Wow.. cool tattoo! He is amazing... I do love him! Even if people think I am crazy...... that's because, well I am!!!
Johnny Cash & June belong in the Classical section! I disagree Jim. Country music did not forget Johnny, as he said in an interview 'It's a young person game and it time for June and I to take a little vac. and enjoy some things." That is not word for word but in the ball park!
I think Johnny Cash is the best country/folk singer ever...That Man makes me cry, you gotta listen to his last records too... I think my favorite Johnny Cash song is Man In Black...
Yeah Cash is amazing... But I think Bob Dylan's a little better... After all Cash sung "It Aint` Me Babe"
Is Dylan country though? OK Nashville Skyline is country, and odd songs since then - but really it's something different with Bob.
Well he WAS Folk.. I think they're pretty alike... Especially in case of Folk music... and John Wesley Harding was really Country and So was Desire.
I bumped into Johnny Cash at the Nashville airport in 1977. He was coming out of the men's room as I was going in. A couple minutes later, I saw Roy Clark coming down the hall with a suitcase on wheels. The very first one I ever saw. x
I simply disagree with "Johnny was forgotten by country music in the 90s." I read where he made the decision to back off to enjoy life and time off the road. He and June spent a great deal of time in Jamaica with family.
Johnny may have forgotten country music in the 90s. Health problems plagued JC thoughout the 90s ,however in 92, the first of 3 Highwaymen was released . The first one did very well, very well!!!
I don't know the name of the song but there's something he recorded that was played in a music department store I was in.It was about dying & crossing the river Jordan? to reunite with his Mother & Father up in Heaven;sorry to be so vague,but It was a very moving song & he died not long after I heard it.
