I'm getting ready to watch "Walk the Line" and I love this song... the only other Johnny Cash I've heard is the NIN cover of "Hurt."

Cash fans what are the other greatest hits?

3/4/2006 1:26:00 AM

um every song he has ever made.

ok seriously, folsom prison blues, cocaine blues, I walk the line, jackson, a boy named sue, and the list goes on and on and on.

too many to name.

just get one of his cds. I reeally like his 1st American Recordings cd's with Rick Rubin.

Man In Black

I Still Miss Someone (Robert Earl Keen does a good cover of it, too)

Folsom Prison Blues (...shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die...

Sunday Morning Coming Down

Don't Take Your Guns To Town

A Boy Named Sue

I Walk the Line

Ballad of Ira Hayes (Ira Hayes was one of the Marines who raised the flag on Iwo Jima, who never really psychologically recovered from the combat)





Johnny Cash and Kris Kristopherson do a really good cover of Steve Earle's Devil's Right Hand, too.

"I shot a man just to watch him die..."

I've heard that referenced as a defense of hip-hop violence... somehow he's got a little more style.

3/4/2006 1:59:03 AM

Not really.

I mean, yeah, there's plenty of rap that deals badly with shit like that.

But it's not like there's never since been a good lyric about killing a man.

p.s. in Reno

3/4/2006 2:02:14 AM

I know this is [old] but Reese and the dude really do the voices? Do they do them justice?

yes in Reno, I'm sry.

[Edited on March 4, 2006 at 2:06 AM. Reason : Paging Reno 911!!!]

3/4/2006 2:05:14 AM

yeah they do the voices. they sing pretty good


oh and I completely forgot about "I've been everywhere" check that song out.

[Edited on March 4, 2006 at 2:10 AM. Reason : fdh]

3/4/2006 2:09:54 AM

yeah, good call. forgot about that one (I've Been Everywhere)

3/4/2006 2:12:46 AM

check out "give my love to rose" and "tennessee stud" and "the man who couldn't cry" and "delia's gone" and "the beast in me" and "why me lord" and "let the train blow the whistle" and "down there by the train." pretty much everything on his American Recordings CD.

I heard the beast in me for the first time after I saw the movie and I was like haha and I kept thinkin back to the movie.

Cry Cry Cry

Big River

Hey Porter

Get Rhythm

3/4/2006 10:13:41 AM

cash is at his best in live recordings. there's just something missing from his older studio stuff that appears in his live recordings. that being said, buy:

Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison
Johnny Cash at San Quentin

you will not regret it.

@ SQ along with "eat a peach" and "led zeppelin" I are my favorite albums of all time. every song on that album is spectacular and it includes JC talking with the crowd (if you get the remastered version) which can be really funny.

after you buy, listen to, and fall in love with @SQ you'll just have to have more so you'll buy @FP which has some great songs (i just prefer @SQ).

well
HE IS IN PRISON when he says that
so, its not like he is glorifying it

3/4/2006 12:39:20 PM

^In no way did I imply that... it's an awesome song, ppl need to STFU and hip hop needs some style and talent in my opinion.

I was just mentioning it.

3/4/2006 9:29:05 PM

as keefus said, buy the live prison albums.

3/4/2006 10:25:18 PM

Like oh my god i REALLY love johnny cash!!! he is totally one of my favorite singers EVER@@!!!!


he's the old guy that covered the nine inch nails and had that AWESOME video on MTV, rite?

3/4/2006 11:47:09 PM

I'll agree with everyone else and recommend the prison albums.

As for songs I enjoy:

Folsom Prison Blues
San Quentin
A Boy Named Sue
Dark as the Dungeon
Worried Man
I Got Stripes
Cocaine Blues
The Long Black Veil
Jackson
I Walk The Line
I Still Miss Someone
Don't Take Your Guns to Town
Drive On

As for the voices in the flick, they're pretty good. Not dead on, but reasonable enough to continue the illusion created by excellent acting. Hell, Reese is a better singer than June ever was.
