Bluegrass didn't exist until roughly around 1947, when Bill Monroe invented it. Bluegrass however, IS a direct descendant of Southern Appalachian music, which in turn directly descended from the Scots-Irish settlers, with major influence from English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh folk music from the British Isles. Basically if the fiddle leads, it is traditional Mountain music; if the banjo leads it is likely the more modern Bluegrass. The greatest group to use both forms of music is Flatt & Scruggs, and if you watch their old Grand Ole Opry performances from the 60's, you will catch the subtle difference between Mountain Music and Bluegrass music, because F&S played BOTH on their program!

Johnny wrote the song man in black with black representing all the downtrodden people in prison. A better version of Folsom Prison Blues is off his album " Folsom Prison Blues (Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA (1st Show) - January 1968) ". Many great tracks off that album

The reactions of the crowd always get to me on both of his prison albums (Folsom and San Quentin, for those who don't know)... Whatever they'd done that landed them in there, Johnny genuinely didn't care. He was there to brighten their day and lift their spirits. He treated them as humans and they loved him for it.

The style of this song is rockabilly. This has always been my favorite version. It was recorded at Sun studio in Memphis. It features Luther Perkins on lead guitar and Marshal Grant on stand up bass. There are no drums. Thaw percussion comes from the bass player slapping the low string against the bass and then the strings of the rhythm guitar being muted to give a percussive sound.

Johnny Cash got his inspiration for Folsom Prison Blues from a documentary he watched in the military called "Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison" He saw what the prisoners went through and got inspired to write a song about it. The line "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" came from Johnny thinking about the worst reason to ever be sent to prison and he wrote that line in. He never actually did time in prison for anything. He was however arrested for drug possession because throughout the 50s and 60s as his career soared, he got hooked up on drugs. But that stopped with the help of his wife, June Carter. Folsom Prison Blues is my favorite song ever and Johnny Cash will always be my favorite artist.

I'm 68 and I remember my grandmother telling me, "I want you to always be a good boy." That was something people of my grandmother's generation said to their boys. Johnny Cash's mother would have been of my grandmother's generation. He also got a handle on the psychology of a psychopath. That line about shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die is exactly the kind of thing many psychopaths did who wind up in prison. Impulsive acts for no reason that would make sense to a normal person. In spite of the guilt of the man and that he obviously should not be released on society, Johnny recognizes he is a human being, even if the man is incapable of living on the outside without posing a danger to society.

Johnny fits a unique genre right on the cusp of Country and Rock. He was a member of the Grand Ole Opry early on but toured heavily with the great Rock legends ...Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison. He's memorialized in both the Rock and Country Halls of Fame. And his driving chords have often been credited as heavily influencing the birth of Metal, believe it or not.

Johnny's style of music is considered Rockabilly. In the fall of 1955, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and Carl Perkins toured the South as part of what was known as Louisiana Hayride acts. He was arrested several times over course of his life but was never sentenced to prison. That being said he felt immense compassion for those who had made poor choices, as he himself had. As well as performing at prisons, always for free, Cash tirelessly campaigned for the rights of prisoners. Folsom Prison Blues earned Johnny Cash his first Top 10 country hit in 1956, giving his fledgling career and critical jump start. The perspective of this song shaped the trajectory of Cash’s life and birthed the concept of some of the best-selling live albums of all time. Johnny Cash remembers the forgotten men. He was at San Quentin where he recorded a live album on February 24, 1969, and released it on June 16 of that same year. The song Folsom Prison Blues was the last song on that album. On April 22, 1971, an infamous prisoner, Charles Manson, arrived at San Quentin!

As my mother used to say, "Johnny Cash is as country as corn bread!" He performed that live at Folsom Prison and when he came out with the line "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" the inmates went nuts! I have been a fan of Johnny Cash for about 50 years! Yep, I'm older than dirt. When I saw him perform "Hurt" it was very painful for me to watch because the lyrics were so sad and because he had lived some of those lyrics. After watching him perform "Hurt" I had to do something to get myself back in a better mood so I found his "Boy Named Sue". "A Boy Named Sue", "The one on the right is on the left" and "One Piece at a Time" are all great "happy" songs by JC and I would love to see your reaction to any of these more up-beat songs by Cash. I think two of the most beautiful songs by Johnny Cash are "Sunday Morning Coming Down" and "Here Comes That Rainbow Again" both of which were written by Kris Kristofferson.

A musical note for you: if anyone has ever wondered where that "Chicka-Chicka" sound in the rhythm track came from, it was not a drum. Back in the day, Sun Records was just getting on its feet and couldn't always afford to pay for a session drummer. Thus, what the guy on the rhythm guitar (in this case, it was Johnny) would do would fold up a piece of paper and weave it through the strings of the guitar above the fingers on the frets. That would provide the beat.

Rockabilly, early form of rock music originated by white performers in the American South, popular from the mid-1950s to 1960, with a revival in the late 1970s. Record reviewers coined the term rockabilly-literally, rock and roll played by hillbillies-to describe the intense, rhythm-driven musical style introduced by Elvis Presley on his first recordings.

Johnny Cash was one of four Sun Record artists known as the Million Dollar Quartet that also included Elvis Presley and another long lost great from the early days of Rock N Roll Carl Perkins. There is a story that before a performance on the Louisiana Hayride out in the gravel parking lot Johnny wrote a new song (I don't remember which one) with Elvis and Perkins looking over his shoulder. It was his first number one hit. With Elvis and Perkins looking over your shoulder it could only have turned out as a number one hit.

"Hurt" was a cover of the original artists, Nine Inch Nails. Johnny Cash sang at San Quentin Prison in 1968. You can bet those prisoners were on their feet, stomping, screaming and cheering so loud that prison officials were worried that maybe this concert was a huge mistake. Many of Cash's songs were "cross-over" hits, on both the country and rock charts. His wife, June Carter Cash, wrote "Ring of Fire" about their illicit love affair while they were married to others. They got divorced from those partners and married each other and were married for 50+ years, until she died in 2015. Johnny Cash was so bereft without her he died just five months later.

Bluegrass didn't exist until roughly around 1947, when Bill Monroe invented it. Bluegrass however, IS a direct descendant of Southern Appalachian music, which in turn directly descended from the Scots-Irish settlers, with major influence from English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh folk music from the British Isles. Basically if the fiddle leads, it is traditional Mountain music; if the banjo leads it is likely the more modern Bluegrass. The greatest group to use both forms of music is Flatt & Scruggs, and if you watch their old Grand Ole Opry performances from the 60's, you will catch the subtle difference between Mountain Music and Bluegrass music, because F&S played BOTH on their program!

Yew, good reaction video!
The style of this song is rockabilly. This has always been my favorite version. It was recorded at Sun studio in Memphis. It features Luther Perkins on lead guitar and Marshal Grant on stand up bass. There are no drums. Thaw percussion comes from the bass player slapping the low string against the bass and then the strings of the rhythm guitar being muted to give a percussive sound.
I love your videos! As someone born and raised in Nashville, Johnny Cash is an icon around here. The only thing I wish you said was that “Hurt” wasn’t written by Johnny. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails wrote it and Trent respected Johnny so much that he gave it to him to perform years later. Just wanted to say that. I’ll watch your reaction to that one next too. 😊 Much love to you guys and your fun attitude! I enjoy your videos a lot. 💙🎶

Man. This was my dad's jam back in the day. And now my kids grow up on this too. There is something about this soul Johnny cash music!!!
Johnny Cash got his inspiration for Folsom Prison Blues from a documentary he watched in the military called "Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison" He saw what the prisoners went through and got inspired to write a song about it. The line "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" came from Johnny thinking about the worst reason to ever be sent to prison and he wrote that line in. He never actually did time in prison for anything. He was however arrested for drug possession because throughout the 50s and 60s as his career soared, he got hooked up on drugs. But that stopped with the help of his wife, June Carter. Folsom Prison Blues is my favorite song ever and Johnny Cash will always be my favorite artist.
Love it guys. Jonny cash is one of those artists that doesn't have a genre. He has at least one tune everyone likes. Rip Jonny. Ledge.✌🏾

Good story telling is hard to find anymore. Not impossible, just hard.
I'm 68 and I remember my grandmother telling me, "I want you to always be a good boy." That was something people of my grandmother's generation said to their boys. Johnny Cash's mother would have been of my grandmother's generation. He also got a handle on the psychology of a psychopath. That line about shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die is exactly the kind of thing many psychopaths did who wind up in prison. Impulsive acts for no reason that would make sense to a normal person. In spite of the guilt of the man and that he obviously should not be released on society, Johnny recognizes he is a human being, even if the man is incapable of living on the outside without posing a danger to society.
You two are so cute together. I love seeing couples who are affectionate with one another and enjoy each other's presence. 😁
Johnny fits a unique genre right on the cusp of Country and Rock. He was a member of the Grand Ole Opry early on but toured heavily with the great Rock legends ...Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison. He's memorialized in both the Rock and Country Halls of Fame. And his driving chords have often been credited as heavily influencing the birth of Metal, believe it or not.
Need to watch the live version of "Jackson", he and June Carter Cash.

"If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had one time to sing one song. One song that people would remember before you're dirt. One song that would let God know how you felt about your time here on Earth. One song that would sum you up. " - Walk the Line film about Johnny Cash
My mum was a huge fan. I grew up listening to Johnny 💙✊
His cadence and deep voice will never be replicated.
"I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die..." The single greatest song lyric ever written.
Both of these are good karaoke songs. I enjoy karaoke, and I'm a baritone. Anything I sing is going to sound like a Johnny Cash cover anyway, so I mostly just sing Johnny Cash. Another note: Ring of Fire was written by his future wife, June Carter, about their relationship.
Johnny's style of music is considered Rockabilly. In the fall of 1955, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and Carl Perkins toured the South as part of what was known as Louisiana Hayride acts. He was arrested several times over course of his life but was never sentenced to prison. That being said he felt immense compassion for those who had made poor choices, as he himself had. As well as performing at prisons, always for free, Cash tirelessly campaigned for the rights of prisoners. Folsom Prison Blues earned Johnny Cash his first Top 10 country hit in 1956, giving his fledgling career and critical jump start. The perspective of this song shaped the trajectory of Cash’s life and birthed the concept of some of the best-selling live albums of all time. Johnny Cash remembers the forgotten men. He was at San Quentin where he recorded a live album on February 24, 1969, and released it on June 16 of that same year. The song Folsom Prison Blues was the last song on that album. On April 22, 1971, an infamous prisoner, Charles Manson, arrived at San Quentin!

As my mother used to say, "Johnny Cash is as country as corn bread!" He performed that live at Folsom Prison and when he came out with the line "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" the inmates went nuts! I have been a fan of Johnny Cash for about 50 years! Yep, I'm older than dirt. When I saw him perform "Hurt" it was very painful for me to watch because the lyrics were so sad and because he had lived some of those lyrics. After watching him perform "Hurt" I had to do something to get myself back in a better mood so I found his "Boy Named Sue". "A Boy Named Sue", "The one on the right is on the left" and "One Piece at a Time" are all great "happy" songs by JC and I would love to see your reaction to any of these more up-beat songs by Cash. I think two of the most beautiful songs by Johnny Cash are "Sunday Morning Coming Down" and "Here Comes That Rainbow Again" both of which were written by Kris Kristofferson.

Johnny Cash is like listening to a short story that you should have read! Post modern story telling and there is no other
He is the only singer to win the triple crown, ,,the country music hall of fame, the rock and roll hall of fame, and the gospel music hall of fame.
These songs are just iconic for country life in the past. His voice carries all the way from the past to the present.
Check out some of the songs from the American Recordings album he did, produced by Rick Rubin. Just Johnny singing and playing guitar. Great cuts are: - Delia's Gone - Drive On - Tennessee Stud
Johnny Cash said he had a dream about this song having trumpets in it, so he had trumpets put in it.
A musical note for you: if anyone has ever wondered where that "Chicka-Chicka" sound in the rhythm track came from, it was not a drum. Back in the day, Sun Records was just getting on its feet and couldn't always afford to pay for a session drummer. Thus, what the guy on the rhythm guitar (in this case, it was Johnny) would do would fold up a piece of paper and weave it through the strings of the guitar above the fingers on the frets. That would provide the beat.
Johnny had a TV variety show, lots of clips from it on KZread. He performed with all his guests. A great way to step back into the 60s and 70s..
You guys are great. I like how you don't stop the song half a dozen times to say something.

Rockabilly, early form of rock music originated by white performers in the American South, popular from the mid-1950s to 1960, with a revival in the late 1970s. Record reviewers coined the term rockabilly-literally, rock and roll played by hillbillies-to describe the intense, rhythm-driven musical style introduced by Elvis Presley on his first recordings.

There is a story that before a performance on the Louisiana Hayride out in the gravel parking lot Johnny wrote a new song (I don't remember which one) with Elvis and Perkins looking over his shoulder. It was his first number one hit. With Elvis and Perkins looking over your shoulder it could only have turned out as a number one hit.
"Hurt" was a cover of the original artists, Nine Inch Nails. Johnny Cash sang at San Quentin Prison in 1968. You can bet those prisoners were on their feet, stomping, screaming and cheering so loud that prison officials were worried that maybe this concert was a huge mistake. Many of Cash's songs were "cross-over" hits, on both the country and rock charts. His wife, June Carter Cash, wrote "Ring of Fire" about their illicit love affair while they were married to others. They got divorced from those partners and married each other and were married for 50+ years, until she died in 2015. Johnny Cash was so bereft without her he died just five months later.
Ring of fire is such a great song and never gets old.
Interesting Fact: Waylon Jennings was IN Folsom prison and was there when Johnny performed there! And Waylon has credited Johnny for saving his life... Its awesome

No he wasnt. Merel Haggard was in San Quentin State Prison and he heard Johnny Cash play there in 1958 and it changed his life.

That's a crock! Waylon never did jail time for anything. (You might be thinking of Merle Haggard.) Plus, Waylon credited his wife, Jessi Coulter, with saving his life. Read his book!
Excellent! So glad I discovered you guys. Just wonderful commentary.
man you guys always have awesome reactions, thank you
