Cool idea, I work most of the time know and while doing that I always listen to an old, beautiful C90. Today I listened to these albums.
I've been listening to the 2-for-1 deal with this one and the follow-up "Hot Burrito".
As the review on allmusic.com wisely points out, this is more of an historical artifact than a piece of art. It was Johnny Cash's first Americana concept-album. It really is a "stirring travelouge in story and song", made up of folk-bakllads interluded by short stories, pieces of fiction. The music ins't among Cash's best, but the intentions and importance of the album and it's concept is flawless.

That is a really cool album cover! You've had an awesome day's listening, by the way. I've been listening to the Flying Burrito Brothers material quite a lot recently as well.

I think that Nebraska is, hands down, the best Springsteen album. At the time, it was unheard of for an artist of his fame to release what was basically a bedroom demo. When listening to the songs, it's easy to picture Bruce Springsteen inside an old house (sort of like the picture of him in the cd sleeve picture) with a tape recorder. I love "Nebraska", "Atlantic City", and "My Father's House". Awesome album.
I used to have Nebraska on cassette. I should find the cd in the near future. I'm not a huge fan of Springsteen's other material, but Nebraska is great.

If you enjoy Nebraska, I highly recommend that you check out the album The Ghost of Tom Joad from 1995. It has a sound very similar to Nebraska and is supposedly a return to the style of that album. I haven't been too impressed with any other Springsteen material (although I admittedly haven't given it much of a chance) but both of these albums are really great. Any Nebraska fan should certainly give this one a chance too. It has a really cool cover, too.

Yes, is an incredible litle collection of songs ain't it? As the liner-notes to the remastered 2-for-1 album so modestly states: " ´The Gilded Palace Of Sin´is quite simply indespensible for anyone serious about collecting post-WWII popular music" and the follow-up Burrito Deluxe is (though wekaer) "nonetheless required listening in Introduction To Country-Rock 101 at university" :D
Today I've listened to these two albums all day.
