DVD Recorded Versions of Songs Better than Soundtrack's

I have this and the DVD. The DVD versions are better than the versions recorded on this soundtrack CD.

New fan, older fan

I am not a young person and evidently was too busy raising kids to notice Johnny Cash in his prime. However, after seeing "Walk the Line" I've become a very big fan of both Joaquin Phoenix and Johnny Cash. Have purchased books, CD's, and DVD's. Frankly, I think Joaquin is the better singer after listening to the Johnny Cash CD's. Cash had animal magnitism, but neither he nor June had great voices in my opinion. I find it amazing that Joaquin could do so well when he normally doesn't sing. I saw "Capote" too and think Joaquin was more deserving of the Academy Award than Hoffman. It is not that hard to impersonate someone as strange as Capote was. Hoffman did a good job, but Joaquin did better. I play this album in my car all the time.

The Man in Black. . .

I haven't been a big fan of Johnny Cash, but I do enjoy his music. I really enjoyed this film, and I think Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon did an excellent job at portraying such beloved figures in Southern music. (My maternal grandparents are from Tennessee, so I've been South quite a bit). If you don't like it, eh, to each his/her own, I always say.
