      Johnny cash never liked politicians, his whole style is being the voice of the working man, it would be a bit contradictory to have him singing out for Washington.

    Come-to-think-of-it... wouldn't there be some authentic recordings of these songs starting in the mid-to-late 1890s with Edison Cylinders and later( pre-FDR) 10" 78s?
