Rumin Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The only man to be inducted into the Country Hall of Fame, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Songwriters Hall of Fame. A huge musical influence on so many other great musicians. It doesn't get much better than Johnny Cash.This November, a movie starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon will be released, titled 'Walk The Line'. The movie is a biopic of Cash's life, similar to movies such as Ali and Ray. I'm really looking forward to it because I'm a big Johnny Cash fan.So anyway, discuss your favorite Cash songs, facts, or memories here. For those of you who don't know much about him, check out his music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gnr>everything Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 When I was like 10 I went to a Hard Rock Cafe in Baltimore and there was a picture of a guy flipping off the crowd right next to our booth, so it kinda looked like he was flipping us off. I never knew who it was, and santana has just solved this mystery for me. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very emotional.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Same here. The first time I heard the original version, I knew the song was going to be an instant classic. The first time I heard Johnny's version, I totally forgot about the original. That song was totally fitting of Johnny Cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumin Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 I want to hear that cover too. Also, check out "The Wanderer" with Johnny Cash and U2. It's a pretty song."I went wanderingWith just the thought of youI went wanderingThinking you would be there" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santana Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I'm gonna go buy American 3 & 4...Any others I should buy?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>They just released a new box set, The Legend Box Set. It has 4 discs, with a lot of his early and classic recordings, and even some of the newer songs he did with American. It's hard to say what to get because he recorded so much... Some of the best are:All of the American recordings. At Folsom Prison.The Original Sun RecordingsJohnny Cash Sings Hank Williams and Other Favorites.
