Today is a rainy day. I haven't been having a great couple weeks; my dad had surgery, my girl broke her collarbone, and I've just been busy trying to hold on to everything. When I get feeling this way, I often turn to the blues to let off some steam. Today, though, I'm listening to Johnny Cash.
I don't need to talk much about Cash. If you've listened to his music, watched Walk The Line, or like me, just remember your dad talking about Cash like he was the greatest American musician to have ever lived, you should take a day now and then to remember his voice and the power of his songs.
I couldn't choose any one song to post, so I am posting a couple of my favorites. Two are from American IV: The Man Comes Around, and the others are just older tunes, I'm not sure from which albums.
First we have Give My Love To Rose:
Next is another from that album, I Hung My Head:
The next is actually a cover by Cash of a Soundgarden song, Rusty Cage:
And lastly Highwayman, which is actually a song by "The Highwaymen" a group comprised of Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson (probably best known for playing Whistler in the Blade film series), Waylon Jennings, and Cash. This is a great song:
