Walking the Line with Johnny Cash

One of the things that I learned listening to the stories that Shawn Barker told was that a Johnny and I had a few things in common. One is that we can both play the harmonica and two is that we both love trains.

His son, John Carter Cash, said: "I believe my father's voice remains an orchestra in his own right. His iconic, unique timbre and tone is not shadowed by the surrounding symphonic music, nor is it subdued by it.
"The pairing works beautifully."

The recordings include 'Man In Black' and 'Ring Of Fire', plus Cash's duets 'Girl From The North Country' with Bob Dylan and 'The Loving Gift' with his five-time Grammy award-winning late ex-wife, June Carter Cash.

 
I’m sure no fan of Johnny Cash.

His first wife and mother of his four children was a friend of mine as Vivian Cash and I bowled together many years ago. As a friend she was beautiful, inside and out. He made life hell for her with his drug and alcohol addictions, not to mention women.

He wrote “I Walk the Line” for Vivian and when I hear him sing that it turns my stomach.

He was a liar and a cheat just like so many others of his kind, and June Carter is no better.

I watched his last performance in 2003 and when he started singing “I Walk the Line” with no apparent shame, he proved once again he hadn’t learned a dang thing.

Being generous on the other hand, maybe when he sang it for the last time he was thinking of her. He died in 2003 and Vivian died in 2006.
