Jimi Hendrix and Johnny got inducted into the R&R HOF the same year. I believe Roseanne Cash said she had a psychedelic experience when she saw her father playing along to "Purple Haze".
What Artist's are in the Country Music Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams Sr, Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Everly Brothers, Bill Monroe Bob Wills, Floyd Cramer and Sam Phillips.
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!
Ice-T used to cite Folsom Prison Blues when people would complain his lyrics were too violent. He didn't think he wrote anything quite as callous as "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die."
I watched an interview he did, said he wrote Folsom Prison Blues while he was still in the Air Force. He said he was trying to think “What is the worst thing a guy can do to go to prison”, and came up with the line “Shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die”.
And this wasn't even Johnny Cash's most callously violent song. "Cocaine Blues" has a man get high and murder his girlfriend, and "A Boy Named Sue" has a pretty gruesome fist fight between a father and son that nearly ends in gunplay.
Ice-T was telling his story, he ain't lying "Where cops come and get your cat out the tree, but I come from south central LA and unfortunately... S...t aint like that!
My 21 year old son is a huge fan of Johnny. I've played Johnny Cash music for many years. The greatest compliment was when my son said he wished he was around when Johnny was in his prime.
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.
He had great empathy for those who were imprisoned. He wrote the song as an outreach and when he fought all odds to perform in a prison, believe me....they gave a roar....then got quiet. He had a way of making one feel understood.
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.
Since you like some country, have you ever listened to one of the only black country stars to make it big? Mr. Charley Pride is a beautiful voice, beautiful man, & one of the kindest men in Country Music. Please give a listen to Kiss an Angel Good Mornin or any of his other hits. You will like him, too.
@@robertbebee4484 I love it! I started singing when I was 9. Lived in the country, no kids to play with, so I taught myself to play guitar. I recorded about 9 45's. 😂🤣 I found 2 someone posted here on TH-cam! Look up Barbara Richardson When You Love A Man & Barbara Richardson Rough Around the Edges. The last one is autobiography of my life put to music. 🤣😂
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. 💙🎶
Played this in a pool hall on a box that had mostly rap and real hip hop. Apparently everyone was listening for the first time and after the "just to watch him die" line the place went nuts.
Actually it was written by Johnny Cash and Merle Kilgore. Johnny Cash gave his share of the songwriting credit to June because she was struggling financially at the time and just let people believe she wrote it. This was revealed in his first wife's book titled I Walked the Line
@@magic8ball1982 If you read "I Walked The Line" by his first wife, Vivian, you also know that according to her, the "ring of fire" is in reference to her vagina. Wish I hadn't read her book, because now when I hear the song all I can see is her vagina. Thanks a lot Vivian! 😂
Oooh wow. That take on his voice having authority is spot on. That's such a good take. That's it. His voice is great, tonally, low notes, unique, etc. But it has a command.... you hear it and you immediately drop wtf you are doing and listen. Thank you for saying that...nailed.
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.
"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
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.
2 years on, y'all probably know already, but his early style was considered Rockabilly music. A combination of country, blues, and gospel. It eventually divides into other genres such as surf rock, western swing, outlaw country and rock and roll.
Stumbled across you guys last night, watched your videos until I fell asleep and started again with my cup of coffee this am. You are such a joy to watch and I am impressed as how open you are to different genres. Thank you for the smiles and exuberance in a world so torn at the moment. P.S. love Mama too!
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!
I forgot all about the beautiful female backup vocals in ring of fire. Like what Tasha did with the 'tallica shirt. You guys have become my favorite reaction channel.
I love old country music. Especially the man in black Johnny Cash. He used to have a variety show that I watched weekly with my parents and grandparents. The 70s had many variety shows. I consider myself to be very lucky when all these icons were alive and went to see them concerts.
I admire your talent at reaction videos and I also like the positive vibes both of you bring. Its also a beautiful thing to watch a husband and wife team bring their talents to the table for a lot of folks to enjoy. So, great job reacting. As far as JC is concerned..........well, what do you say about an ICON like that. He was the real deal. Did not live an easy life.
Everytime this song came on the radio, when in Folsom prison was insane. Everyone in the whole building of over 1,000 people, would sing along. Fun fact; everyday you can hear the train go by. It's more than just another song.
I did a couple years in Folsom prison and Johnny is everywhere in that prison, pictures and paintings everywhere. That prison is crazy. You can't hear the train anymore but you can still see the tracks from the yard
Been a Johnny Cash fan all my life. 63 now. His brother, Tommy Cash is also an accomplished performer. Check out "Six White Horses", my favorite Tommy Cash song. It is a song with a message, the names in the song are key to understanding the message.
Live 20 minutes from Folsom Prison. There's a whole Trail dedicated to Johnny over here. Dude was and IS a LEGEND. Grew up on his music and was really emotional once he passed knowing that he had accepted all his faults and was at ease with himself after doing " Hurt " RIP to the Man in Black
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
As a youth in the 60's, Johnny Cash was not particularly 'cool'.....one for my parents and elders. I'm now enjoying his songs with a fresh view...thanks to you both.
@@visionemu2458 Johnny Cash was a part of the rockabilly sound of the mid 50s along with Elvis, Carl Perkins, and others. He was more blues and country, but did have a rockabilly sound ... at least early in his career. And some of his early songs were considered rockabilly, although they also were country cross-overs as well.
When he walked on stage, he didn't need an introduction. He just walked out there and said " Hi. I'm Johnny Cash." And people claimed that the testosterone level in the place went up by 500%.
Johnny Cash! One of my favorites, even though you know I'm a metal head LOL. I have bad stage fright when playing live. Sounds silly, but I wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt , and I get through it much easier. Excellent songs to react to. The song Man in Black is very relevant to our immediate day issues I think you reacted to A Boy Named Sue?. And yes, he is listed as Outlaw country. You should watch the movie Walk the Line. It's an old movie but I myself only watched it a couple weeks ago. His life story. Reese Witherspoon is in it. Sorry for the long comment, but also check out God will strike you down. The video consists of the people that were at his funeral. And it's a very powerful song
@@EgonTheGreat. It is so nerve-wracking! And then you beat yourself up after because you know you didn't perform well because you were so Nervous! Thanks for the tip though brother!
Ring of Fire, I once stopped my car on the side of the road when this came on my cd, rewound it to the beginning took my wife's hand and sang along while looking into he eyes with my son in his chair and his 15yr old sister just looking at us from the back seat. Needless to say to this day we now consider this our song and when it plays out now 5yr old shouts at us too sing it together.
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.
Glad your listening to THE MAN, listen guys I am a Canadian and i often wonder why none of your politicians ever used his song "That Ragged Old Flag" on their campaign trail,believe me Every One in your country is so patriotic this song would ring true to you all. Like I said I'm a Canadian and I love it for gods sake.
Yep remember listening to this with both my grand dads sitting around the table…them just telling old stories…with this in the background…very surreal…they’re both gone now, ok, throats tightening up, lol…..great reaction!
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.
Maryann Anderson The one on the right is on the left! Haven't thought of that song in years. Couldn't be more relevant today. Somebody should do a modern cover of it.
Thank you so so so much for not stopping / pausing, this is the first reaction video that hasn't frustrated me, while I sing along with the songs I have known by heart for around 40 year's or more. Wishing you all the best from 🇦🇺🦘 & be safe from Covid..👍👍

He's in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
As well he should be. 😎👍
AND Gospel!
Yes sir, he's also in gospel hall of fame to.
Jimi Hendrix and Johnny got inducted into the R&R HOF the same year. I believe Roseanne Cash said she had a psychedelic experience when she saw her father playing along to "Purple Haze".
What Artist's are in the Country Music Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams Sr, Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Everly Brothers, Bill Monroe Bob Wills, Floyd Cramer and Sam Phillips.
There's actual footage of his performance live at the prison. Now THAT was a fantastic performance.
I was disappointed they didn't pick that one
@@ohmareshah yeah me to
yes he did a live version at San Quinton prison very good you have to watch
Cash performed at Folsom state prison
Loll where he's taunting the guard 🤣😂
You must react to Johnny Cash song Man in Black.He explains why he dresses in black.Great song!
Yes!
Yes! You need to watch the video though that he filmed at Vanderbilt University.
Country is really just a blend of folk, blues, and bluegrass. Rock is blues and country combined with electric instruments.
I'm not sure I have heard anyone brake that down better!
I would add that Country music includes folk, blues, Bluegrass, Western, Cajun, Tejano and Californian sounds and, perhaps, more.
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.

You should definitely do a reaction video to "The Man In Black"
th-cam.com/video/ouvLmeiUVSo/w-d-xo.html
Not only in Prison, he wore black to identify with the poor and downtrodden of the Human Race.
I love that song
He had great empathy for those who were imprisoned. He wrote the song as an outreach and when he fought all odds to perform in a prison, believe me....they gave a roar....then got quiet. He had a way of making one feel understood.
You two are making Johnny smile!! And when Johnny smiles, all the clouds leave the sky.
Amen to that 🙏

His cadence and deep voice will never be replicated.
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!!!

Ring of Fire was written by his future wife describing her feelings for him while she was married to another man.

He was still with his first wife. Watch the walk the line movie its his life.
Oooh wow. That take on his voice having authority is spot on. That's such a good take. That's it. His voice is great, tonally, low notes, unique, etc. But it has a command.... you hear it and you immediately drop wtf you are doing and listen. Thank you for saying that...nailed.
A favorite of mine by Cash is, "Sunday Morning Coming Down," it was written by Kris Kristofferson. It... just makes ya feel.
One of my favorites too
I’ve been listening to Johnny Cash for almost fifty years and never yet gotten tired of him.
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.✌🏾
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 music has always went beyond one genre! Which is why so many people love him.
Need to watch the live version of "Jackson", he and June Carter Cash.
Johnny: I love the way you talk.
June: I'm talkin' with ma' mouth.
Oh my. These are my 2 favorite Johnny Cash songs. The man's a legend.
You two are so cute together. I love seeing couples who are affectionate with one another and enjoy each other's presence. 😁

Johnny Cash is in a class by himself. I hope that somehow he knows how much people are still appreciating his music.
A request for Delia, The Ballad Of Ira Hayes and One Piece At A Time. Peace!!!

Tascha got it right!!! They infused a mariachi feel to it
Johnny had a TV variety show, lots of clips from it on TH-cam. He performed with all his guests. A great way to step back into the 60s and 70s..
I forgot all about the beautiful female backup vocals in ring of fire.
Like what Tasha did with the 'tallica shirt.
You guys have become my favorite reaction channel.
The live performance of this in prison is amazing
Johnny Cash is like listening to a short story that you should have read! Post modern story telling and there is no other
You are dead spot on describing Johnny Cash. thank you...
Love these reactions/listen to, especially when y'all were feeling Ring Of Fire!
Great group of Johnny Cash tunes! Ty!
Check out the Highway Men. Johnny Waylon Willie and Chris
Johnny and his wife June had several duets. Jackson. If I was a carpenter
I love old country music. Especially the man in black Johnny Cash. He used to have a variety show that I watched weekly with my parents and grandparents. The 70s had many variety shows. I consider myself to be very lucky when all these icons were alive and went to see them concerts.

Or "one piece at a time"
I've been everywhere man. Check that one out
I've been everywhere man. Check that one out

I love busking this song. I practically always start my "show" with it. Even if people don't know the song, most of folks always look amused.
Enjoyed your reaction you should do “Man in Black” the video reaction it’s pretty inspirational
Johnny Cash is in Rock HOF, Country HOF AND Gospel HOF. He released 96 albums in 48 years. Incredicle.
As a youth in the 60's, Johnny Cash was not particularly 'cool'.....one for my parents and elders. I'm now enjoying his songs with a fresh view...thanks to you both.
I love that you love him too he goes straight to our head and hearts and it burns burns
It was called Rockabilly music.
Johnny Cash never made ONE rockabilly song, he made moody blues and intense blues and country
@@visionemu2458 Johnny Cash was a part of the rockabilly sound of the mid 50s along with Elvis, Carl Perkins, and others. He was more blues and country, but did have a rockabilly sound ... at least early in his career. And some of his early songs were considered rockabilly, although they also were country cross-overs as well.
@@visionemu2458 this is rockabilly u fool
When he walked on stage, he didn't need an introduction. He just walked out there and said " Hi. I'm Johnny Cash." And people claimed that the testosterone level in the place went up by 500%.
I like tasha's hair.
You two are precious. Love from a 59 year old. Anglo Italian geeza from London. Peace ✌️
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.
man you guys always have awesome reactions, thank you
Johnny Cash! One of my favorites, even though you know I'm a metal head LOL. I have bad stage fright when playing live. Sounds silly, but I wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt , and I get through it much easier. Excellent songs to react to. The song Man in Black is very relevant to our immediate day issues I think you reacted to A Boy Named Sue?. And yes, he is listed as Outlaw country. You should watch the movie Walk the Line. It's an old movie but I myself only watched it a couple weeks ago. His life story. Reese Witherspoon is in it. Sorry for the long comment, but also check out God will strike you down. The video consists of the people that were at his funeral. And it's a very powerful song
My trick when i still played was to wear a hat and pull it down over my eyes XD
@@EgonTheGreat. It is so nerve-wracking! And then you beat yourself up after because you know you didn't perform well because you were so Nervous! Thanks for the tip though brother!
The idea for the trumpets came to Johnny in a dream. First country song to ever have them.
I'm pretty sure Cash is considered "Country".
@Grayson Pitman Country first, then other genres. But always country first.
Actually, I think he was pretty instrumental in the current rock genre as well. He's touched so many people.
He was part of Outlaw Country with Waylon, Merle, Willie
A lot of his early stuff was on the rock charts first, though you are far more likely to hear those songs on the Classic Country station today.
@Grayson Pitman Blues, yes. Rockabilly, no way.
Ring of Fire, I once stopped my car on the side of the road when this came on my cd, rewound it to the beginning took my wife's hand and sang along while looking into he eyes with my son in his chair and his 15yr old sister just looking at us from the back seat. Needless to say to this day we now consider this our song and when it plays out now 5yr old shouts at us too sing it together.
You need to check out Tom T. Hall. A remarkable storyteller. He wrote a lot of songs so there's a lot to chose from.
Faster Horses is awesome, and for a laugh I like "I'm pretty good at drinking beer".
@@frndofbear You mean "I Like Beer". Yes its a fun one.
I grew up on Johnny Cash on old country music so to see people appreciating what kind of music but I grew up Listening to I am very thankful for that
June made that song for johnny Cash RIP legends
I may be wrong
June wrote ring of fire .
Ring of fire is such a great song and never gets old.
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.
I'm so happy y'all discovered cold, hard Cash. How can you NOT be engaged by his voice!? 🎤🏆
He got some flak for using trumpets in a country song. Try When the Man Comes Around . I think it was the last song Johnny Cash wrote.
Two Great Johnny Cash songs , Classic. Ring of Fire and Folsom Prison Blues !!
You should react to Mama Tried by Merle Haggard. He actually did some time in prison.
omg I forgot about that song I'm going to listen to it after this
Excellent! So glad I discovered you guys. Just wonderful commentary.
Jonny has a song for every mood. He’s so good and so is June .
Glad your listening to THE MAN, listen guys I am a Canadian and i often wonder why none of your politicians ever used his song "That Ragged Old Flag" on their campaign trail,believe me Every One in your country is so patriotic this song would ring true to you all. Like I said I'm a Canadian and I love it for gods sake.
Yep remember listening to this with both my grand dads sitting around the table…them just telling old stories…with this in the background…very surreal…they’re both gone now, ok, throats tightening up, lol…..great reaction!
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.
Maryann Anderson The one on the right is on the left! Haven't thought of that song in years. Couldn't be more relevant today. Somebody should do a modern cover of it.
I love that Tasha's instinct is to sing along with the background singers. Also, I have that Captain America t-shirt, too.
Tasha gives the best reactions and cap is the best!
Thank you so so so much for not stopping / pausing, this is the first reaction video that hasn't frustrated me, while I sing along with the songs I have known by heart for around 40 year's or more.
Wishing you all the best from 🇦🇺🦘 & be safe from Covid..👍👍
Love your hair Tasha!
‘Sunday morning coming down ‘ is his best song and my personal favorite. ‘Give my love to Rose’ is my second favorite of Cash’s music
I have followed his music since I discovered him in 1965...I was 3!
Thank you!!! Johnny Cash is in my baby book as favorite singer!!!! Country rythm and blues:)
Johnny's early songs where so great because everyone sings along...😀
Johnny was his own genre.
