Bob Dylan
"Of course, I knew of him before he ever heard of me. In ’55 or ’56, “I Walk the Line” played all summer on the radio, and it was different than anything else you had ever heard. The record sounded like a voice from the middle of the earth. It was so powerful and moving. It was profound, and so was the tone of it, every line; deep and rich, awesome and mysterious all at once. “I Walk the Line” had a monumental presence and a certain type of majesty that was humbling. Even a simple line like “I find it very, very easy to be true” can take your measure. We can remember that and see how far we fall short of it." (READ MORE)

I take it you like country music or just Johnny Cash!!! I watched the movie of his life and then I understood why he always looked so depressed. By the way I am from TN the home of Country Music. Not a big fan of country music but I do like some of the artists.

Remember When Johnny Cash Recorded Kenny Rogers’ ‘The Gambler’?

"The Gambler" is one of Kenny Rogers' signature hits, and an all-time country music classic. But did you know that another country legend also recorded the song in a very different version? Johnny Cash actually released his own recording of "The Gambler" the same year that Rogers made it into a hit.

"Songwriter Don Schlitz was working the night shift as a computer operator at Vanderbilt University in 1976 when he wrote "The Gambler," according to Rolling Stone. He pitched the song around Nashville for several years before Bobby Bare became the first singer to cut it, but his version was unsuccessful." (READ MORE)
