Well, honestly Patti, CC has had a few good break. In about 1990-92 she was going up, but her addictions keep pulling her down.
I like CC a lot, she is a great artist and I actually know her and some of her family. But, it seems that every time she starts doing well, she has to hit a new bottom. The woman needs to take her recovery SERIOUSLY then the industry might talk to her, but no one in the business is going to spend money on someone who is all messed up on drugs or alcohol.
She shoots herself in the foot. I wish she could get it together so much, I listen to a CD in my car and put "TOO PROUD" on so loud that it shakes my window. Anyone who can write a song like that deserves to be out there sharing it with the universe.
I pray that some day she gets the message, before it is too late for her.
Cat

Multi-Disc Releases From Johnny And June Carter Cash This Summer

Johnny Cash
In commemoration of two music icons, fans of both Johnny Cash and his
wife June Carter Cash will be able to purchase multi-disc specials
from both of the singers. Columbia will release sets of CD's from
Johnny and June on June 7 featuring rarities, photos and hits.
Johnny's release will be entitled Johnny Cash —The Legend. It's a
four-disc set with a whopping 107 songs. The track listing will span
Cash's career from 1955 to 2002 and will include songs from all of the
albums he recorded for the Sun and Columbia record labels. Seven
previously unreleased tracks will be included.
According to Billboard, one of the unreleased songs is called "It
Takes One To Know Me," which was written by Cash's stepdaughter
Carlene Carter. Cash recorded the song in 1977 and Carlene has since
added her own vocals to the song. All the other unreleased songs stem
from Cash's recordings from the '70s and '80s and include a demo of
"Down In The Valley" and a cover of Billy Joe Shaver's "You Can't Beat
Jesus Christ."
A limited edition version of the box set will include a hardcover
book, a bonus CD of Johnny's first radio appearance and a DVD of the
1980 CBS special Johnny Cash — The First 25 Years.
June's double-disc release, Keep On The Sunny Side, will feature 40
songs from her catalogue.
