Johnny Cash spent the last 15+ years in extreme jaw pain. The reason why was cause if he had surgery he would never sing again, and he refused pain pills cause he didn't want to relapse back to his pill addiction. And he couldn't dream of a life without being able to sing. So he lived with the pain to do what he loved
One of my favorite Johnny Cash moments: The warden asked him not to sing any songs that would remind the prisoners that they're in prison and Johnny said "Do you think they forgot?"
lmao
That was Joaquin Phoenix who said that.
Johnny Cash played the maximum security San Quentin prison on new year's day 1958 and a young and still unknown Merle Haggard was one of the inmates in the crowd. That day helped Merle on his way to becoming a country music star like Johnny.
Edit: History channel says 1958 but other sources say 1959. Being new year's day it's easy to see how some got it wrong.
Thought it was 1968?
@@joedirt3449 His first prison concert was January 1st of either 1958 or 1959. There's conflicting info out there but I now think 1959 seems more likely. He went back in 1969 and played Folsom prison in 1968.
Merle Haggard went in in 1957 at the age of 18.
@@MatthewC137both of those albums are two of my favorite Cash albums. If I had to pick, I’d have to go with San Quentin. I love not only the music, but him talking/relating to the inmates, as well! You could hear the energy in so many songs, but for some reason(IMO) The Wreck of the Old 97 seemed to be pretty electric!
He is definitely my favorite and a personal hero for reasons, and one of his daughters (Kathy) who helped me through a tough time. I don’t know if he’s your favorite or not, but it’s obvious you sure know a lot about him, and I really appreciate that! Have a Happy New Year, and God bless you, fellow Cashaholic!
Thanks! I didn't know that about Merle!! I love him too.
I was at that show! Serving 2-5 for B&E.
When my son was 13 years old, I took him to an open mic night at a country bar. He could really kill it on guitar at 13.
He walked up to the stage and launched into "Cocaine Blues."
I turned to a woman sitting next to me at the bar and said, "CPS is going to be coming after me!"
Cocaine Blues predated Cash. It was first recorded in 1929, called Little Sadie (same story and tune without the cocaine) by Clarence Ashley, a traveling folk singer who hooked up with an early record producer. The coke lyrics came in some time between Ashley's song and 1947 when it was recorded by two artists, one went to number 15 on the national charts. Murder ballads are one of the major roots of country, dozens if not hundreds of them were written, usually by unknown, often with tunes that went back to England.
Now, about Cash. He grew up dirt poor in Arkansas and did his early recordings in the same studio as Elvis Presley. Through a lot of his early career he was strung out on speed, his second wife and mother-in-law saved his life probably, although they would have given the credit to Jesus. His few fairly minor scraps with the law got noticed in the press so those guys in Folsom knew he was one of them who'd gotten lucky.
So was Merle Haggard, who was in the audience when Cash played San Quentin and had his first TV appearance on The Johnny Cash Show.
Bluegrass is full of stories like this. Folks who complain about violence (or sex) in rap music need to check some other genres! I'd love to see a reaction to "Pretty Polly".
@@matthewdooley7855 Ralph Stanley and Patty Loveless live? Or maybe Banks of The Ohio, Doc Watson and Earl Scruggs?
Johnny Cash had a time when he was addicted to drugs and got himself is trouble. While high he accidentally set a forest fire which burned Hundreds of acres of land. He was arrested for trying to smuggle amphetamines into the US via Mexico. He never saw time in prison, but he did see the inside of a jail on several occasions. He hit rock bottom then decided he was going to die if he didn’t get sober.
I saw an interview where Johnny Cash said that his favorite places to do a show was prisons..the crowds were very energetic.
Definitely "The Man in Black" should be next!
LIVE for sure. Should always be the first song for Johnny. 🤙
The fact that Johnny played in prison made some people think he had been in prison. (Did have some brushes with the law). Merle Haggard was in the "audience" at Johnny's prison concert. He feared what fans would think if they knew. His friend Johnny Cash encouraged him to just tell them. And yes, Merle Haggard was a beloved country music artist. RIP Hag.
Johnny Cash is an Original Gangster. He played many shows in prison.
Sunday Morning Coming Down, one of Johnny's best. Written by Kris Kristofferson, another legend.
Hurt
The story of Kris flying a chopper to Johnny's house to introduce him to this song is wild AF
Sunday Morning Coming Down is one of the best songs ever written by Kristoferson and ever performed by Cash.
@@williamsloan5228 Chris actually sang it also. It was pretty good.
Johnny had addictions.
Johnny Cash has been called "The Godfather of Gangsta Rap". Don't forget that.
25 minutes to go is a great Johnny Cash song
Definitely Folsom Prison Blues. I grew up listening to him because of my father and I've loved him ever since the first day I heard him.
Same here......
Same here.
I'll always have a soft spot for Cash, Waylon, Jones, Daniels, Merle, Hank Jr because of my pops.
Haha I remember he took me to Nashville when I turned 21 and I asked him if Cash really lived "the man in black" or if it was more of a gimmick. I honestly thought he was going to stop the car in the middle of I-30 and make me walk to the hotel.
He just shook his head and mumbled a couple cuss words under his breath. And he didn't have to say anything else because that response told me more than any spoken dialogue could have.
RIP to the legends, man.
That’s the one! Folsom Prison Blues!
@@jjayp1 that's about how my dad feels about him as well. And yes. Living long while their music lives through our souls and we spread it ❤️
Yes. Folsom Prison Blues. But the version with Willie Nelson. Album is called Story Tellers.
Another vote for Folsom Prison Blues!
"25 minutes to go", is a must. From the same album.
You can watch it. It was videoed. Johnny Cash live in Folsom Prison. Merle Haggard was a inmate and heard him. He turned out to be a legend himself
The P.A. announcement at the end of the song is basically calling for a beat down on a couple of inmates. The prison told Johnny to cut it from the album but he left it in. Fucking legend.
I also think one of the things about Johnny is his devotion to his wife June Carter (and hers to him). I always loved their performances of "Jackson" - you should check out one of the live versions of that --- you can see how much they loved each other.
...FUN FACT: Elvis and Johnny met at Sun studios in Memphis around 1955, and in the early days, even did shows together....well, neither knew that they grew up just 50 miles apart! Johnny in a small house in a cotton patch near Dyess, AR....and, Elvis in a city subsidized housing project near downtown Memphis!
I love watching your reactions to songs I grew up on! You gotta check out his songs "Rock Island Line", "Man In Black", "One Piece at a Time", "Don't Take Your Guns to Town", "Ragged Old Flag", "Five Feet High and Rising", "Jackson", and "Get Rhythm". Johnny Cash is my all time favorite singer. His story telling is second to none!
All of these for sure ❤️
ragged flag is dope af
Man in Black will make both the chest and the tears swell.
I really like "ain't no good chain gang" "I drove her out of my mind" and "Stripes"
@@Wearywastrel Ain't No Good Chain Gang with Waylon Jennings is a great song also! There are too many to think off. It'd be great to see their reactions to Waylon Jennings songs as well. The outlaw country era was pretty awesome.
"Were You There (When They Crucified My Lord)" gives me chills every time that I hear it! When I was in church choir, we'd sing it every Lenten mass; hard not to get misty-eyed.
But Johnny singing it with his wife is pure magic!
Great proaction! Can't wait for you guys to check out Folsom Prison Blues soon. Its the 1st song on this album
Johnny recorded more than 1,500 songs. The man sung about everything under the sun. There was a three CD set released, titled Love, God, Murder, where each album was filled with songs from one of the three categories. Johnny is the legend of legends. There will never be another like him
Delia's Gone. Every old time country singer had a "end your wife" song. When CMT refused to play Delia's Gone Johnny responded with the iconic full page ad in Rolling Stone where he flips off the camera.
You two HAVE to watch the movie Walk the Line. So good!
Was just thinking the same thing
As someone who has heard every song he’s done and has most albums (either vinyl or cd) and is a huge fan and has learned a lot about him/his life, I have to say after you finished playing the song and both gave your thoughts to him, his music, what you think it means, you both nailed it! Yes, he could relate to anyone. Yes, he was authentic. He didn’t look down on anyone. He wanted to lift people up. That’s also part of what’s behind him starting to wear black. Thanks so much for doing this! I’ve enjoyed all of your reactions, but especially when it comes to Johnny Cash, my favorite.
The story about the middle finger picture makes it a million times better. Through the 50's, 60's, 70's Cash made the record company a grip of money and was their big star. In the 80's he started falling off and the label dropped like he was one album artist. In the 90's he was playing dinner theaters to small audiences. At the same time Rick Rubin had left Def Jam the label he started. Rubin started another label either Def America or American Recordings, but he was lost not knowing who he wanted to work with. He got the idea to approach Cash to see if he wanted to make a record and he was unsure but they decided to get together and see what came of it. Anyway Rick Rubin and Cash went on the make some of Johnnys best records including the version of Hurt you listened to. I think the record went to number one. Cash to out a full page add in the NY Times giving the middle finger to the record company that dropped him.They mad like 4 albums together mostly just Cash and a guitar and a lot of covers of modern songs. Its really good material. Check out the Man Comes Around.
Johnny Cash is one of the best. George Jones would be another great one to check out. Who's going fill their shoes is one I would recommend
I remember watching a special (documentary)about this and they showed the concert on TV..
I was a kid.
BB King Live at Cook County Jail is great too. Delilah is Tom Jones (What's new Pussicat) Cash's The Man in Black is HEARTBREAKING and smart.
the song is Delilahs gone
This is a different side of Johnny cash. I’d say it’s even on the other side of Boy named Sue. He hits slices of life, I’ve experienced these blues.
I think most people can relate to Johnny Cash's struggles in life. It spans generations. As you point out, he's a great storyteller while using just a few words to do it.
Cocaine Blues is an old song from from 1929 Little Sadie on to Country Western Swing Billy Hughes - Cocaine Blues 1947 and only refers to a Hypodermic but Ray Hogeshead actually says Cocalne in his 1948 version and they make it sound like the are having a great fun loving time being gangsters and snorting and shooting up Coke , fast forward to gangster rap in the 90s ,same thing different era .. The coke, morphine and heroin drug culture in the US goes way back before the 20th century was even much thought about ..
Man In Black and One Piece at a Time definitely need to be the next two
Johnny Cash is a great story teller you have to keep that in mind.
That entire concert is legendary.
The prisoners loved him and were very respectful
Just so you know, back in the day plenty criticized Cash and the other outlaws in the same way they did and do hip hop. There will always be self righteous people who try to pretend like the dark stuff doesn't exist and they will always try to silence voices that hold a mirror.
One of the greatest live albums ever recorded, and Mearle Haggard was an inmate in the crowd.
Listen to the whole album in it's entirety. It's fucking mint.
I am 66 years old. I got Johnny Cash"s San Quentin album for Christmas when I was 12. My friends were listening to the Beatles and the Monkees. They thought I wasn't wrapped to tight. 😅
I think Don nailed it on the idea of some people are icons above and beyond their art and fame. Johnny Cash means more than just his music, just like Mohammed Ali was so much more than his amazing boxing career, and Jimmy Carter did so much more than his term as President. not to make a political statement but rather a comment on all his work for charities like habitat for humanity and all the amazing things Ali did for so many. Some men are true icons that show us how to be better people than we might be now.
That Johnny Cash song is called "Delia's Gone." Tom Jones had a song called "Delilah," which was also about him shooting a woman. (This is starting to seem like a whole genre. Lol...)
Young Johnny Cash was a wild man. His wife did an amazing job helping him. He also had a distinctive guitar style, making a sound like there's a train heading down the track. Cash always cared about people - so many of his songs shine a spotlight on a group of people, like prisoners or native americans, or just working people.
lovelovelove this song!
Johnny was wild! His stories are true.
You betcha🤠
I Drove her out of my Mind is another good song by Johnny Cash.
He spent time in Folsum Prison love Johnny❤
Always liked Dont take your gun to town, Give my Love to Rose and Jackson.
Sunday Morning coming down is my favorite cash jam
my grandma used to play his greatest hits cd so I’d go to sleep 😭 from like 4-8 I listened to him pretty much every single night.
Outlaw Country at it's best!!! ❣❣❣ *RIP* Man in Black, we miss you* ❣❣❣
Johnny married June Carter, from a famous musical family in the south. June wrote Ring of Fire about her relationship with Johnny, who was a divorce and a drug addict. "I fell into a burning ring of fire, i went down down down, and the flames went higher. And it burns burns burns, the ring of fire. the ring of fire."
You almost had it, June wrote that song about her ex before Johnny, that’s why they played it together live on the Johnny cash show way back when, Before they got married.
He did beat the addiction, he beat it 3 years before Elvis died. That’s roughly the time he was roommates with Waylon Jennings, Waylon did write a song about Johnnys addiction called “I’m a long way from home”. It’s a beautiful song! Really tugs the heart strings, Waylon’s son redid it for the walk the line movie, he did a great job!
Love it . Johnny Cash’s music is always a crazy story. Can’t wait for you pro re-actors to do 13 it’s hands down my favorite cash song . Glad Black Pegasus is getting down with the man in black 🔥🔥🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🐐🐐🐐
"Delia" is the Cash song about murdering a woman. "Delilah" is the same theme, but it's by Tom Jones.
You hit the nail on the head. Johnny Cash was a great story teller. All of his songs (even the covers) are / were so relatable. He could make you "feel" whatever it was that he was talking about.
This song came from an old folk song popularized by Doc Watson. He married into the Carter family which was one of the first recording artists.
Y’all should just review the whole album. Usually I don’t like live albums, but this is really special. Once I’m a lifetime performance and setting.
If you don’t do the whole thing, at least do “25 minutes to go.”
Delia’s Gone is the other song you were talking about. It along with Cocaine Blues are my favorite Johnny Cash songs. I also love Bird on a Wire.
You should watch Walk the Line they recreate the cocaine blues performance.
Delilah is a Tom Jones song and it is also pretty dark.
Writing music and poetry is personal, you write what you lived, see, hear, and feel. The best songs are from a personal point of view.. You will love - When Uncle Bill Quit Dope
They sang real songs because they were real back then.🌹
Listen to Johnny and June doing Jackson and Johnny doing old 97 both live.
Love 20 minutes away from Folsom prison. They have a trail named after Johnny Cash here “ Johnny Cash Trail “..Dude is a LEGEND
“ Live “
Man in black is a must watch explains his life. A rare video is Drums, or The Ballard of Ira Hayes (same album)
Love the man in black 🙌
I recommend you the movie "Walk the Line" about Cash's life, amazing.
Bro I am a diehard Johnny Cash fan. I will be here for every video…I swear!!! Some of my favorites are GET RYTHYM, BIG RIVER, ONE PIECE AT A TIME, JACKSON
Jonny cash I hung my head is one of the best pb
Classic. Around the time the "Man in Black" persona came to be.
A Boy Named Sue. Poet, author, songwriter, Shel Silverstein is the man. Check out his work.
This song has been around a lot longer than Cash. It's so old that no one really knows where its from. The earliest version I've heard was "little sadie". Its older than old.
That's folk music. :)
Five Feet High And Rising, I Still Miss Someone,Further On Down The Road,The Man Comes Around are all good Cash songs.
Folsom Prison Blues, for sure. Make sure to get the live video from inside the prison. They LOVE him!
In the mid 60's as a teenager i saw Jonny and the Carter family in Montgomery, Al. about a few blocks from Alabama State Prison. He had about 50 prisoners in a section behind him. He made sure they all got popcorn and drinks. What a good show.
That is amazing
Sunday morning coming down and Going to Jackson.
If you ever go to Nashville. You have got to go through his museum it’s great:
Man in Black. You cannot miss no matter what you choose. If you want deep, try his last song - Hurt - recorded live in his last few weeks before he died.
The artists that perform in prisons are artists that have been in prison or at least county jail. It is just one of "those" experiences that will change a person to the core. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Either way some people still rise above and become successful afterwards. But the really great human beings ( in my opinion ) are the ones that will (if possible) go back and somehow give hope to the others once they have climbed out of hell.
You Guys Need to react to Johnny Cash Ragged Old Flag
Oh man, another timeless classic I grew up on. Lovin' it fam! Thanks!
The Man Comes Around
Love Johnny Cash
His last release was “Hurt”. It’s a journey from his early days to present time. He reflects on his past and ironically died shortly later. Love and respect.
He made that song HIS. That's from Trent Reznor who wrote it.
That was only one song on a group of CD's he relesed before his death called the American Recordings.
In case you didnt know. The song ring of fire was actually written by june carter cash. The song was about johnny cash
Johnny Cash was the man! RIP
Merle Haggard was actually serving a sentence at Folsom and was able to see Johnny play.
Man in Black deserves a reaction imo
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone.
Check out “Folsom Prision Blues”, please!
Yes!
I appreciate what you said about themes in hip-hop. Art has to be free. We need art to give us perspectives on what really happens in life.
Waylon Jennings did what I consider the best version of Delia's Gone. It is haunting and it never fails to give me chills. The melody on Waylon's version reminds me of the folk song House of the Rising Sun. "Jailer, oh jailer, tell me -- how do I sleep, when all around my jail cell, I hear little Delia's feet." Give it a listen.
Johnny Cash the original Gangsta.
" A boy named Sue" is a rap song before rap songs exist :D - "They overtook me at Juarez Mexico" is true , he was really arrested in Juarez ,Mexico with pills in his guitar
So glad you took our advice on this one! It's a classic!
"MAN IN BLACK" LIVE - "ONE PIECE AT A TIME" 💚🤙
My wife's prized 2 most possessions are 2 original Johnny Cash singles which were first made in metal records and not the vinyl later records were made from.
I'm a photographer and one of my greatest honors was to meet Johnny and June's life long personal and professional photographer. I own multiple photos of Johnny and June from their wedding that are completely unknown outside the family and very close friends.
The photographer actually got permission from Johnny and June to give me the photos due to how private they are. I've had many offers but I will never let alone see them because the only thing was asked of me from Johnny, June and the photographer were to never sell them or publish them.
I know the whole story about you should never meet your hero's but with Johnny it was completely different, he was even more kind, soft spoken, humble, and every other positive you could think of.
Also a somber story " the ballad of Ira Hays" I think I spelled that right... The lyrics gets to me every time..
My Daddy's favorite Johnny Cash song was "I got it One Piece at a Time"
take a look at 'San Quentin' live in San Quentin. the inmates loved it XD
i would love to hear and see a reaction to johnny cash when the man comes around from you please thank you
"Ain't No Grave" let's gooooooo!
