So very beautiful. I softly sang "Spider and I" to my baby son who went through 3 open-heart surgeries in the first two years of his life. After each operation, sang that song to him all the weeks he was in intensive care, when I was allowed in to visit him. Brian has words and music to fit the spectrum of human mood and emotion. I think the one I find most romantic and, quite frankly, I could listen to it over and over forever, is "Everything Merges with the Night". Such haunting beauty.
I love this man Brian Eno. since a concert at Southsea Pier in 1972. I also love all you people who have provided all this Eno. I am stunned. in 1987, I was kicked unconscious by a mad guy in Fort William Scotland. When I awoke in hospital,the doc says "Who's Brian Eno?. I said a musician,why do you ask? I spent 6 hours telling the doc about Eno Albums. Think it maybe would be 24 hours telling him,if it was today. I had no recollection of this. Thank you Brian from stopping my brain from going elsewhere to a place I may not have returned from. xxx
Eno started out as a painter. His music is exactly like a musical painting. Brilliant man. I LOVE Eno... His music is central to my being for 30+ years............. My children were born to his music and my wife passed listening.
“Ring of Fire” has been covered many times and in many ways since Johnny Cash released it in 1963. But for all its recognition as one of his signature songs, Cash’s “Ring of Fire” is itself a cover - or another interpretation, in any case, of a tune originally written by Cash’s wife June Carter and songwriter Merle Kilgore for June’s sister, Anita Carter. Though it made nothing like the mark Cash’s recording did, the original “Ring of Fire” has its appreciators, a group that may well include Brian Eno. Or at least one feels an affinity between Anita Carter’s take on the song and Eno’s own, the latter of which you can listen to above. ~ Unlikely enough to begin with, in an artistic sense, the recording’s availability on the internet has saved it from near-complete obscurity. “In 1990, Brian Eno and John Cale made a wonderful experimental pop/art rock record called Wrong Way Up, released by Warner Bros. Records,” writes Boing Boing’s David Pescovitz. “At the time, the label would send out 7″ records to alt.rock/college radio stations to promote their new releases. The promo series, called Soil Samples, featured different artists on each side of the record performing songs that weren’t included on their new albums.” Cale’s contribution to the sample was an instrumental called “Shuffle Down to Woodbridge,” and the flip side of this translucent-vinyl rarity featured “Merry Christmas” by the two-man Americana group House of Freaks. ~ As the legend goes - for every story connected with Johnny Cash becomes a legend - the idea for how to do “Ring of Fire” came to the Man in Black in a dream. The “Mexican horns” that had risen up from his subconscious “sound like they’ve stumbled in from somewhere else on the radio dial and are trying desperately not to fall over Cash’s standard shave-and-a-haircut clomping beat,” writes The Atlantic‘s Noah Berlatsky. “Cash, for his part, turns in one of the most awkward vocals of his career.” And yet “all those elements knocking against each other,” he continues “fit the song’s lyrics perfectly.” Eno’s flowing, languid, Mexican-horn-free recording may sound more like the original “Ring of Fire” than any other cover, but it also befits its artist, the man who popularized ambient music. Neither Cash nor Eno sing like men especially subject to “wild desire,” but what song isn’t enriched by a bit of counterpoint ??? ~~
What ambient means? 1 : an encompassing atmosphere : environment. 2 : music intended to serve as an unobtrusive accompaniment to other activities (as in a public place) and characterized especially by quiet and repetitive instrumental melodies.
As I’m hearing this I imagine Johnny Cash as a young boy whistling and walking down an old road in Dyess Ark. after school daydreaming of a girl thinking about his next move. I’ll bet Johnny would have liked Eno’s version. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

For all that are asking, it was a limited 7" release from 1990 :) www.discogs.com/Brian-Eno-John-Cale-House-Of-Freaks-Ring-Of-Fire-Shuffle-Down-To-Woodbridge-Merry-Christmas/release/1440793
Thanks. Good photo. Funny to see Eno and John Cale 7" w/House of Freaks on the B side. Saw House of Freaks live. I'll feel a little prouder when I wear their T Shirt now. Seen n drove Cale to his show, 2x. Met Eno and he was really nice. Cool as you think he'd be. Didn't get to see him play though. It was an exhibition of "77 mil pictures n lecture. Appreciate this post.
Thanks Izbro.. Great find. I have the Eno Discography & its not in that. I had 65 versions of 'Ring of Fire' and this make 66!! Not the weirdest by far but very nice and laid back. Didn't know he could whistle either. One of the only instruments we a born with
Nonsense Greg - we have loads of organs !!!!... HA HA. And Brian does a stirling job on this - I, like you, was unaware of its existence... Look after your many Fiery Rings...
Danny, this version was released in 1990 on Eno/John Cale/House of Freaks single. Eno covered this song, Cale his own song "Shuffle Down to Woodbridge" and House of Freaks sings Joe Luke's "Merry Christmas".
NO you can't. "Why?" you may ask, but don't because the past has already passed and so has the gas you would need for a DeLoorian time travelin' drivin' machine to convey you to such a temporal destination. Capice ?
Too bad they didn't give this one the full studio treatment. The demo sound of this is cool, but, given how well You Don't Miss Your Water turned out-- one of my all time Eno faves-- Ring of Fire could have been something really special. Well, at least we have this.
Some cover versions are so incongruous that in hindsight they appear obvious. Husker Du doing 'Love is All Around' (Mary Tyler Moore Show theme) and/or 'Eight Miles High.' Talking Heads with 'Take Me To The River.' Aztek Camera with "Jump"(loaded.)
This is fabulous. Eno’s music is normally impossible to play live but even I could do this one. Like fuck. He do should loads of covers like this and make some real money.
You want to hear a really not country version of this listen to the versions on Sun Secrets by Eric Burdon Band &/or the version on LOVE IS by Eric Burdon & The Animals..both psychedelic masterpieces of Ring Of Fire 1
IF this was Brian Eno... he would be singing... But it's not his voice, so why do we suppose this undocumented, never known, hitherto unseen rather straightforward cover is our feathered friend?
Perhaps only Eno could make me pause and think well maybe someone could cover this and be near as good as the original Cash take. And not as good but damn close and likely closer then most could come with a slight different take and still capture some of Cash's haunting soul full take.
They actually did music for porno films very early in their career kind of as a side hustle, so the chances are good that the producer paid the band fair and square. Beats getting a day job, I guess.

They used to say "Clapton is God".Myself, I prefer the " Eno is God" version. it's stuff like this that makes me say this.
Jesus
A NON musician
And you just can't make this sh*t up, you know?
thats truly amazing
Eno started out as a painter. His music is exactly like a musical painting. Brilliant man. I LOVE Eno... His music is central to my being for 30+ years............. My children were born to his music and my wife passed listening.
Brian Eno paints the most beautiful songs, doesn't he?
I love the restraint in the way he treats this passionate song.
One of the most random finds ever. Thanks for sharing
Amazing version from amazing people. Ένα ιερό τραγούδι που δε σταματά να μας εκπλήσσει όσες φορές και να το ακούσουμε. salute from Greece.
Eno is a genius and a great talent!
I like the depth of his voice and the composition draws me in. To the ring of purifying fire.
Eno's rendition with harmony and whistling adds to a dream like reminiscing state.

He's beautiful, handsome, sexy and above all a creative genius. Some people have it all! Cool video

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns, the…
This sounds so much better to me at double the speed - at the same pitch. Go to the SETTINGS gear on the lower right of the video and hit SPEED 2.
+RevSpike Very cool ! Thanks for the tip.
+RevSpike - Sounds great-- very cool!
+RevSpike - Actually, i tried all the speeds, and liked it best at 1.25x. Still slow, which i like about it, but not quite as slooow as the original.
+kdkseven Yes 1.25 is the one.
That's the original (Cash) speed. The speed's the trick
This is a great cover 😜👍🏻
For all that are asking, it was a limited 7" release from 1990 :)

Eno and Cash... you can't go wrong.
Amazing,
Супер. Благодарю.
Love it soso....
hehe, hadn't heard of this cover. great!
hermosa versión!
Great vid, tx!
Masterful.
this Is a great Johnny Cash cover...brian Eno Is Amazing...;)
And the.. God knows how many years later.. "The River"
On speed 2 it even has a country lilt! Great stuff on both speeds. Eno does some backward tracks as well with Cluster.
love it very much
Danny, this version was released in 1990 on Eno/John Cale/House of Freaks single. Eno covered this song, Cale his own song "Shuffle Down to Woodbridge" and House of Freaks sings Joe Luke's "Merry Christmas".
Thank you. I immediately thought this sounded like Cale Eno
sempre il migliore
Floated in here and caught this
Marvellous....I thougt Eno would mess about with this....but this is a fairly straight version...
This song very good
If you have the vinyl, and a turntable that does both 33 and 45 rpm, try playing this at 45 rpm. Surprise!!
Love the laid back feel on this one. Am not sure where this comes from is all undocumented. Great find nonetheless, thanks for sharing
very wicked!!!!!!
Is this a left over from The Wrong Way Up album? It sounds like The River
Can I go to this concert?!
NO you can't. "Why?" you may ask, but don't because the past has already passed and so has the gas you would need for a DeLoorian time travelin' drivin' machine to convey you to such a temporal destination. Capice ?
1:58 he looks startlingly like Joni Mitchell. Eno was always a genius.
Sembra Vasco Rossi
Commander Nelson love the Captain Scarlet avatar!
Too bad they didn't give this one the full studio treatment. The demo sound of this is cool, but, given how well You Don't Miss Your Water turned out-- one of my all time Eno faves-- Ring of Fire could have been something really special. Well, at least we have this.
if you don`t like early Eno......you don`t like mother nature. think about it)))
Good olde eno
(makes me want to fall in love)
makes me dislike your comment just because it makes me feel the same
"Excellent version"!! I would consider this the best by another musician. Just like The Stranglers doing their version of "Walk on By".
stranglers "walk on by" really kills, doesn't it?
I love Eno but this is nothing compared to Wall of Voodoo.
th-cam.com/video/DCZMOndmcQY/w-d-xo.html
Walk on bye is a masterpiece
I've never heard this, or heard of this, either.
Crazy find. Where did you find this?
Anyone know who is on guitar?
really good !! not easy to compare to Johnny but this is really really good !!
what's the recording date on this one?
I've got a huge crush on you, Eno
Arte plus ultra
im inside of this song rn
Play at double speed...........he sounds a bit like Bryan Ferry.........the plot thickens....................
Carsick Mick it's Jon cale, wish it was Bryan though ahah
Yes, I know it's John Cale, I had read an article about sampling and was messing about with another Roxy/Eno enthusiast regarding this track! Cheers!
💜
wheres this from?!
Dope
I like his take on this ,like he was just sitting around with just a guitar with no other reason than to just sing a song...
Some cover versions are so incongruous that in hindsight they appear obvious. Husker Du doing 'Love is All Around' (Mary Tyler Moore Show theme) and/or 'Eight Miles High.' Talking Heads with 'Take Me To The River.' Aztek Camera with "Jump"(loaded.)
His cover of 'Fever' is good too.
as good and talented as a musician, Brian Eno is equally a decent human being as he supports justice for Palestine and BDS.
This is fabulous. Eno’s music is normally impossible to play live but even I could do this one. Like fuck. He do should loads of covers like this and make some real money.
real funny thing!
Lucky 🍀 to hear this and not worthy to keep hearing it
You want to hear a really not country version of this listen to the versions on Sun Secrets by Eric Burdon Band &/or the version on LOVE IS by Eric Burdon & The Animals..both psychedelic masterpieces of Ring Of Fire 1
This song sounds like its being covered by David Byrne ?
Listen in 1,5 speed
i love eno, he's my favorite artist. having said that, the wall of voodoo version is much better than this.
I know you're just stating your opinion, but you're wrong, that version ain't better than this.
cool, but i disagree
I don't know, but I don't think he should have been aware of some American band, where there was a concert at when I was 3!
Where's mah Eno ticket?
June Carter wrote this
IF this was Brian Eno... he would be singing... But it's not his voice, so why do we suppose this undocumented, never known, hitherto unseen rather straightforward cover is our feathered friend?
Damn wasnt paying attention to youtube I thought this was like Syd Barrett or something.
Perhaps only Eno could make me pause and think well maybe someone could cover this and be near as good as the original Cash take. And not as good but damn close and likely closer then most could come with a slight different take and still capture some of Cash's haunting soul full take.
There's a great Wall of Voodoo cover of this tune.
The first time I ever heard it some porn producer had stolen it for a phucky-sucky movie.
Ok, so WHICH porn movie???
They actually did music for porno films very early in their career kind of as a side hustle, so the chances are good that the producer paid the band fair and square. Beats getting a day job, I guess.
who knew?
How does he do it? It's even dumber and slower than the original version!
That's Eno? Doesn't sound anything like him.
+David Graham Scott it's not, its johnny cash
+ge it's a Johnny Cash song but it doesn't sound like him either.
I guess that's bc it's slowed down
Legendary has it that he had some apple juice before singing to get the tone down just peachy.
Yup....sounds more like him. Thanks
