Big River is one of Cash's very best songs, IMHO. It's the reason we give this 45 a 2-star recommendation, our highest. It was also a pretty big hit on its own, though "Queen" was bigger. By the way, this is only the fourth original pressing of this great single that we've had to offer since opening in 2001... most copies you see are pretty trashed, unfortunately. Note: This beautiful copy has Near Mint labels, and the vinyl looks untouched. The audio sounds pristine Mint ... the best specimen that's passed through my hands.
