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
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
Oh no, he was very much of his time. Very unique but quite the embodiment of the 60's country scene. This song especially ... Travis picking, storytelling, hard message
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 never knew that either! I've had all of his books, totally delightful, with 'The Giving Tree' being the one to bring a tear. What a soul that man had.
@@Stormbrise Johnny was 'god' in my house. My father revered him, and looked a striking amount like him. I think many of us got our love for JC from our fathers..
Yes he is. He’s a fucking badass. The record company he was working fought him on it but he said he wanted to play a concert for his people and make an album out of it.
I know BB King recorded an album at a Cook County Jail in 71 and Jerry Garcia played an acoustic set at Oregon State Prison in 82. Both worth looking for.
Ooo that's a good one. Or Kenny Rodgers and the new edition "ruby dont take your love to town". Great guitar picking plus a story about the aftermath of war for one poor soldier.
A great story telling song is The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Your channel will never be complete without a reaction to that classic by Charlie Daniels Band
Thanks for sharing that. I really like Shel Silverstein and I never knew Johnny's song was based on his poem. I learn so much music history from those who comment on the Twins channel, which is addition to the smiles they bring, is an added bonus.☺
@@kathyp1563 not all are clean - he wrote poetry for a playboy magazine before he became a children’s author. I have his not so child friendly ABC book.
Johnny always wanted to give the forgotten folks joy. That's why I, as a metal and hip hop fan, still have him in my top 10 favorite artists of all time. He didn't just play major venues, he went to the prisons and gave those inmates a couple hours of joy.
Love me some Johnny Cash, I always loved the fact that he would perform for those less fortunate. He could tell a story and entertain like no other country singer.
I grew up listening to Johnny Cash, me and my sister used to laugh in the back seat to this song. We had the censored version and sob was bleeped out XD
Awesome song, have you listened to his song Ring of Fire? It really shows off his voice. Another funny song is One Piece at a Time. Also, the song Jackson he sings with his wife June.
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.
A good story song (and it is based on real event) is The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. Another story song based on a real event) is Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
That song still chokes me up every time I hear it! And it's so good I can't bear to take it off my playlist! 100% most amazing ballad I can think of that is still amazing to this day.
Johnny Cash is 💯 the GOAT 🐐 I grew up listening to him with my Daddy. He had a Reel to Reel and I believe every song JC ever made (before my Daddy died) was on that old Reel to Reel. My son is 23 and he's just as much a fan as my Daddy & I ever were. Legends never die!! ❤️
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**!🎙🎼🕶
Remember boys that he was at San Quintin penitentiary when he did that song did you notice the president is saying that he gave many concerts at the presents for the prisoners love Johnny Cash he had a sense of humor and he wasn’t afraid and nobody came up the hard way he and I was passable very very close and very good friends your gap girl Liz the queen
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.
One of the best! There’s not a song this man put out that I don’t love. Thank you twins for sharing your reaction! You two are the only ones who truly react. Others put on the crying act, etc. God bless you both.
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.
This is why so many artists, even in hip hop, love Johnny Cash. He transcends genres. I dont even like country...but I love Johnny Cash .
Same!!
Ditto
Totally 👍
That's no lie. Johnny Cash still has universal appeal
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
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 had never heard this. Amazing!
@Chris Perry prove it
@Tara Ritz I heard him say this on PBS when they were featuring Country Music. Music is indeed a healer.
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
Knoxville reacted to hurt he has an excellent way of breaking down mainly bars but just about any song. He's also a rapper
Johnny Cash was so far ahead of his time, yet such a badass even in his later years. ❤️
His cover of HURT by Nine Inch Nails is a masterpiece.
Cash was the real deal. Certified, card carrying tough guy.
Don't forget this was filmed in San Quentin prison
Oh no, he was very much of his time. Very unique but quite the embodiment of the 60's country scene. This song especially ... Travis picking, storytelling, hard message
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

I never knew Shel Silverstein wrote this song...nor that he was friends with Cash. Very cool. Thanks.👍✌
I never knew that either! I've had all of his books, totally delightful, with 'The Giving Tree' being the one to bring a tear. What a soul that man had.
@@Stormbrise Johnny was 'god' in my house. My father revered him, and looked a striking amount like him. I think many of us got our love for JC from our fathers..
Shel wrote 'The Giving Tree' and other children's books and many of Dr.Hooks songs . .
He could spin a tale. My parents used to play this album when I was a kid. How cool is he recording at San Quentin prison?
Yes he is. He’s a fucking badass. The record company he was working fought him on it but he said he wanted to play a concert for his people and make an album out of it.
VERY cool!!!
1969?
Written by Shel Silverstein, apparently.
How Metallica got the idea.
I know BB King recorded an album at a Cook County Jail in 71 and Jerry Garcia played an acoustic set at Oregon State Prison in 82. Both worth looking for.
Yes this from the famous San Quentin prison..... Performed for the inmates!
The man in black,, love this extraordinary! Next try Jackson by him and his wife June.
An all time favourite of mine!!!
Yes! Jackson is a great song! It’s hotter than a pepper sprout. 😂
I’ll never tire of that song ⭐️
Guys, your laughter is freakin' catchy, laughed along with you. ✊✊ Such a cute joyful reaction. 🤡🤡 #TwinsInTheBuilding
So right! I laugh off of other people’s laugh so I was rolling on the floor!
Good one Twins! For another classic story song: Kenny Rogers - The Gambler
Ooo that's a good one. Or Kenny Rodgers and the new edition "ruby dont take your love to town". Great guitar picking plus a story about the aftermath of war for one poor soldier.
Yessss
The shots of the inmates at San Quentin is awesome! That was and still is unheard of playing at a penitentiary!
The only other performer that did a live album was B.B. King live at Cook County Jail. An incredible piece of music.
@@davebeach2343 is there a video for it?? Id have to check that out if so! BB King is literally a KING of rock / blues!
@@steveaustin5399 I've never seen any video, just heard the album. If there's video it would be incredibly cool.
He’s singing this to guys in prison. Trying to show them a different perspective.
These twins loved this song. Nice to see them laughing like this
The Twins are natural born entertainers 💯
My boys are 9 and 5 and they love this song. We gotta raise our babies on these gems. What a awesome song. Legendary man.
'One piece at a time' by johnny cash is hilarious
@mark Whelan, good call! Had forgotten about that one one. 😁
I was looking to see if anyone mentioned that...great one! I still love "I've Been Everywhere", and of course, Sue!
True! That is a great song.😊
A great story telling song is The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Your channel will never be complete without a reaction to that classic by Charlie Daniels Band
Johnny Cash , LEGEND ♥️
You guys should read the book from Shel Silverstein “Where the Sidewalk Ends” for a un cursing version of this poem. He was the lyricist for the song.
Shel Silverstein has a few good books of poetry. They're all bazaar, clean, & goofy...which I like.
Thanks for sharing that. I really like Shel Silverstein and I never knew Johnny's song was based on his poem. I learn so much music history from those who comment on the Twins channel, which is addition to the smiles they bring, is an added bonus.☺
@@kathyp1563 not all are clean - he wrote poetry for a playboy magazine before he became a children’s author. I have his not so child friendly ABC book.
Isn't he great? Love your laughter...thanks for this BANGER..❤
"The Man in Black" and "Folsom Prison Blues" should be on your Johnny Cash playlist.
Hurt
Johnny always wanted to give the forgotten folks joy. That's why I, as a metal and hip hop fan, still have him in my top 10 favorite artists of all time. He didn't just play major venues, he went to the prisons and gave those inmates a couple hours of joy.

Lmao!! Y'all are too funny! Thx for the chuckle! 🤣

LOVE Johnny Cash ❤
LOVE Johnny Cash! This song ALWAYS cracks me up!!!
Awesome song, have you listened to his song Ring of Fire? It really shows off his voice. Another funny song is One Piece at a Time. Also, the song Jackson he sings with his wife June.
Ring of Fire is awesome!
Love all those, especially Jackson! June had a beautiful voice... "and I'll be dancing on a pony keg!"
His wife -- June Carter -- wrote "Ring of Fire."
These are just the three songs I want them to listen, too. Good thinking!
I knew you two would love this one.
I love when you say “ Peace one love” 💕💗💕💗💕💗💕
You two guys crack me up.....Such a breath of fresh air watching your video's.
My father loved this guy. Thanks for the memories!
I feel like I’m sitting there with these guys . They always lift my spirits I know where to go when I’m down .
Such a well written reply. It's true. #TwinsRule
Love your reaction to this classic.
I adore your reactions. So pure and sweet

I love Johnny and you two are to cute the way you react to songs, get you a Johnny Cash cd you'll love all the songs ✌💕
Now you MUST listen to "Ode To Billie Joe" by Bobby Gentry!!!
Dont know if you noticed, but he is singing to an audience of prisioners, who were currently in San Quentin prison. Hey nephews
Glad you liked it! The first live performance I ever saw recorded in a prison.
One of the best story tellers ever. Live at Folsom Prison is a great album. Ty for doing this song.
Love this song, love Johnny Cash. Thank you fellas!
🤩Love Johnny Cash!😆😂 Twins you have me rolling!!🤣🤣👍

"Folsom Prison Blues"

I forgot how funny this song is-thanks for the reminder with your infectious laughter!
Great Reactions, Thanks. 👍👍👍😊😊👌✌
You should check out "Uneasy Rider" by Charlie Daniels.
The 1973 version is the Original and (to me) Funniest Version.
Excellent reaction video

Omg guys I love this song!! Thank you for the reaction 💞
I just love watching you two react. Enjoy your well-deserved success. 👍
I love how ya'll do every kind of music.

Another good story song is Charlie Daniels " Uneasy Rider"
Also The Devil Down in Georgia
Man, don't compare Charlie Daniels to Johnny Cash. That's an abomination...
@@Tony-dk9sx uh... i didnt. Do you know what a story song is?
Super fun reaction! Thanks for choosing Johnny!
A good story song (and it is based on real event) is The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot.

That song still chokes me up every time I hear it! And it's so good I can't bear to take it off my playlist! 100% most amazing ballad I can think of that is still amazing to this day.
Coward of the county by Kenny Rogers is a great story telling song.
Oh yeah! Such a powerfully great song!
Since you love story telling songs you need to listen to Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band❤️
YESSSS!!
I've been asking them to do that for a long time, they'd love it!
@@kathleenmartin7498 me too! I have asked on almost every video I have watched. Maybe this will get their attention😂
I’ve been asking for the Devil Went Down to Georgia for a while. It’s imperative that you react to that one!
Ohhh! Good one! I gotta find my CD 💿 and pop that baby in to listen! Thanks for the reminder!!!😉
If you like this, you're gonna love "The Streak" by Ray Stevens. Or really anything by Ray Stevens.
Yes!!! Mississippi Squirrel Revival!!!
Guitar Man 😂😂😂
Also listen to the Statler Brothers, Flowers on the Wall
Ray Stevens is classic!
Just two words: Blue Cyclone.. lol
Great reaction! Fun song.
This is the first time I have ever heard this song so you just showed me something new.
I just love hearing you two laugh.
It is so nice to see young men enjoying songs from 52 years ago. Ya'll are great!!!
I love watching your reactions, they are so refreshing!
Legends. Both you guys & Johnny Cash. I love that you appreciate artists from all genre’s & and from all decades. It’s brilliant.
Johnny was great!
You guys are fun to watch! This one could be as big as IN THE AIR TONIGHT! Love y’all!
Watching Johnny smile or laugh at times throughout the song...
You two are adorable! I have loved that song my whole life. Watching you enjoy it made me smile!😊
So great to watch you both enjoy an amazing singer that some of us grew up with. Lol.
Johnny Cash is a legend and he was loved by all musicians.

Johnny was The Man. This was a huge hit summer of 1969. #2 in the USA and a #1 record here in Canada. 🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦
You should react to Johnny Cash “Ring or Fire”!
You guys rock!!😁
Please listen to Cash’s The Ballad of Ira Hayes. Another story song, but with a message.
This is the absolute best reaction to this song that I’ve seen… You made my day
Love your reaction can relate when I first heard. Again, thanks mom for raising children in NYC and never putting boundaries on music!
Johnny Cash is 💯 the GOAT 🐐 I grew up listening to him with my Daddy. He had a Reel to Reel and I believe every song JC ever made (before my Daddy died) was on that old Reel to Reel. My son is 23 and he's just as much a fan as my Daddy & I ever were. Legends never die!! ❤️
