Another release I'm looking forward to hearing is The Best of the Johnny Cash TV Show, which captures performances from the legendary Man in Black's TV variety show from the sixties and seventies.

A glance at the tracks listed here is disappointing only because it does not appear to include the great performances with people like Dylan and Clapton captured on last year's wonderful DVD release. Still, the Cash performances with his extended musical family including the Tennessee Three, the Carter Family, and Carl Perkins should be worth the price tag alone. Let's just hope they eventually get around to a Volume Two.

Rounding out this week's crop of new music, the Shout Factory label has a fresh new batch of those Ultimate Grammy Collections, focusing on "Classic" Rock, Pop, R&B, and Country.
