Default The Man in black
Not one thing to do with tractors, but I just CAN'T be the only Johnny Cash fan on this board, so I figured a friendly pointer was OK. I have been a fan of his since I was a little boy, but I have to say that his most recent CD's are the best work of his ever. I just got his newest (American III - solitary man), and while his voice has certainly declined some in the last year or so due to his illnesses, it is a real treasure of a collection that any Johnny Cash fan absolutely must have. American Recordings and Unchained are better as far as the beauty of his singing, but the songs he put together for this (his last???) collection are really special. If you are a fan of the Man in Black, do yourself a favor and get this newest CD.

Paul,

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely check it out. I've been a Cash fan since about the time "my daddy left home when I was three and didn't leave much for my mom and me." (actually I was five) Do you have The Essential JOHNNY CASH from Columbia Country Classics? Some of my all time favorites are One Piece At A Time, Oney, Highway Patrolman, Singin' in Viet Nam Talkin' Blues, What Is Truth....

BTW, have you read "CASH" THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

I have also listened to CASH since I was just a "little nipper". He is still my favorite country artist.

Than I bet you remember Carl Perkins singer song writter who play lead guitar for Johnny Cash than went on his own to make it big.

Kinda to bad Tommy Cash {Johnny brother} didn't make it big,for he did have one chart topper..Six White Horses.

Thomas,

Cash tells a story in his autobiography about a show down in Mississippi where Carl Perkins opened for Elvis Presley. The crowd wanted Perkins so much that Elvis quit performing after 2 songs and left the stage and Perkins came back on. [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Gee Thomas, ya got me all I can think of is the Carter Family.

There was also the Tennesee Three.

Later in the 80's were the Highwaymen. Do you know who they were?[img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]
