Johnny Cash – Bootleg Vol III – Live Around the World (Columbia/Legacy) CD review We all could learn a lesson from Johnny Cash. As we continue to divide ourselves, politically and socially, it’s nice to be reminded of one performer who saw no such boundaries. Bootleg Vol III - Live Around the World, the third in a series of archival releases from the fertile Cash vaults, features the legendary “Man in Black” in a wildly diverse series of settings. Take, for example, his 1964 show at the famed Newport Folk Festival, where he’s brought on stage by left-wing activist Pete Seeger. Yet, just a few tracks away, Cash is introduced by President Nixon before launching into a performance at the White House in 1970.
