@@dominickjustave3558 ACTUALLY YES ,20 YEARS BEFORE....Snoop loves Mr Cash Music,1 Is anybody who can appreciate the art of good music loves Johnny Cash...
@LuisChavez-qq8sv: Indeed! Actually - BOTH Johnny Cash's LIVE concert albums ( recorded LIVE in front of a live audience of prison inmates ) are brilliant - 1) Folsom ( State ) Prison - "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison" ( 1968, ) and 2) San Quentin ( State ) Prison - "Johnny Cash at San Quentin" ( 1969. ) Both Folsom State Prison and San Quentin State Prison are located in California. Johnny Cash had previously given live-on-stage, charity, concerts for prison inmates at various prisons. He was very pro- prison reform. Johnny Cash had previously recorded a non- live version of "Folsom Prison Blues" as a single ( in 1955, ) and then for his album "Johnny Cash and His Hot and Blue Guitar" ( 1957. ) The non- live version peaked at #4 on the charts. But it was the LIVE version, recorded for "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison," that was a MONSTER hit - in 1968 ( #1 on the charts. )
Johnny Cash, what an incredible storyteller. You really will enjoy "One Piece at a Time" and "25 Hours to Go". Who am I kidding I love ALL of Johnny Cash songs.
@Miles Doyle No offence sir but how long did it take you to type out all that shit to send to me and why did you think I would need it? A year after I posted my comment ! On the channel of these fine people! YOU FAIL ME!!!
Johnny went to his record company with the idea of recording a live album in prison. They said NO. He said he would pay for the recording of it, and if they didn't like the final cut, then OK, no record. I guess you know the results!
I think my favorite part of the entire album, even more than the songs, is during a break when the prisoners learn that they are recording a live album. Johnny says, "Yeah, we're recording a live album for Columbia Records, and you can't say hell or shit (bleeped on the original) or anything like that." Then like a boss he turns to Columbia rep Bob Johnston and says, "How's that grab ya, Bob?" 😆👍
Yes this track is from the album Live at Folsom prison. Another great track from that album is "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer". Many other great tracks from that album as well...
That recording is from January 13, 1968. He did another one a year late, at San Quentin. prison. He sings A Boy Named Sue. Check that one out. You will be glad you did.
I also didn't expect this from Johnny Cash back when I first heard it, I ALSO didn't expect it when I found out that Woodie Guthrie did it decades before... even weirder hearing him do it tbh
All music from the '60s & '70s be it Country, Pop Or Rock was real music not like today where it is auto-tuned, an American idol U know. Great reaction.
Johnny Cash swings from songs like this to religious songs. as somewhere inbetween, i suggest 'Jackson' which he often performed in duet with his wife June. there is a live version on youtube which you should watch together so you can take sides. love what you're doing - keep it up.
This song was originally recorded in 1948 by Country musician Bob Hogsed, great song that has been recorded by Country,Blues and Rock Thank you for introducing the music to a newer generation and keeping the music alive. Love you channel.
Thank you Thank you doing the songs that Johnny Cash fans love! Everyone does Hurt, which is good. But this is Johnny Cash that made us love him!! Jackson and Understand Your Man are good ones.
At the end there, the announcement was for two inmates that had visitors. The A before their name was their number. They went 100,000 in each letter, and by 1990 were up to the middle of E. That song is a remake of an old 1930's Folk song called Transfusion Blues. Cash sings that version too.
@TLM Quotes from a book people wrote. It is useless other than as an example of self-serving propaganda. Think of the oceans of blood spilled in the name of some idiotic gods and the unending profit people have made off religion. It is evil.
As a young boy I loved Johnny Cash every Wednesday night infact country was all I listened to until 7th grade other then a little Rock and Roll born in 1955 south FL what a life for kids. His live showes were great
He did indeed performed this song at Folsom Prison. In the Movie "Walk the line" we see that his recording company was against the Idea of him performing in a prison. Saying his fans was mainly Christians and they wouldn't like to see him play for criminals. Johnny said "Well, they are not good Christians then" and didn't care. Saying that he's going to play at Folsom prison, provide them recordings and they can do whatever they want with it. Ended up that album have been the biggest seller in 1969. Even sold more than The Beatles.
Per Wikipedia, "Cocaine Blues" is a Western swing song written by T. J. "Red" Arnall, a reworking of the traditional song "Little Sadie". Other singers, such as Woody Guthrie have covered the version you just heard by Johnny Cash. One of Johnny Cash's other songs, not well known, that I love is Starkville Mississippi Jail. Happy Listening.
Johnny was " Outlaw Country " along w/ Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Chris Kristofferson ( kinda), David Allen Coe, &Charlie Daniels. I jus wouldn't go searching too deep into David Allen Coe's stuff, u might find something u & Tasha dont want to hear.Hes a unique individual to put it lightly ! Great review!🍻🍸
I really love your Johnny Cash videos i'm glad he's getting his dues as one of they greatest story tellers in history of music! You should do I hung my head it's a deep song man had a voice like no other.
This a version of the traditional song “Little Sadie”. I believe the original is from the 1930’s . The Cocaine Blues version came a little later. But this is in my opinion the best version of all.
there are 2 great singers you should watch the story of, johnny cash and ray charles. they both took the hard road to where they got to. both good movies.
A lot of country music has an upbeat tempo which belies the content of the lyrics. To give an idea as to why Cash always wore black you should listen to “Man in Black” Another song I like is “Tennessee Flat Top Box” sung by Johnny Cash. Or “Sunday Morning Coming Down” written by Kris Kirstofferson.
This is a version of an old folk song alternately titled "Little Sadie" . Bob Dylan did a couple of versions of it. Many covers, but Johnny added it to his set and added his own lyrics. or borrowed them from an Inmate.
Awesome song!!! love me some Johnny but this song just shows his everything... He went through his drug addiction and everything ... you have to love him
Johnny Cash was one of the greats and will be remembered as such. Another great was Marty Robbins and along with Hank Snow was a brilliant country story teller, his El Paso, Running gun, They’re hanging me tonight are just three of the many brilliant stories sung by Marty Robbins. Hank Snow, I’ve been everywhere, millers cave, etc.
You want a Johnny Cash journey? React to his two live prison albums: "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison" and "Johnny Cash at San Quentin". You will get a great grasp of his storytelling and his appeal. The man was a legend. His is in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Country Music Hall of Fame and The Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
“ you had one song to sing, one song to sum up your time on Earth. One song that God and everyone know where you were coming from because that is what people want to here. -walk the Line
I've just discovered your channel and have been loving your reactions, especially to country. This was the music I grew up on. In one of your reaction video (I can't remember which one, as I've listened to several tonight), it was mentioned about whether or not this type of story telling with such emotion, was still happening in the genre. MHO is no. Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Conway Twitty, etc. were the heart of country. Like when a grandparent dies, the family is never the same. And when these people have gone, the country music family is not the same. George Jones did a song entitled "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?" that touches on what I've been saying. If you decide to react to this song, please make sure to watch the official video as it is part of the story. Many stars that are mentioned in the song had already passed, thus motivating the question as to who will fill their shoes. Thank you for such enjoyable videos, and keep it up.
Really like you guys! Love Johnny Cash! As soon as this COVID thing is over I’m taking my 13 year old son on a road trip to the Johnny Cash Museum and to Graceland! A road trip from Ontario, Canada. A fellow proud Canadian! Peace and love you guys!
Uncle Bill Quit Dope- another song from J.C. that tells a great story- This guy made songs about a part of life the majority of America ignored, way before others thought about it
