  • @HoleHeadedLiar Several years later, Johnny loses a guitarist, and the only one available is Waylon. So, on the very first night, the plan is to suprise people with Waylon on stage, well, as soon as they get to this song, Waylon, out of habit, launches into this, the band gets all flustered, and it takes Johnny a minute to realize what's just happened.

    Cash: "GODDAMMIT WAYLON! MY ARRANGEMENT! NOT YOURS!"

    Waylon: "Whoops! Shit."

    Cash: to audience "Uh, by the way folks, this is Waylon Jennings."

  • Phone rings, Cash answers it:

    Waylon: "Hey! Johnny! How you been?"

    Cash: "Cain't complain. Just got word that some damned fool at RCA wants someone to cover Folsom."

    Waylon: "I know the damned fool personally. I'm the poor sumbitch who's getting it shoved down his throat."

    Cash: "Well, I'll sign off on it, Waylon. But be a damned smartass, would ya? Make 'em regret it."

    Waylon: "I fully intend to. They won't let me do what I want or play my own damn guitar. How's about something really bluesy?"

  • What an elegant and cool version. Fantastic!

  • Yeah my favorite cover of this song!

  • yeehaw! this is the good stuff
