[Closed] Johnny Cash

Cash is one of my favourite artists. Folsom Prison Blues is where it's at for me.

The 10Billionth track was downloaded from iTunes today, it was a Cash track.

Why do you lot like it?

his voice just sends a shiver down my spine. He's brilliant.

Can't stand him. I honestly have no idea why people seem to like him so much. I mean I appreciate music, but most of what I've heard just seems like the demo from a cheap casio keyboard with some weird crooning over it.

Listen to any of the American Recordings series. I'm not into the older stuff so much (although the San Quentin/Folsom albums are outstanding) but the more stripped down acoustic last 6 albums are really good.

But, if you don't get it...that's music! would be shit if we all liked the same thing.

Yeah I mean I'm not flaming, just wanted a music discussion 🙂 for me, the crudeness of the music (that I have heard) just makes it look like he couldn't be bothered writing a proper song. I mean he can't have tried hard there..

I am new into Johnny Cash. My history was alternative/punk/indie at various stages of my life, with a few years of Acid Techno/DnB during the messy years. I have always loved music though, and I just commented to my wife that not since New Model Army have I felt this way about music. If nothing else, listen to 'if you could read my mind' from American V - not his song, but a really heartfelt cover.

Barry;Cash was the first alt/indie/punk artist! A vote for North Country Girl as one of his finest moments,even if it was written by Zimmerman

Another Johnny Cash fan here.
Johnny Cash of East Cash was an interesting documentary on Radio 4 recently. It's probably gone from Listen Again by now though as it was a couple of weeks ago.

Boy named Sue live at San Quentin. 😀

Eh?

Radio Scotland have been plugging a show about Johnny Cash which I think is on tonight. Hosted by Ricky Ross.

molgrips,he set himself against the established Nashville musical mafia,all while taking huge quantities of drugs.
