I have been on a Johnny Cash trip for over a month, he was such a cool dude. Something about a guy who can entertain ppl with a guitar and a voice - true talent. Young ppl nowadays mostly listen to digital music, music not made from instruments. All of us who are older, grew up listening to music that humans made from a instrument, not from a drum machine, or a synthesizer.

AMEN. I am young but I hate country music for what it's become. Well some of it. If I hear country on a pop station it's not country. My family had me listening to Tanya Tucker, The Judds, Mel Tillis, Tennessee Earnie Ford, Johnny Cash, June Carter, Patsy Cline...then my mom got me into Led Zeppelin, The Eagles...etc etc etc. I literally listen to EVERYTHING but 99% of my iPod is from circa 1979 and backwards. Everything...I LOVE motown. My favorite Johnny Cash song is Cocaine Blues. What's yours?

I like cocaine blues as well..i posted the video a few pages back. The lyrics to that song just blow me away. those lyrics (and attitude) from that song even in present day society, speak of a badass hell-raisin' dude, kicking *** and taking names.

I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head

I like a wide array of music as well, from 50's Elvis and 50's rock and roll, to Johnny Cash, 60's-70's rock(led zep, sabbath, eagles, neil young, skynard, etc), '79-'83 punk (misfits, minor threat, dead kenndys, etc) 80's-90's metal(iron maiden, '83-'89metallica, Slayer, Slipknot, Pantera). Being a drummer, I have really got into '58-'64 jazz (dave brubeck quartet, john coltrane) and that lead me into Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, etc

(featuring 'Papa' Jo Jones, IMHO the most influential drummer of all time)
YouTube - One O'Clock Jump - Count Basie (1943)

(featuring Joe Morello, my favorite drummer of all time)
YouTube - Blue Rondo a La Turk - LIVE part I head
YouTube - Blue Rondo a La Turk - Live Part II solos

(Untouchable Joe Morello on drums)

I really dig Adele right now. I love her voice. I also like Joss Stone. That girl has a set of pipes. I like all the bands and singers you listed.

I am listening to Neil Young as we "speak"

YouTube - Neil Young - Heart of Gold

YouTube - Adele - Rolling In The Deep

I love the blues and jazz too. I love singing karaoke (cheesy I know, but I don't play instruments...wish I did, played a clarinet for about 10 yrs, but I'd love to learn the drums)
Do you like the movie Walk the Line? I think Joaquin Phoenix slayed the part of Johnny Cash. It was awesome.

I love me some folk rock by Crosby, Nash, Stills, & Young or any combo of the four!

Actually, i havent seen it all the way thru. from what I have seen and heard about the movie, its everything a great movie needs to be. I just havent got around to seeing it from start to finish yet. I saw the Joaquin Phoenix cocaine blues clip on youtube and I think its really really really good (and I believe he recorded all the Cash songs for the movie, which is very impressive for an 'actor' to do). But if you listen to Johnny Cash sing it, he just goes another 2 gears ahead of where Joaquin Phoenix can go (cash's version seeps attitude, grit). I dont want to detract from anything that Phoenix did on the movie, because what he did was truly great. But there was only one Johnny Cash.

Don't get me wrong I'm a huge eminem fan and thought No Love was a great song, I'm just saying the eminem part was far better than the Lil Wayne part. I do enjoy 6 foot 7 foot though.

YouTube - Johnny cash-Hurt

the story behind the video(wikipedia):
The music video was directed by Mark Romanek who sought to capture the essence of Cash, both in his youth and in his frail older years. In a montage of shots of Johnny's early years as an icon, twisted imagery of fruit and flowers in various states of decay, seem to capture both his past and the stark reality of the present.

Romanek on his decision to focus on the House of Cash museum in Nashville:
"It had been closed for a long time; the place was in such a state of dereliction. That's when I got the idea that maybe we could be extremely candid about the state of Johnny's health, as candid as Johnny has always been in his songs."

71 years of age at the time of filming, Cash had serious health problems and his frailty is starkly evident in the video. June Carter died 3months after this video, he died 4 months after she did. "Hurt" is considered by many to be Cash's epitaph.


When Rick Rubin asked if Cash could cover his song, Reznor said he was "flattered" but worried that "the idea sounded a bit gimmicky." He became a fan of Cash's version, however, once he saw the music video.

Trent Reznor:
"I pop the video in, and wow... Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore... It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure."

I posted the Joaquin Phoenix version immediately after you posted the Cash version. I really liked the movie, actually paid to see it at the theater and bought the popcorn and sodas for about 20 bucks, then bought the CD. I thought Reese and Joaquin did a great job. I can actually remember the first time I heard Cash sing "Hurt." I actually posted that song on IE a while ago, just don't remember which thread. Maybe this one. I just thought..."WoW" when I heard it. Kind of like when I heard Elvis sing "I did it my way" just before he died.

Now Beau, you mention Neil Young. I own "the best of..." I think it is called Decade. He has the worst voice I have ever liked.

TDJayzus: You nailed it with Take Five ... one of my all time favorites.

Kneutered: I love (and agree with) your take on Neil's vocal "quality."

Kissimmee: One can never have too much Van the Man in one's life.

In honor of THE Kentucky Derby I'll check in with a touch of Bluegrass (best when taken with blue grass):

YouTube - FOGGY MOUNTAIN BREAKDOWN - FLATT & SCRUGGS

YouTube - Orange Blossom Special

Keeps my feet movin'!

Well......... if you guys are going to go throwing The Man in Black around, then I will see your Johnny Cash, and raise you one Waylon Jennings, and one Willie Nelson:

I'm not a big Country music fan at all, but this is a great song.

To dshans: and a complimentary piece to Foggy mountain Breakdown, I like Carl Story's Fire on the Banjo. Story's group was called the Rambling Mountaineers and West Virginia would like to take credit, but, alas he was from North Carolina and refined his craft in Virginia. Earl Scruggs was also from North Carolina. Lester Flatt was from Tennessee but refined his skills in Virginia as well, with a group called the Crazy Mountaineers. So, no matter how close we Real mountaineers come to this high-falooting string pickin', we can't claim any of it.
