" Gods Gonna Cut You Down" - Johnny Cash
In the twilight of his recording career, and not long before his passing, The "Man in Black" committed to tape a truly brilliant and moving version of this old traditional folk song.
Odetta, The Blind Boys of Alabama and even Elvis had all gone before in recording their own versions of "God’s Gonna Cut You Down" sometimes known as "Run on", a great testament to the tune itself.
But still Cash managed to bring a magic all of his... MORE

I was down at the famous Portland Saturday's Market on a beautiful fall day and found this artist selling some great psychedlic paintings of musicians, mostly big iconic ones like John Lennon, Ray Charles, etc. I liked the one of Johnny Cash here the best. I asked him if he was open to doing an painting of an artist of choice for a customer but he was a bit reluctant stating he was swamped with work but if I brought down a picture of the artist I wanted he might consider i...

Johnny Cash played "every prison song he knew" when he performed live at Folsom Prison in 1968. Songs like "I Got Stripes," "25 Minutes To Go" and the specially-written "Folsom Prison Blues" are well-known favorites. But have you heard him play "I'm Here To Get My Baby Out of Jail" from the same concert? How about "This Ole House" or "June's Poems"? These are 3 of the 7 songs that weren't included on previous releases of Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison. But a brand new 3... MORE

The legend recently got remixed by Los Angeles electro-dude Dj Troublemaker. Apparently John Carter Cash, son of Johnny Cash, asked Troublemaker to select one of the Sun Recordings songs and remix it from the original stereo master (no Pro Tools sessions back then). This is the result:

This follows from Annies post. What brings two people together in an incident such as THIS ? .... what forces converge?... is there meaning in it, or is it a random and unfortunate encounter? How will it affect the people around them? Like ripples from a stone thrown into a pond ... a pond we're all swimming in together. All affecting each other in ways we may or may not comprehend. I won't subject you to Sting... but I have to admit [hangs his head] I like the origi... MORE

...when i did a post called The Thousand-Yard Stare, which stirred up some controversy. However, i think that (setting aside the controversy i touched on in that post) even the MOGger i was arguing with will agree that Viet Nam vets (real combat men, not REMFs like me) got a pretty shabby deal Back In The Day. There's a reason that "Don't mean nothin'" was a Viet Nam mantra... Johnny Cash spent quite a while in Viet Nam a full year, i think - on his own dime, gettin... MORE

...i believe.
I don't believe in God or the Devil.
I don't believe in Heaven or Hell.
I believe that when you die, that's it.But for as long as it takes Johnny Cash to sing Tom Waits' Down There by the Train, i believe. And a tear runs down my cheek.

Further On Up The Road"- Bruce Springsteen's tune "I'll meet farther on up on the road- Got on my dead man's suit and a song to sing. Where the road is dark, one sunny morning and we'll rise I know and we will meet further on up the road"

Who doesn't love this song.American III, American Recordings, and Unchained arrived recently. Nights, mornings I've lain in bed listening. American Recordings and Unchained have yet to have the hearings they deserve. After washing dishes to the accompaniment of American III, I sat in my chair and listened again. This time unfolding the oversized liner notes. Reading these casual reminiscences was a loosening. Turning to the notes for Unchained was my undoing. Veggie burger... MORE
