Johnny Cash - Tennessee Flattop Box

[Stergas15]

I hear that

[Zebco96]

WHY WAS I BORN IN 1996!?!??!?!

I missed the generation of good music.

[brokenportal]

The more philosophical the soul the more haunting the death it seems. I can feel the time that he wrote this, it connects you somehow. One of the first songs that he was ever known by, the spirit of a budding career expressed here. Snuffed out like it was deer bowled down on the interstate by a semi. Nature treated him like he didnt matter in that same sort of way.

[Yanxfan49]

Oh, the memories this brings back . I was fortunate enough to see him sing this in person so many years ago.

[gyrgrls]

On a scale of one to ten, give this man an eleven.

That goes Rodney, Rosanne, June, and Carlene, as well.

[TheCrazySasquatch]

Makes me think of the old days when music was music

[leonel1234455]

My brother and his friend would get together with their guitars and sing and play this. I was a child... and would dance. My brother is long gone now, but I remember him with this song.

[97bansheeboy]

i just love that guitar in the background

[onebaud]

It is amazing how much an Icon like Johnny Cash can affect your life. I remember when I was 16 in 1956, listening to Johnny sing Folsom Prison Blues. The argument with two friends was, who was better Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley or Hank Snow. At the time I picked Hank Snow because I had listened to him for years. Don't laugh before you put his name in your you tube browser.

But Johnny was better than Elvis, or Hank in a lifetime of listening.

[bubbles12345678962]

This was the first song i learned to play on my guitar.

[TheDkbiker]

@bubbles12345678962 that's the reason i just searched this song, I picked my guitar up for the first time in 6 years. i played this song. it's insane how a simple song can engrave memories like that.

[HermanHermes]

johnny cash had a goat?

[ffairlane57]

Actually an interesting story is that back in the 1950's, when he travelled with Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, he would take a live chicken with him and keep it in a drawer in the hotel room dresser.

[kendo12]

[mdbrowncd]

It charted in late 1961 so he recorded it a little earlier than that

Is that Luther Perkins on guitar?
