It's a long song, but worth the listen. If you have never listened to Johnny Cash's American recordings you really are missing out on some amazing music. A great collection of music done by the Man in Black. After Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash is probably my favorite musician. As suggested in the title for the post - This is two for one and the second video is perhaps one of the best cover songs of all time. Chill out and enjoy a more mellow Friday Night Jam.
I also especially like his covers of Soundgarden's Rusty Cage and Nick Cave's The Mercy Seat. He knew how to make a song his own.
ReplyDeleteI'm a recently converted Johnny Cash fan.
ReplyDeleteAmazing stuff - I love the American folklore and storytelling at its finest!
I found 'Ride This Train' to be an amazing concept album.
It's incredible how many young people over at Tumblr are Cash fans, so anyone who wants a random sampling of Johnny Cash goodness: tumblr tagged johnny+cash
