I recently picked up couple albums from Johnny Cash's American Recording series (specifically, III and IV). I was excited about it as I've been meaning to get them for a while. To my dissapointment, both albums sounded terrible, sounding really "hot" at many places with distortions.
My questions is, are there good versions of the American Recording series? I really want to listen to them, but I just can't get over the distortions.
