Favorite Johnny Cash song?

[GDC]

Hard to say, but the one about building a car one piece at a time is pretty good. Also, "Sunday Morning Coming Down", but it's so depressing.

[Fugue]

Man in Black

[BigRedJed]

Best song? Probably Sunday Morning Coming Down. Best country song ever.

Song I most like to sing along with? Ring of Fire.

But my favorite Johnny Cash song? A Boy Named Sue. It's not even close.

[King Crimson]

Big River

[KABOOKIE]

Ring of Fire.

[AustinTXHorn]

Folsom Prison Blues

[yermom]

Ring of Fire.

after the movie i certainly like that one more

[royalfan5]

1. Sunday Morning
2. Walk the Line
3. Daddy Sang Bass
4. Folsom Prison Blues
5. Ghost Riders in the Sky
6. Ring of Fire
7. Get Rythem
8. Hey Porter

Seperate Catergory of the American Recordings with Rick Rubin
1. Personal Jesus
2. Hurt
3. One
4. Won't Back Down.

[BigRedJed]

Best song? Probably Sunday Morning Coming Down. Best country song ever...
Of course, I might not be the most objective source for that pronouncement. Other than Loretta Lynn's collaboration with Jack White, I hate almost all "country" recorded since, oh, about 1975.

[BigRedJed]

That's right. I roll old school.

[yermom]

i've only recently begun to appreciate classic country

i still haven't heard the real version of Jolene

the White Stripes version rawks though

[JohnnyMack]

Cocaine Blues.

[jk the sooner fan]

I really like Jackson

i wish i could figure out the name of the song that the two of them sang together the first time in the movie......the one where he interupted the song by kissing her on the cheek

outside all that, my favorite is "Get Rhythm"

[pb4ou]

Guy named Sue

[Mjcpr]

Man Named Sue

[crawfish]

His best album is "Live at Folsom Prison".

Boy Named Sue is probably my favorite song.

[Mjcpr]

This Dude Named Sue

[jk the sooner fan]

This cat they call Sue

[Mjcpr]

This cat they call Sue

That one's my 4th favorite.

[JohnnyMack]

i wish i could figure out the name of the song that the two of them sang together the first time in the movie......the one where he interupted the song by kissing her on the cheek


The one she said she wrote to do with her first husband?

[jk the sooner fan]

The one she said she wrote to do with her first husband?

yes

[Mjcpr]

I think it was called "I'll Never Marry Another".

[jk the sooner fan]

no i dont think so

its not on the soundtrack.....bastards

[GDC]

I think it was called "I'll Never Marry Another".

Or was it "It Aint Me Babe"?

[Mjcpr]

"Somebody Here Smells Like ***"

Was that it?

[yermom]

the one with her previous husband was Time's a Wastin' i think

[GDC]

Anybody here actually have Johnny Cash LP's? I don't, but my folks drug theirs out after they went to see the movie.

[TopDawg]

the one with her previous husband was Time's a Wastin' i think

yep

[jk the sooner fan]

yep thats it, you rock yermom!

thanks

[TopDawg]

My faves are Folsom, Jackson, Sue and Ain't Me Babe.

My favorite on the soundtrack is Jackson. My favorite by Cash is Sue.

[KC//CRIMSON]

My faves are Folsom, Jackson, Sue and Ain't Me Babe.

My favorite on the soundtrack is Jackson. My favorite by Cash is Sue.

Ditto. Plus Orange Blossom Special

[soonerjoker]

"whiskey river" & "bloody mary mornin" are excellent.
the one about building a caddy "one piece at a time" is cute, but
"cute" wears out.

folsom is also very good.

[Al Gore]

I don't think I have ever listened to a complete song by Johnny Cash...

[okienole3]

Sunday Morning Coming Down is written by Kris Kristoferson, but yeah it is probably the best country music song of all time. I like Get Rhythm

[okienole3]

Of course, I might not be the most objective source for that pronouncement. Other than Loretta Lynn's collaboration with Jack White, I hate almost all "country" recorded since, oh, about 1975.

Jed, you should check out some of the Red Dirt musicians. They definitely have that 1975 outlaw vibe.

Dang. I'm glad you didn't read any of my dumb responses.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I never was a Johnny Cash fan, he always sounded like he was battling congestion. I'm still a Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard fan though.

He sounded better later in his life.....:rolleyes:

[IB4OU2]

That's my point H. I could'nt stand his voice when he was young and when he got older it was beyond horrible.

No disrespect to him because he was a great songwriter........

Why do you hate AG???

[Okla-homey]

"Ring if Fire" is my fav.

"Big River" has the best beat and is very fun to listen to.

[okienole3]

Why do you hate AG???

I don't, Johnny Cash does.

[william_brasky]

Girl from the North Country - duet with Bob Dylan - very nice

High Five!

[NickZeppelin]

Wow there's so many.

Probably A Boy Named Sue, Fulsom Prison Blues, or his cover of the NIN song Hurt.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

That's my point H. I could'nt stand his voice when he was young and when he got older it was beyond horrible.

No disrespect to him because he was a great songwriter........Oh I thought you were rolling them at me.

[Okieflyer]

Ring of Fire.

Ditto!

[1stTimeCaller]

Song he covers or song he wrote? I sure see a lot of covers being thrown around up there.

[GDC]

Song he covers or song he wrote? I sure see a lot of covers being thrown around up there.

I was just thinking in terms of any song he performed, whether he wrote it or not.

[1stTimeCaller]

Sunday Morning Coming Down then probably a tie between Rong of Fire and Wanted Man

[OUAndy1807]

"Let The Train Blow The Whistle"

I don't want no aggravation
When my train has left the station
If you're there or not,
I may not even know
Have a round and remember
Things we did that weren't so tender
Let the train blow the whistle when I go

On my guitar sell tickets
So someone can finally pick it
And tell the girls down at the Ritz
I said hello
Tell the gossipers and liars
I will see them in the fire
Let the train blow the whistle when I go

Let her blow, let her blow
Long and loud and hard and happy
Let her blow No regrets, all my debts will be paid
When I get laid Let her blow, let her blow, let her blow

You'll be left without excuses
For the evils and abuses
Down to today from years and years ago
And have yourself another toke
From my basket full of smoke
And let the train blow the whistle when I go

Let her blow, let her blow
Long and loud and hard and happy
Let her blow No regrets, all my debts will be paid
When I get laid Let her blow, let her blow, let her blow

[SCOUT]

One Piece At a Time

Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

CHORUS
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
Now, I never considered myself a thief
GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got thru
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.

CHORUS
I got it one piece at a time
And it didn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

(Spoken) Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

[Pieces Hit]

Ring of Fire - hands down.

My wife likes it when I do my Johnny impersonation.

And it burns burns burns....

[jk the sooner fan]

[Pieces Hit]

"Jackson" is pretty good too.
