The Man In Black
let's hear it for Johnny Cash.
a total obsession of mine, and a life-saver for loads of people who wonder what to get me for my birthday (presents are usually Johnny Cash related!)
What would Johnny Cash do?"

Re: The Man In Black
Hear, hear!
Johnny Cash was, and still is, The Man (in black or otherwise). Johnny Cash made Music, not country, not rockabilly, not folk, just Music.
I love Luther Perkins's playing on the early stuff.

Re: The Man In Black
JC, always loved his music, the honesty and the emptiness in it ... never cluttered ... many people hear different things in his songs, to me I hear a lot of blues ... may not be 12 bar, but blues it what I hear
hank williams
woody guthrie
don't play their music that much but when I do, it always tells me something new

Re: The Man In Black
My Dad used to be a huge Cash-Fan (though he doesn't understand
a word of English, he was just into the image, I suppose), so I grew up
with the man's music as a kid.
I never really got into the Amerian recordings, though.
"Live At Folsom Prisom" is one of my all-time faves.
Isn't that middle-finger pic from that show?
Cheers, M

Re: The Man In Black
yeah, IIRC Jim Marshall was taking photos at the gig, and said to Cash "Have you got a message for the Governor?" and he did that!

Re: The Man In Black
I have Live at Folsom on vinyl and it is definitely one of my favorites. I like most of the later stuff he did with Rick Rubin too. I especially love the cover he did of Hank William's I'm so Lonesome with Nick Cave.FUZZ_KING wrote: My Dad used to be a huge Cash-Fan (though he doesn't understand
