Overview

Country music icon Johnny Cash is the host and star of this 1974 television special on how the rise of the railroads impacted American life, which gets a modest but effective DVD release from Rhino. Johnny Cash: Ridin' the Rails has been transferred to disc in its original full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1; the slightly soft and grainy images betray the fact that this was shot in 16mm on a low budget, but the colors are vivid and the source materials are in solid condition. The program is in English, with no subtitles or multiple language options, while the soundtrack is presented in both Dolby Digital Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1. A handful of outtakes (some silent) have been included as bonus material; while this isn't especially remarkable stuff, fans of railroad lore and the Man in Black (who does sing several songs) will find it worth a quick spin.
