The second of two Johnny Cash tribute discs released in September 2002 
(the other is Dressed in Black: A Tribute to Johnny Cash) brings out the big 
guns in terms of marquee talent. As the album's coordinator, musician Marty 
Stuart has the background and contacts to pull this project off. Any collection 
with previously unreleased tracks from Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Dwight 
Yoakam, Emmylou Harris, and Steve Earle has built in credibility. All the 
participants are enthusiastic and dedicated, but the most stirring tracks inject 
a different spin to the originals. Unfortunately there aren't enough of those. 
Stuart's version of "Hey Porter" is respectful but doesn't deviate enough from 
Cash's boom-chika rockabilly to make it worth the effort. Yoakam's 
"Understand Your Man" even keeps the mariachi trumpets that added such an 
offbeat sound to Cash's '60s work. Daughter Rosanne's version of "I Still Miss 
Someone" is tender but lacks punch, as does Springsteen's solo acoustic "Give 
My Love to Rose," which sounds like an outtake from Nebraska. Dylan's 
spoken intro to "Train of Love" thanks Cash for standing up for him "way back 
when" before launching into one of the most emotionally stirring 
performances on this album. Little Richard does his best "Long Tall Sally" with 
a rock'em sock'em "Get Rhythm," but his voice isn't what it used to be and the 
song ends up sounding more like a Richard tune than a Cash one. Much 
better is Keb' Mo', who slows down "Folsom Prison Blues" to an ominous, 
swamp/bluesy crawl. Travis Tritt successfully rearranges "I Walk the Line" 
into a slow but menacing honky tonk ballad similar to how George Jones might 
approach it. Though it's fraught with the best intentions and tries to deviate 
from the hits (where's "Ring of Fire"?), Kindred Spirits is disappointing 
because even with the high-profile talent, few add anything unique, 
enlightening, or inspirational to Cash's already timeless music.
