When certain artists have Him cover their song...and the original shrugs and says "I didnt realize I wrote it for The Man in Black" he did something right
Johnny Cash was so far ahead of his time, yet such a badass even in his later years. ❤️

Yes this from the famous San Quentin prison..... Performed for the inmates!
Fun fact: Merle Haggard was 20, in San Quentin prison when Johnny performed, & that was what got him into country music when he got out

I just made a comment on a different reaction video by Knox Hill saying that the album he made in San Quentin was gold. I did not know this thank you for the fun fact
Delightful. Song was written by Johnny’s friend, the poet Shel Silverstein. This is first record I ever got, my dad drove me to the record store when it came out. I was not yet 5. I still have it even if Johnny and my dad have passed on. Thanks, guys Ps - meeting Cash and being hugged by him felt like being touched by the hand of God. Definitely a highlight in a life well lived,

My father who has also crossed over to the other side camp has also given me a love for Johnny Cash. I remember riding in a bus with him to Alaska with the 8-track in, and listening to Cash, Holly, Lynn, Jones among many others. This was one of his favorites to play, besides Pink Carnation

I like how the younger generation is checking out our music we listened to growing up. The 50s-70s had the greatest collection of music in the history of music. It was a great time for kids to grow up. Great music and cool cars set the tone. Unfortunately all that is lost now.
If you like storytelling songs, you have to HAVE TO listen to Bobbie Gentry's Ode to Billie Joe.

So great to watch you both enjoy an amazing singer that some of us grew up with. Lol.
I just love hearing you two laugh.
This is Johnny Cash's biggest country crossover hit ever!!! It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country chart back in 1969.
Johnny Cash touched so many lives. He was friends with Elvis all the way to Bono from U2. He was deeply close to the Lord. That's what all three of the men mentioned above had in common. Peace
Please listen to Cash’s The Ballad of Ira Hayes. Another story song, but with a message.
My mother-in-law named my hubby Christy because she thought Christopher would be too hard for him to learn to spell. His dad was a military man, so the family moved every two to three years. Everyone always called my hubby Chris, but at each new school the teacher would call him Christy on the first day. Guess what? He learned to fight because the kids made fun of him. He's always said that he was a Boy Named Sue.
You guys are fun to watch! This one could be as big as IN THE AIR TONIGHT! Love y’all!
Legends. Both you guys & Johnny Cash. I love that you appreciate artists from all genre’s & and from all decades. It’s brilliant.

I don't know if others have brought it up, but the best thing about this song is that he was in San Quetin singing among the prisoners. Treating people like human beings and showing them respect. It was an historic moment.

Johnny Cash , LEGEND ♥️
I was 3 in 1969. My parents played this album a lot during my childhood but I haven't heard it in decades until today. My husband and I got married in mid July, 28 years ago and we just returned from our anniversary trip to Gatlinburg Tennessee. For the first time in my life I heard the line "it was Gatlinburg in mid July". Funny how words written 50+ years ago can hit a familiar key at just the right time.
One of my favorites from this legend.
Gotta hear Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues song
Johnny Cash was my neighbor back in the 60’s in a small town here near Ojai California 👍🏽 One of a kind The house is still there and they filmed inside of it when they produced the Movie called Walk The Line about the life of Johnny Cash. He also owned a small mobile home park that was called Johnny Cash’s Trailer Court nearby.. He loved Jamaica and bought land there later on..
I am so glad you both listened to the story! That's what makes his songs so fantastic.
I love watching you guys.
Love your reaction can relate when I first heard. Again, thanks mom for raising children in NYC and never putting boundaries on music!
If you want storytelling, How about "Dr Hook"? Maybe "I got stoned and I missed it" or "Sylvia's Mother". Lots of 70's gold there.
Haven't seen you guy's for a while, great to see you again all the best from Australia boy's Johnny Cash legend.
This is the absolute best reaction to this song that I’ve seen… You made my day
Loved your reaction - could tell it was genuine
Back in the 70s I remember my mother playing his songs on 8 track tapes. I really wish I listened to the lyrics on this one. RIP Johnny, you were one bad a**!🎙🎼🕶

Shel Silverstein is the songwriter for this song. He's written for several artists, and has his own albums and poetry books/recordings. "The Unicorn", "One's on the Way" . I remember singing "Boa Constrictor" in school.
