Though seemingly everything that can be said about Cash has been
said, one aspect of his career rarely explored is how his popularity
in Ireland and the U.K. helped sustain and revive him. Celtic music
was a foundation of both folk and country and his continued adulation
there owed much to that tradition. Touring Ireland in 1989, he heard
on the radio Kelly's version of the Patsy Cline hit "Crazy"--the
country's biggest selling record of the year. He invited her to
one of his shows and brought her on stage to sing. He later invited
her to Nashville and they recorded "Woodcarver" together,
which went gold in Ireland. So it was natural that she would again
appear with him in Ireland in 1993.
Between record companies that year, he also sang on "The Wanderer"
from Ireland's biggest music artist, U2, for that enormously popular
group's Zooropa. Buoyed by the praise of a new generation, he then
signed with Rick Rubin's American Recordings and Johnny Cash began
the final phase of perhaps the most extraordinary career in modern
American music.
