this album is either contagious or haunting. Each cut seems important. (No throwaway tracks here.) It's the kind of album that when trying to decide on your favorite cut, you say to yourself, "This one!" as the album continues through its 12 cuts. I'll be buying EVERYTHING this guy puts out.

5 out of 5 stars James Intveld-unheralded KING........2001-02-22

James Intveld is the most exceptional singer/song writer I have ever heard in all my years in the Music business. His songs have such great depth and feeling I am totally suprised that he isn't a MAJOR star. James Intveld is everything that James Taylor was and also has the singing voice and courageous attitude of a young Merle Haggard or Roy Orbison or Johnny Cash. His songs are written and performed as well as any or the above mentioned "classics".

5 out of 5 stars James Int veld.......1999-12-18

James has created a marvelous roots rock album with strong vintage country and rockabilly influences. It demostrates an equal and impressive facility in writing, singing and on all instruments. (James wrote, sang and played all instruments on all tracks.) This is a truly great album.
