Anyone Cash fans in here? I just picked up American IV: The Man Comes Around. Freakin awesome. Digital |
You have no idea how wierd this is. ht |

I never used to really like country music, but Cash was the guy that started me out. I have Live at Folsom, one of his box sets and another disc or two of his stuff. I liked the fact that most of his tunes are almost like Blues tunes. Johnny Cash country music was just "country blues" IMHO. Good stuff. |

I'm a huge fan. You'll find fans everywhere. Redneck bars, truckstops, punk rock clubs, diners, art galleries, those are a few places I've heard the man in black come on the juke. And nobody but nobody has a bitch. F'n miss him. Never got to see him live. Midwinter (currently in black) |
That should be a surprise to no one. The base for country music is blues, mountain music, and western music. The base for bluegrass is black rhythm and mountain melody. |

Delia, oh. Delia Delia all my life If I hadn't shot poor Delia I'd have had her for my wife Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone I went up to Memphis And I met Delia there Found her in her parlor And I tied to her chair Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone She was low and trifiling And she was cold and mean Kind of evil make me want to Grab my sub machine Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone First time I shot her I shot her in the side Hard to watch her suffer But with the second shot she died Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone But jailer, oh, jailer Jailer, I can't sleep 'Cause all around my bedside I hear the patter of Delia's feet Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone So if your woman's devlish You can let her run Or you can bring her down and do her Like Delia got done Delia's gone, one more round Delia's gone |
"There'll never be another Redheaded Stranger, or Man In Black and Folsom Prison Blue."  Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... |
HUGE Cash fan here, his best music came towards the end IMO, and probably won't ever be as commercially succesful as it should be.....I remember coming home from work one night and hearing on the radio that June had passed and I said to myself how it probably wouldn't be long before Johnny left us as well I also remember completely mesmerized when VH1 had him and Willie on the same stage.

It's a 49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59 automobile, It's a 60,61,62... I remember the first time I heard his version of Rusty Cage, it was on college radio. He totally blew soundgarden away. Same with Hurt. Cash was the first Artist I could identify. I've had Ring of Fire since before I can remember. I remember playing it on my dad's turntable. I still have it. But no 'table.  In the late 80's I saw him play at an outdoor concert. It was a clear night and a full moon. He stopped mid-set and we all howled at the moon. |
