Johnny Cash and Burl Ives (medley)

From the April 22, 1970 edition of "The Johnny Cash Show," Burl Ives and Johnny sing and play a medley of Civil War-era ballads, including "Oh Mary Don't You Weep" and an insanely infectious little ditty called "Goober's Peas". I had to cut a short bit near the beginning to keep the clip to under 10 minutes; that's the clumsy edit at about the 2:20 mark — my fault, not the producers of "The Johnny Cash Show".

Great music!! What a shame singers nowadays don't produce stuff like this, instead of the shouting and screaming that we get.

Burl Ives is like the grandfather we all wished we had singing to us when we we seven or eight years old. That soothing voice is just wonderful.

@OldReaver Most of what you call GREAT modern music if written down, isn't suitable to wipe the backsides of the old "real great artists" , you know, the ones with a real voice, the ones who love and loved singing purely for the joy it brought millions of people not for the millions it brings them. Most, but not all modern music is purely for commerce!

My grandfather went to college with Burl Ives, I don't think my grandpa knew him personally, but you know, mutually. I heard that Burl also worked for WBOW radio.

OldReaver your first mistake is making the statement "modern music", modern music is a furphy

it's generated by fuckwits in studios why do you think live concerts are mimed. Your second mistake is breathing.
