Johnny Cash's 81st Album (Damn),
He literally took a guitar and just recorded shit people wrote for him in his living room, and the producers just let him do whatever. And it worked.
Pretty sad stuff, where the meaning is the point of the music, not the actual tune itself. Witty, but can end up a little stale at times.
You also have to appreciate Cash's deadpan dark humour. He plays dark comedic lyrics in his twisted dying voice, and the crowd just chuckles in the few live covers he did. Pretty funny dude, pretty sick stuff.
