[mastrochef]

I'll stay up all night watching this video, and I'm gonna sit right here until I die!

[notbendable]

Bad ass

[rowdytexan81]

classic cash and legendary rockabilly

[j1215hurd]

I can't stop watching this!

[j1215hurd]

One word. SWAGGER!!!!!! This is the coolest freakin' Johnny Cash song ever!

[jrgorilla1]

Johnny Cash...I met John in '55, and knew him 'till the day he died. What a man.

[meynard1]

@TheSnipermalta It´´s true.

[painpopping]

mum use to play johnny cash when i was in her womb and now 16 years later i cant get enough so yep i been listening to cash for 16 yrs

[lisa186572003]

best man in music!!! Even my 7 year old knows this.

[maartensummer]

I just can't get it out of my head!!! :D

[joaquinbond007]

the hairs on my arm stand up everytime!

[MrSenneboy]

This is real music

[lfctwentytwo]

johnny cash-gone but never forgotten..what a hero.

[ptpike1]

I taught the weeping willow how to cry, showed the clouds how to cover up a clear, blue sky... MAN! What a GREAT lyric! Love this song!

[Streamliner009]

Sadly, you can't hear these rythms on the radio anymore..

[johnnycashfan91]

Johnny Cash and the Tennessee three: solid like a train, sharp like a razor!

[stu1685mzm]

he waz a legend!

[Charity621]

pretty cool!



[wcbbernie]

been listening to this song for over 50 years. sounds as good now as it did then love that BIG RIVER. L.O.L.

[gustrapos]

otro pedo este mister!!!!!

[Juicefani11]

Quite funny, that normally when Luther plays this click-clack thingie, his guitar doesn't sound so loud and "sharp".

[joshuastar850]

how is this video only 1:37 long? it should be never-ending.

[Streamliner009]

compared to this, today's country is pure rubbish

[brian4858]

Such a wicked piece of film....! My fav clip of johnny. Rip johnny c.

[exkirkby]

one of the best songs ever written

[regios4ever]

His voice reminds me of summers spent at my grandparents ranch =)

[RememberSoCal]

so cool

[ggcarere]

john john beloved john 

[JimmieLith]

THE BEST EVER!! HE'S HORSE

[Maquiladora83]

Unquestionably one of the greatest singles of all-time.

[jims1942]

Great song! I have this song on a 45 rpm SUN Label record that I bought back in the '50's. Can't think off hand what is on the flip side... (but I don't have a 45 rpm record player anymore! :-( )

[Adebrunetta]

great voice

[zenspiral89]

Speeeeeeeeed!

[elasticsociety]

The best video ever!

[lofasztaseggedbe]

Tomorrow night i read 100 pages of his biography book written by him and now im a happy person . i love hisa music life thinkings etc everything . RIP J.R.

[RdtheLiterature]

I love how he holds the guitar like it's a gun

[125sigbn]

now we're talkin' yeee haaaa!!!!

[MyPurpleButterfly64]

my favorite old song of all time....

[johnnycashfan91]

The best version on Youtube, great voice and great rhytm with the Tennesee three. The typical click clack sound Luthers Jazzmaster is providing is awesome!

[jimmcom]

@johnnycashfan91 agreed

[johnnycashfan91]

@johnnycashfan91 (correction) Luther is playing a Jaguar instead of a Jazzmaster wich i mentioned in my last reaction. You know what, this vid. still gets better, even when you listen to it a million times!

[paulmccartney7ElvisP]

Love it ♥ x

[DanielBee91]

0:45 "Suey !" xD :D

[DanielBee91]

and the Tenessee Three also start smiling. xD :D

[DanielBee91]

LOL I Love the way he looks when he yells "Suey!" xD :D

[SIRKELAVSVART]

@DanielBee91

I laughed upon watching.

:)

[ogalala]

Like Chris Christopherson said of this song, "the lyrics are pure poetry.

[gamster68]

[hillbillyboy77]

On what CD can I find it?

[darush012]

almost any I have 5 different johnny cash cd's all of which have big river

[hillbillyboy77]

That's fine. I've got a lot of Johnny's traks on different CDs (for instance 2 Bear Family's boxes, I find them perfect I would like to recommend them) but I don't know where I can meet THIS live version. '58 Big River recorded at SUN I have of course))

[colinlaw91]

johnny cash is like my 2nd favourite artist of all time and i only heard of him like a few months ago he is absoulutley amazing live. i havent seen him cause he is dead but his live albums rule

[jkuebler89]

follow your soul mate homer. jonny did the voice of the dog on the simpsons when homers trippin in the desert of of the chili pepper.

[IlSuddenDeathIl]

it's not a dog, it's a fox..

[vickie0562]

STYLE! STYLE! STYLE

[procket1]

The master! Check out Fleet Foxes, great newer folk, country flavor but in same spirit I believe.

[squirrelnutcased]

unlike any other artist of his time =]

[bluebanshee3]

his music is so addictive. love the voice and the slow "boom-boomy" guitar.

[PalvoChekov]

I like this version better than some of the studio sets he did.

[hillbillyboy77]

the version is pretty nice especially splashin' guitar

[Robie84]

is there a song which is similar to this one?

[dragonfitter]

think you mean "get rythme " the song about the shoe shine boy

[joshuacreamer]

Yea, just check out some old country and other Johnny Cash songs!

[Christiannck]

'So doggone lonesome' is also quit similar to this one. Love them both haha

[jacoff1973]

Another great song! We love you from OHIO, R.I.P. Johnny.

[TheSunRecords]

One of the best YouTube videos.Maybe Johnnys best song.And he had many great songs.

[CheerUpTheEmoKid]

Didn't Johnny Cash have a record deal with you guys?

[alanyoung2]

John did have a record deal between 55 and 57 or 58 rigtht?

[Carters01]

Between Late 1954 and July, 1958, Cash recorded several sessions at Memphis Sun Studios.

[shakemeshakeme]

what doc or show or whatever is this from?

[thenash19]

... and I´m gonna hear this song until I die...

[everhard1000]

everhard1000

thank you man in black

[dws21]

Luther Perkins loves his damn Reverb but awesome song

[elmoreII]

Awesome Johnny Cash song. One of his best. Hear Bob Dylan do it live in 1999. I'd hate to choose between these two versions.

[666Levay]

very good cash song! Great artist....maybe one of the best of all times..LONG LIVE JOHNNY!!

[marconeuk1]

That was gr8, thanx.

[billclorraineg]

Still hasn't gotten old. This is the 32nd time I've listened to it all the way through.

[PalvoChekov]

I know, it's just hard. I'm toelrnat of other countries. Hasta luego mi amigo!

[PalvoChekov]

What's wit hthe German's postings things we can;t understand? what if I started speaking spanish? I can, andmight if they don't stop doing thiso n other videos too.

[Carters01]

You Tube serves all countries; not just English speaking countries. Please try to be gracious.

[PalvoChekov]

I know, i'm tolernat of other languages. Hasta luego mi amigo!

[viletantrum]

Preach on brother!

[PalvoChekov]

It's called Rockabilly. He and his band invented it. my grandfather has the orginal live record when he was still young.

[fuj1a]

This was the first song I ever heard Johnny Cash perform. It blew me away. Rock, Country, Blues, WHATEVER you want to call it, it moves like a locomotive. Have you considered his initials ! JC! Loved this mans' music, grew up with it, what more can I say ! ! !

[bluemoonphantom]

The One and only OUTLAW...Often imitated!!!...but never duplicated!!

R.I.P.

[thenash19]

he´s gone boy he´s gone...

unique!

[jacoff1973]

Another great song, I have all his music. Too bad he wont be making any new ones. R.I.P. Johnny I love you!

[viletantrum]

I've found I have so many favorite Johnny Cash songs that I just love them all. I can't pick my favorite child and I'm not gonna begin to pick my favorite johnny cash song. Gotta Love J.C.

[loggy1232]

he is saying its a good song

[holtzaustin]

this is most perfect blend of blues, rockabilly and country the world has ever seen. johnny cash wasent just a legend, he was something more than that. he is something so hard to explain, intill you hear a song like this. his songs had so much craftsmanship into them, he poured his heart into into every song. johnny cash will never be forgoten. people will just like him more. this is the best song by johnny cash and my faveroit song in the world. r.i.p johnny cash, you were the best.

[eliin17]

bäst!

[gossepie1]

i am 15 and i am from dutch, I only want to hear songs of johnny cash it the truth en this is a great song!

[stefnoc]

[Rikka023]

[Christiannck]

mee eens

[tuktukskagal]

Johnny's music is timeless.What a man!

[Johi2410]

Man, the reverbed guitar just clicketyclacks through the song like a train in the night. If you see what I mean ;-)

Luther & Johnny, RIP

[inuyashajr]

wow the 80s must of have realy been uber epic

[lacuna88]

80's? :D haah man, l2history

[MrSabre11]

the 80's... when TV's were black and white and pre electronic music... good times.. LMAO

[GBG1233]

Badass video.

[morten75]

sooo eee!

[goin240]

Does anyone have the original recording of this song? It had bloopers in it. It was really a cool song. If anyone does have please send me a message! Thanks

[c4shFan]

word!

[twandanny]

It's to bad you don't hear this kind of music on mtv or some other channel, this is the music that will never die !R.I.P JC

[Wilkins777]

Without a doubt!

Nowadays it is all pointless superficial plastic music.

[peacearoundtheroom]

ya i know all these rappers and pop country kids are all fake this is real music R.I.P Mr.Cash

[dmellow45]

i love a twangy southern drawl that a girl might have...

[rancherodave]

Love that twangy noise of Luther's playing

[promagnum]

I love Johnny.

[gibby6117]

Johnny Cash rest in peace we all love you.

[1navyfly]

John was wild at times... and laid back other times. One of the chilling things to hear was John pick up the guitar and sing a little of that cold hard cash sound right at you and say "well... how was that"!

[tuktukskagal]

I think Johnny was fighting his addictions during this period;but;boy;could he let rip.He really puts depth into this.

Bless The Man In Black.

[holtzaustin]

ring that rockibilly!! this is my faverit johnny cash song!

[fragellin]

me too its timeless to me

[gadgieschate]

this is pure rock and roll - a mean bad ass

[kissphantom05]

We are due another Cash for sure . . . the problem with that is that there will never be one!

[fragellin]

like the radio these days can good music

[JohnnyCashRocks101]

Johnny is the man!!!!!!!!!!!

[Anders1957]

what a fantastic Rockabilly sound !Thank you so much.

[marccelov]

Respect...

[jody808]

Johnny was the man!!

[Silonge2008]

Were due another Cash arent we?

[slownoman]

don't we wish! I'm afraid Johnny Cash, as a musician and as a man, is from a breed we won't see again soon, if ever. Certainly not in Nash Vegas, homogenized music capital of "country" music. Three things Johnny never was: flashy, bland, and boring, which is 95% of country music today- heck, all pop music in America. Deadly dull, predictable, corporate fodder.

[drtmcgirt]

respect

[panosgatto]

Resurrect Johnny! Please!

[ByrdWhiteMovie]

This is the best country style blues I've ever heard.

[claritoz]

this is bad ass

[c4shFan]

ikno all his songs n i can play em ^_^

[WhereEaglesDare22]

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

[RJN88420]

does he roll his eyes back when he hits those super low notes???

cuz if he does... officially johnny cash is the only man that ever mattered/matters

[1jtv]

Tompage1611, It's been said at Luther's funeral, Johnny stood over the casket and said "Thank You Luther for making it all possible...." and thank you Carters01 for posting this.
