awesome! I love you johnny! you are my life time hero! you have since I first heard your music. Me and my dad are great fans of you. Is that asctually Luther though?
Was it that Marty's bass somehow mysteriously went out of tune OR just the fact that he is one of the best guitar and mandolin players in the world HOWEVER, the worst bass player JRC ever had????
Johnny does it perfect, everytime. He was a gift from god and he knew it. GOD BLESS YOU JOHNNY <3 I love you and your music, your music has really helped me true a lot. Thank you Johnny for everything you have done !
I was fortunate enough to have met Mr. Cash on several occassions as he was friends with a family member. Mr. Cash was nothing but a caring, down-to-earth and very pleasant Christian man who not only used his fame to help noble causes but went out of his way to do little things to help people in need. It really wasn't Luther or Marshall the Carters or even June who ultimately cleaned Johnny up, it was his personal relationship with Jesus Christ that got him straightened out.
I love god as much as the next atheist, but to be honest, his belief in going to a place of etrnal suffering if he didn't straigten himself out did that..
Marty Stuart said it perfectly when he said "A Johnny Cash record without Luther on it was only HALF a Cash record." Sam Phillips also said in '85 that had it was Luther's sound that REALLY captured his interest in recording the trio and that no other picker could have complimented Cash's voice as perfectly as Luther's. Cash always credited his original guitarist as being THE reason for his success.
By the way, Marty's bass if way out of tune by the end of this clip!
Listening to how badly Marty Stuart ends this song (he didn;t start off that bad) you might be right! But as Cash said many years later (as did Marshall) "It didn't take us long to figure out that Luther was really something special."
With no disrespect to Marty, who is a gifted musician: He was nothing compared to Marshall Grant. It was most horrible when Luther passed away, but when Johnny fired Marshall, he killed his sound. Without the pills, he'd never have done that, I'm sure.
I agree, he was the one who helped shape Johnny's sound originally, together with the late great Luther Perkins. And he probably was instrumental in saving Johnny's life a time or two, together with June and a couple of other people. And yes, he held everything together. I just happen to think that Johnny was such a great artist that he would have been famous even without Marshal Grant, and I dare say, even without Luther Perkins!
Awesome version! Wow! Can't help noticing that Marty Stuart is playing the upright bass. So Marshal was fired by then! Didn't affect the sound that much, though ...
Do you really think so? Well, I basically want to listen to and watch the Man himself. I've read Marshal's book, and it appears he was the man who held everything together, in a lot of ways. Obviously, Cash didn't treat him fairly at all when he sacked him in 1981. But musically he remained "only" the bass player. I don't think he was such a phenomenal bass player that Cash couldn't have done without him. And the way he belittles Cash' success with American Recordings - smacks of bitterness.
I agree, Marshall was harsh towards Cash in his book, but he started the sound in 1955 and when the 80s hit, it just wasn't the same. I do like his 80s material, I believe they are totally underrated, but no body can replace Marshall.
OK, I agree partly. Marty Stuart is not really a bassist, everybody knows that. But Joe Allen, for instance, was one heck of bass player. The point is, I guess, which stage of Cash's career you prefer more: the original Tennessee two/three sound was brilliant, but it was only one phase in his huge career. The man was too big to fit only one category of music.
Be my guest. I'm not saying I am the keeper of the ultimate truth here. I'm not an expert on bass players. Yeah, Dave Roe was great on that upright bass. You've posted a lot of very interesting videos on YouTube, by the way, and I thank you for that!
I don't believe there was a big difference between Johnny's bass players (much less if you look how much Luther's dead and Bob's ways of playing changed the sound). But as it was said, I believe Marshall was, as also many books like Johnny's autobiography or "Making of a Masterpiece, At Folsom Prison" proove, a vital part of the band that kept the group together and led Johnny out of the drugs.
Well maybe it is right that bass players can vary without notice, but Marshall was THE J.C.-bassist.

Aw, come on, be realistic! Are the five dvds recorded for American also only a quarter Cash records?
uglymoon78 2 years ago
Well in my opinion it is not a Cash record without the boom chicka boom sound that Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant had.

Joe Allen was the best bass player after Marshall, Dave Roe didn't do to bad either. Lets, just agree to disagree.
