Dude is a total getbigger. What is your favorite song by Johnny cash?
10. For 20 years, Roy Orbison lived next door to Johnny Cash. The men were neighbors in Tennessee, and they often collaborated together.
9. Cash once broke his toes trying to kick the bars out of a jail cell. The incident happened during one of Cash’s seven arrests, and occurred at a jail in Starkville, Miss. after Cash was incarcerated for trespassing.
8. Johnny Cash wasn’t totally fearless. The singer suffered from a fear of flying and a fear of snakes.
7. Cash was allegedly the first person ever to be sued by the U.S. for igniting a forest fire. Cash would often take his camper, Jesse James, out to the desert for methamphetamine binges. One time, the camper had an oil leak that caused the Los Padres National Wildlife Refuge to catch fire. The blaze killed almost every endangered condor in the refuge, to which Cash replied, “I don’t give a damn about your yellow buzzards.”
6. Cash and his bandmates were constantly stirring up trouble in the hotels they frequented while touring. In the late 1950s, Cash and his band bought 500 baby chickens and let 100 loose on each floor of the hotel they were staying at. Another time, Cash and Co. flushed cherry bombs down a toilet, destroying the plumbing system. Cash also stabbed a reproduction of the Mona Lisa that was hanging in a hotel because it didn’t quite reach his standards.
5. When Cash felt his record label was ignoring him in 1984, he intentionally recorded a terrible album. The title of the album was ‘Chicken in Black,’ and the lead song was about Cash having his brain transplanted with that of a chicken.
4. Cash was once attacked by … an ostrich. The ostrich resided on his farm, and one day the bird kicked the singer. The blow from the animal was massive, leaving Cash with five broken ribs and internal bleeding.
3. The scar on Cash’s face is from a botched surgical procedure. While he was in the Air Force, Cash had a cyst removed on his face. Supposedly, the doctor was drunk during the operation and messed up during surgery, leaving the singer with a permanent reminder of that day.
2. Cash drew inspiration from a tape playing backwards for the tune to ‘I Walk the Line.’ Even more surprising is the fact that it was a record of Bavarian guitar music. “[I had] a tape recorder in the Air Force in 1952. And [it] was always only guitar going do-do-do-do-do,” Cash told Larry King in an interview. “Well it got turned around. The tape got in there backwards. And then I played it, it went sh-sh-sh-sh and it had a kind of a drone sound like I finally had on the record.”
1. Cash never did a performance where he wasn’t wearing black. Cash started wearing all-black suits as a good luck charm, because he wore a black T-shirt and jeans to his first live gig. He once told Larry King, “[I've] never done a concert in anything but black. You walk into my clothes closet. It’s dark in there.”

Too many to name one. Long Black Veil, Guess Things Happen That Way, Understand Your Man,Folsum. I got to meet the man the first time back in the mid 1970's then again in the early 90's. He was one cool cat, seemed really calm and genuine.
-
I know every word of Johnny's top twenty songs and can sing them every word. anyone who has heard me says I sound incredibly like him. forget elvis , Johnny Cash is the true king!

- Ballad of Ira Hayes
- Highwayman
- Don't take your guns to town

it's a good thing June Carter never married Hank Snow.

Aussie song: I love guns , would be perfect in J.C. version :)

Would be between I Walk The Line, It Ain't Me Babe, and A Boy Named Sue. Honorable mention for I Hung My Head (Sting cover).
-

cash is one of the rare guys who got better as he got older. the American series turned amazing by the end. agreed with above posters on "hurt", "god's gonna cut you down", and "ain't no grave" are his best IMO

Better than the original versions
-
I Hung My Head (Sting cover).
Darn good cover -

Johnny performed many times in brightly colored as well a white clothing.
-
What a great thread. I agree that he got better as he got older, his voice on hurt was so dry it nearly cracks. I was brought up on Johnny Cash along with Tom Waits, listen to him almost daily. My Dad used to play Cash cassettes all day on our long family drives. Favourite song impossible as it changes. lately I have been stuck listening to a cover he did of "For the Good Times" listen to his old voice in this one.
-
Here is his haunting final interview.
"I expect my life to end soon"
-
cash is great, but can we have this same thread about Costello? it's the first question on my boyfriend application form. haha.
-
Contraband Wilson has him beat.

It's prob the same as with the Counting Crows, women appreciate the sentimental/emotional style, but MEN?! It raises my estrogen levels in a heartbeat :-\

CC are extremely boring, agree on that. About JC: dunno, Folsom ?

very understated
but laden with melancholy
-

understatement. cc are actually the stupidest shit since hootie and the blowfish. they give me diarrhea.
-
Elvis Costello is a genius.
So is Peter Gabriel.
Today my squat workout was to "This Year's Model".
I am NOT hitting on Lobstah, as my wife worked out with me.
But if liking Costello is gay, call me Liberace.
-
Not being from the US and knowing much about country music the only Johnny Cash song I knew before reading this thread was "Ring of Fire", but since reading the thread I've downloaded some of his greatest hits and most of them are excellent, some good listening there. Added to my iPod for future use.
-
Not a huge Johnny Cash fan, but I like his music. Like his gospel stuff quite a bit.
-
I think this is a great cover byJC I cant believe trent literally cired and complained about it
-
This is a good cover too -

Waylon Jennings had one of the best voices ever.

DARIUS RUCKER IS TERRIBLE!

The Man Comes Around
-
- Hurt, he took a song that someone else wrote and basically made it his own.
- The beast in me, great weight lifting and boxing song believe it or not
-
I'm really liking his final CD... I downloaded it... a little somber but some good ones in there...
Also "One piece at a time", an older one, is hilarious.
-
This song
"Hurt"
-
Haha True Adonis with all that Southern country crapp :D
-
-
Definitely RING OF FIRE
-
Waylon Jennings had one of the best voices ever.
Couldn't agree more. Johnny? Hurt and The Man Comes Around.
-
This song hits me right in the gut every time I hear it. Powerful.
That's the song I was going to pick, especially since WWE used it for the Undertaker's entrance music. I found out later that this song is an old Negro spiritual, attending a history field trip with my daughter.
-
Another one of his best covers, a Bruce Springstien song done dry.
-
Good stuff ::)
-
man, i'm discovering more and more good stuff by him.
He released a grand total of: 96 studio albums 63 compilation albums 153 singles (13 of which reached no 1)
-
Waylon Jennings had one of the best voices ever.
my grandmother used to have pictures of her and Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash all over her walls when I was a little kid. (typical 'grandmas house', walls covered in framed pictures) I never knew who the fuck they were. I guess it was after she was discharged or just before she was discharged from the army after driving a jeep off a cliff and killing an officer.. somehow she met Waylon and they drank together and met Johnny through him. TONS of fucking pictures.. i just though they were semi-famous country singers or something, never knew they were 'legends'. wish i had some of those pictures now. lol
-
The Highwaymen are outstanding.
-
-
-
-
-
Buddy Holly and Waylon were not only in the same band, they were best friends. Waylon Jennings gave up his seat in the plane to Buddy and that was the day the music died when the plane crashed.

Fellow NC native, Town Mountain has the best version of I`m on Fire.
-
Might as well put Don Edwards in here too.
Fantastic Live version of Coyotes.
-
Kris Kristofferson of the Highwaymen, was a Captain in the Army, a Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam and completed Ranger School. Not only that, he earned the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, same as Bill Clinton where he earned high honors in English Literature. While there he was also a very good boxer and could have had a career in boxing if he wanted.
-
The only other "Super Group" to rival The Highwaymen were the Travelling Wilbury`s- Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne

-
one piece at a time.
love that one. I'll pick that for my fav johnny cash "fun" song.
But Folsom county blues for Srs song.
