American IV is by far one of the greatest, country or otherwise, albums of all time. It deserves every award and them some. Personally, I think Hurt isn't even the best song on the album. My favorite is "I Hung My Head." That is simply put one of Cash's greatest performances ever. Other favs include "When THe Man Comes Around," "Tear Stained Letter," and "Sam Hall." I phenomenal album by an equally phenomenal artist. I miss him already. I suggest you relisten to American IV and reexamine your impressions of the album because it doesn't get any better than this. IMHO.
