He then was less popular as he moved to Columbia records and his drug addictions affected his life and career (but not really his musical ability, though the Columbia music was usually not nearly as good as the Sun Records music).
He had two monster hit live albums recorded in prisons, a hit TV show, was off his worst drug addictions, had a new marriage (to June Carter), and was able to tour to big crowds.
You have a sense that this recording is part confession, part prayer, but it's also an artist at the height of his power.

Yes, JOHNNY CASH: AMERICAN RECORDINGS is a great CD, mostly because it is a key milestone in his career, even though it is not nearly his best album at all, in my opinion.
I don't like this song, but it was the biggest hit on the album when it came out in 1994, and it put Johnny back in the public eye in a big way with its MTV hit video to promote it.

In the '90s, Cash began his highly successful and acclaimed AMERICAN RECORDINGS series, reaching a new audience with an amazingly diverse set of songs, ranging from traditional tunes to alternative rock covers.
With his lean, angular sound and hearty, passionate baritone, Cash forged one of the most unique styles in all of popular music, one that delved into gospel, folk, and rock, but also remained the essence of country music.
The legendary Man In Black is now recording for a modern rock label, and is being produced by hard-core rap/rock guru Rick Rubin--and the results are startling.

And most of all, that fl wardrobe, which he once told us symbolized, among so may other things, "the poor and the beaten down/ Living in the hopeless hungry side of town." Cash may be dead, but his ghost haunts us publicly.
Perhaps more than any other album in the Rick Rubin-produced series, Cash's final work, American Recordings V: A Hundred Highways, tries to balance the man and the myth, addressing his life and career with a humor and a gravity that are unmistakably human and unmistakably Cash.
Despite the fact that all but two of its tracks are covers, these dozen songs address his marriage to June, his determined Christianity, and his impending death with candor and insight.
