Default Johnny Cash

I recently purchased a vintage collection of ephemera and records, that I believe belonged to a DJ in the 50s/60s. Included were several autographed items and some original Sun Record records; Elvis, Cash, Carl Perkins, Bob Wills, etc.

It begged me to ask, as I know there are a lot of Cash fans still kicking. What is your favorite Cash song, concert or event?

Mine was attending the inaugural Johnny Cash Heritage Festival concert in 2017 at his childhood home in Dyess, Arkansas. It was fantastic and the stage was set up in the cotton field that surrounds his childhood home. Of course, Johnny wasn't there but his entire family performed along with Kris Kristofferson. What a show and memories.

Anyone else out there a Cash fan?

Sunday Morning, one of Kris Kristofersons all time writing gems, and Hurt is another great song written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

Johnny and a fan? Possibly somebody he knows I'm not sure. My only non baseball snapshot. I believe it's late 60s-early 70s era
As for favorite song I really like Ghost Riders in the sky.

I suppose I'm just an impossible old romantic, but I've always loved "Ballad Of A Teenage Queen".

Brings me back to the late '50s when my small North Jersey town still had a soda shop/candy store or two.

Hey Al, Jim here. Your post caught my eye, as it stated when you grew up in a small North Jersey town in the late 50s. It made me think how really good music, of any genre, can appeal to people no matter where they live or grew up. In this case a country singer from North East Arkansas reached all the way up to a small town in New Jersey!

I was born and raised in Mississippi county not too far from Dyess, which is also in Mississippi county where Cash grew up, in the 50s and 60s, but let me tell you it's a long way from Mississippi county to New Jersey! Goes to show that good music knows no boundaries.

I should have posted a picture of one of the records in the collection when I started the thread, so I will here. This one is an extended play album from 1958 and includes Rock Island Line. Enjoy the photo.

When people ask about the music I like, Johnny Cash is always one of them and in, or near, the top 10.

Same with Hank Williams Sr.....but I think he has fewer followers than Johnny Cash, probably by a good margin.

One piece at a time was a favorite. Just a fun silly sort of thing.

And Hurt was far beyond the original.

The whole song is special, but nothing can top the line, I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

Walk the Line is my favorite. It gets me every time I hear it how he changes keys for each verse.

Walk the Line is also one of my favorite movies. It's amazing that Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon did their own singing.

The story is that that's why he's humming, to make sure he has the key right.

Song: I've Been Everywhere

I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load
"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride"
And so I climbed into the cab, and then I settled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land"

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo
Tocapillo, Baranquilla, and Perdilla, I'm a killer

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa
Tennessee to Tennesse Chicopee, Spirit Lake
Grand Lake, Devils Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete's sake

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika
Schefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond du Lac, Davenport
Idaho, Jellico, Argentina, Diamantina,
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere

I've been to Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravelburg, Colorado
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, El Dorado
Larimore, Atmore, Haverstraw, Chatanika
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika
Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity
I've been everywhere, man

I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere


Honorable Mention: One Piece At A Time

Event: actually a non-event. I was working my first year at a law firm in Universal City and every Friday night a few of the alcoholic partners would round up associates to go have drinks at either Telly Savalas's bar at the Sheraton or in the Hilton lobby. I don't drink so I hated getting stuck sitting there nursing a club soda until I could leave. Anyhow, one Friday evening we were in the Hilton lobby and Johnny Cash walks off the elevator dressed head to toe in black and with a guitar slung over his shoulder and struts out the front door to a limo (i guess he was playing the Universal Amphitheater that evening). I didn't have the chance to go get his autograph or say hello. Wish I had. My father just about wore out his live album when I was a kid.

I don't know if Cash is in my top ten. But, my favorite music has always been his Highwaymen songs and later covers. Outlaw country is my favorite line of country music, followed by Neo-country of the late 80s and early 90s. Then I like western, like Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Anyway, I prefer Waylon over Johnny.

Highwaymen: "I fly a starship, across the universe divide. And when I reach the other side, I'll find a place to rest this spirit if I can. Perhaps I may become a highwayman again. Or I may simply be a single drop of rain...but I will remain."

Also like "Don't take your guns to town."

A later song of Cash's is "God's gonna cut you down."

Another I like is "Jackson" duet with his wife.

I also like some of his gospel music.

I grew up in Montana, and my dad was the regional manager for Montana. He got country music shows to come to Billings for three summers: 95, 96, 97. It was a great childhood. Merle Haggard came one year and I fell asleep in concert. I still don't connect with Haggard.

I think I first learned about Johnny Cash because his daughter was on the radio. My parents probably mentioned she was his daughter. I watched a lot of CMT, but I don't recall hearing him too much, although they played George Jones every now and then.

At Folsom Prison is #3 on Rolling Stone's list of greatest live albums. Is there a more unforgettable line than "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash'?

Is the Live at Folsom Prison the video where he is smashing out the stage lights with his foot? Great performance.

Definitely Folsom Prison Blues as #1, but I could listen to a Boy Named Sue everyday and not get tired of hearing it. Even though he doesn't really sing the song, more like spoken word.

I find it hard to select a favorite. I would put one down and then another pops up in my head so I would change it. "I've been everywhere" is probably one of my favorites because it reminds me of myself in my much younger days. Story: I used to help out in an antique store in Kingsport and Johnny and June would come in often. June would shop and Johnny would sit on our bench. A rule was we would never tell anyone they were there so June could shop without being bothered. One day they came in and I had one of his records for sale in my wife's booth so got it and asked him to sign it for me. Another time they came in and June bought some quilts, etc. and asked if we could deliver it to his old home place In Hilton's VA. My wife and I loaded up my truck and took the items up there. June and Johnny were not there but we took the items into the house. Later on we were given a couple of rugs that were in the house. I used to think of the memories that these rugs had.

I just watched the entire performance - amazing. His ties with the Carter family and the venue were absolutely pure Cash. Thanks for the link!

Truth is a stranger to the fiction Dept. A photo that set in motion a lot of problems for the couple. Johnny Cash was married to an African American woman in the 1950s.
They would say she was Italian ( which in itself could mean she has African blood, but suspected it was more than just that ) but the Klan down south gave them the side eye protesting him and his shows.
"That was a perilous time to be an interracial couple, so give props to them both."
Turns out the ” man in black “ was a true rebel and lived life on his terms, with respect! She ended up bowing out of the marriage ( after ten years and children, Roseanne Cash being one ), as the stress of it got to be too much for her. Even now in the movies, they don’t portray her as she was…

Technically she did divorce Johnny but she had no intention of doing so. Out of desperation she served him with divorce papers but her intention was to scare him into coming back home and being a husband and a father. By that time Johnny was already with June and had no intention of going back home to his wife and four daughters and he was also a full blown pill popper at the time. Later when the Catholic church excommunicated Vivian for getting the divorce Johnny got a hold of the archdiocese and explained to him that the divorce was 100% his fault and he left her no other choice. The Catholic church then pardoned her. ETA: I got all of that information from the Vivian Cash documentary on YouTube entitled ‘My Darling Vivian’.

On this date in 1963, JOHNNY CASH recorded RING OF FIRE (March 23rd 1963)
The video here is a rare 1964 performance from Johnny Cash singing his hit Ring of Fire on the Jimmy Dean Show.
Written by June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore and popularized by Johnny Cash in 1963, RING OF FIRE (or "The Ring of Fire") appeared on Cash's 1963 album, Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash.
Originally recorded by June's sister, Anita Carter, on her Mercury Records album Folk Songs Old and New (1963) as "(Love's) Ring of Fire", the song has since been ranked No. 4 on CMT's 100 Greatest Songs of Country Music in 2003 and #87 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
The song was recorded on March 25, 1963, and became one of the biggest hits of Cash's career, staying at number one on the country chart for seven weeks.
According to Rolling Stone magazine's Top 500 Songs, June Carter wrote this song while driving around aimlessly one night, worried about Cash's wildman ways - and aware that she couldn't resist him. "There is no way to be in that kind of hell, no way to extinguish a flame that burns, burns, burns," she wrote.
Not long after hearing June's sister Anita's take on the song, Cash had a dream that he was singing it with Mariachi horns. Cash's version became one of his biggest hits, and his marriage to June 4 years later helped save his life.
The song was based on a poem Love's Ring Of Fire, and it was originally recorded in a more folksy manner by June Carter's sister, Anita, as "Love's Fiery Ring."
Cash held back on his single to give her version a chance to chart.

According to research, her great great grandmother was Black but she was otherwise of European heritage.

Vivian Cash’s maternal great-great grandmother was indeed an enslaved Black woman, Sarah Shields, whose White father in 1848 had granted her and her eight siblings their freedom and their passage into Whiteness, too. Shields married a White man — albeit illegally — and by the time Jim Crow arrived in the 1930s all of her children and their descendants were listed as White.
