The Johnny Cash Children's Album

The Johnny Cash Children's Album (Columbia/Legacy) Ages 4 and up Sony is releasing a slew of vintage celebrity albums for kids, and none would rank among their creators' most ''personal'' work—except Cash's. He wasn't a prolific writer after his early years but penned nearly everything on this '75 release: ''I Got a Boy and His Name Is John'' is a charming duet where June—seemingly spontaneously—makes sure Mom gets equal lyrical props; ''Miss Tara'' has Cash dreading his last daughter leaving home, when ''I'll be so alone.'' A sweet family memento. B+
