I love Johnny Cash and especially Jack Elliot....But that shirt at the beginning...

Johnny, no man, no

[huettmr]

this is what you call singing..not today's music where they just scream into the mic.

@huettmr bullshit, bullshit and bullshit! I'm really sick of narrowminded people like you who can only rephrase one sentence " In the past everything was better".

You can't just judge today's music by what you hear on the radio. Today there are still musicians who actually put a lot of effort in making music, but you just won't always find them at the surface. Dig deeper.

Look up Scott H Biram. He does a blazin one man band version of this song. Guy who is now in his 30 somethings.... great country/blues player from Texas.

I thought that sounded like Mr. Earls banjo! I bet that's his Granada!

I love the relaxed pace of this version of "Muleskinner Blues." To my ear it's nicer than most bluegrass "hat band" covers. Faster is not better.

How bout that 35-second yodel he whistles out of his throat at 4:12.
