Title: Re: Johnny Cash fans in here Post by: Lucinda on February 01, 2009, 10:19:11 AM and my favourite
Well, I woke up Sunday morning With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes And found my cleanest dirty shirt. Then I washed my face and combed my hair And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day. I'd smoked my mind the night before With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking. But I lit my first and watched a small kid Playing with a can that he was kicking. Then I walked across the street And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken. And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd lost Somewhere, somehow along the way. On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down. In the park I saw a daddy With a laughing little girl that he was swinging. And I stopped beside a Sunday school And listened to the songs they were singing. Then I headed down the street, And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing, And it echoed through the canyon Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday. On a Sunday morning sidewalk, I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone. And there's nothing short a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down. Title: Re: Johnny Cash fans in here Post by: Lucinda on February 01, 2009, 10:28:46 AM I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five But I am still alive. I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide And with the sea I did abide. I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I am living still. I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and around and around I fly a starship across the Universe divide And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again.. Title: Re: Johnny Cash fans in here Post by: Lucinda on February 01, 2009, 10:36:07 AM Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone. Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he's a victim of the times. I wear the black for those who never read, Or listened to the words that Jesus said, About the road to happiness through love and charity, Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me. Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose, In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes, But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back, Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black. I wear it for the sick and lonely old, For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold, I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been, Each week we lose a hundred fine young men. And, I wear it for the thousands who have died, Believen' that the Lord was on their side, I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died, Believen' that we all were on their side. Well, there's things that never will be right I know, And things need changin' everywhere you go, But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right, You'll never see me wear a suit of white. Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day, And tell the world that everything's OK, But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, 'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

http://www.austin360.com/music/the-cachet-of-cash-a-star-studded-lineup-2308823.html The cachet of Cash: A star-studded lineup converges to pay tribute to Man in Black April 16, 2012 Producer Don Was doesn't hold back in describing Johnny Cash. "He was a human of mythological proportions." Cash had a mythological nickname, "The Man in Black." It came from his song of the same name, in which he sang "I wear the black for the poor and beaten down." It's a dirge that epitomized his everyman persona — tough, tragic, inspiring, painfully human. But the name also calls to mind the supernatural — something ghostly, powerful and much more than human. As fans celebrate the 80th birthday of Johnny Cash, who died in 2003, that contrast is a big part of the reason his impact endures just as vividly as it did while he lived. Similar to the man, his music was at once simple and transcendent, good and evil, comforting and haunting. The two sides of Cash will no doubt be on display Friday, when a host of music icons, including Cash's fellow Highwaymen Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson (the other Highwayman, Waylon Jennings, died in 2002), Lucinda Williams, John Hiatt, Ronnie Dunn, Iron and Wine, Sheryl Crow and Carolina Chocolate Drops will come together for "We Walk the Line: A Celebration of the Music of Johnny Cash" at ACL Live. Anchoring the night will be a backing band led by Was (also serving as the music director) with new Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ian McLagan, Buddy Miller, Kenny Aronoff and Greg Leisz.

Johnny Cash Remembered in New Book and Album July 19, 2013 (http://i.imgur.com/SScIpx6.jpg) Hulton Archive, Getty Images Johnny Cash‘s legacy will continue to live on in a new book and music collection. ‘LIFE Unseen: Johnny Cash — An Illustrated Biography’ will be released on Aug.13 in honor of the 10th anniversary of his death. The 192-page book will include rare and never-before-seen photos of the Man in Black from the Sony archives, as well as interviews with Cash and his family, and new memories shared by his children, Rosanne Cash and John Carter Cash. “I’d seen a lot of these photographs, but the ones I hadn’t seen before were really moving to me,” Rosanne Cash tells Nashville’s Tennessean. “They weren’t just kind of stock Johnny Cash pictures, but showed some side of him, some depth, that hadn’t really been captured before.” Legacy Records is releasing a new music collection in conjunction with the book. ‘LIFE Unheard: Johnny Cash,’ includes solo acoustic songs recorded at his House of Cash studio at his home in Hendersonville, Tenn., as well as live songs from the White House and Newport Folk Festival. The 12-song album also features a previously unreleased studio version of Ben Dewberry’s ‘Final Run,’ and ‘Movin’ Up,’ both recorded for Cash’s 1981 made-for-TV movie, ‘The Pride of Jesse Hallam.’ ::snipping3:: Title: Re: Johnny Cash fans in here Post by: MuffyBee on April 27, 2014, 06:06:37 PM http://tasteofcountry.com/johnny-cash-home-sells-barry-gibb/
Long-Time Johnny Cash Home Sells for $2 Million April 26, 2014 The house that Johnny Cash and June Carter called their home for over 40 years has now been sold. It was sold by Barry Gibb, from the classic rock group the Bee Gees, and his wife Linda. The two purchased the home with the intent of using it to spark their songwriting. The Hendersonville, Tenn. home was sold to Lakehouse Holdings for $2 million, according to the deed that was filed in March in Sumner County. According to the Tennessean, Rachelle Caudill from Hendersonville’s Realty Title and Escrow confirmed this was true on Tuesday (April 22), but couldn’t give out any more information because of privacy laws. The four-lot property sits at 200 Caudill Drive and is on Nashville’s Old Hickory Lake. The seven-bedroom house was built in 1968 and was purchased by Gibb and his wife for only $2.3 million. They had originally planned on renovating and restoring the home and were almost finished in 2007 when a fire destroyed most of the structure. After that the couple decided to change their plans and build a new home. They also decided it was best to preserve what was left of Cash’s home. ::snipping3:: Title: Re: Johnny Cash fans in here Post by: MuffyBee on July 19, 2014, 08:32:10 PM http://theboot.com/johnny-cash-bitter-tears-tribute-album/
Stars Come Together for Johnny Cash ‘Bitter Tears’ Tribute Album July 17, 2014 In honor of the 50-year anniversary of Johnny Cash‘s ‘Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian’ album, several artists have joined together to re-record the tracks as an all-star tribute album to the Man in Black. Cash originally released the record as a way to honor the history of Native Americans, while calling attention to the difficulties they faced. “Prior to ‘Bitter Tears,’ the conversation about Native American rights had not really been had,” producer Joe Henry says (quote via Radio.com), “and at a very significant moment in his trajectory, Johnny Cash was willing to draw a line and insist that this be considered a human rights issue, alongside the civil rights issue that was coming to fruition in 1964. But he also felt that the record had never been heard, so there’s a real sense that we’re being asked to carry it forward.” ‘Look Again to the Wind: Johnny Cash’s Bitter Tears Revisited’ includes appearances by Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Gillian Welch and more. See a complete track listing below. The album will be released on Aug. 19, right after the fourth annual Johnny Cash Music Festival, which occurs on Aug. 15. Held at Arkansas State University, the day will include performances by Loretta Lynn, Reba McEntire and Bobby Bare, among others. Proceeds benefit the Johnny Cash Boyhood Home Project, which is working to restore Cash’s childhood home in Dyes, Ark. More...

47 Years Ago: Johnny Cash Marries June Carter in Franklin, Ky March 1, 2015 Forty-seven years ago today (March 1, 1968) was a day of celebration for Johnny Cash and June Carter. It was on this day that the couple wed in Franklin, Ky. The two were married just one week after Cash proposed while they were performing together in London, Ontario, on Feb. 22. They initially met in 1956, backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, when Cash was still married to his first wife, Vivian Liberto. Their divorce was finalized by the end of 1967, and Cash didn’t waste any time in asking Carter to become his wife. Merle Kilgore, who co-wrote Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” served as the best man for the nuptials. Carter wore a light blue dress with matching flowers in her hair. A non-alcoholic reception was held at Cash’s home in Hendersonville, Tenn., following the ceremony. Cash and Carter each had three children before they got married; together, they had one son, John Carter Cash, who was born in 1970. Their love story remains one of the greatest of all time, lasting 35 years until June Carter Cash’s death in May of 2003. Johnny Cash passed away four months later, in September 2003. More...
