Norman Blake on The Johnny Cash Show

Norman Blake sat in with the Tennessee Three for most episodes of the show, but never stood up and rarely received any acclaim. That was rectified on the Nov. 25, 1970 Thanksgiving Show. Featured are "Folsom Prison Blues" and a standard whose name I'm only guessing at, "Mama Don't 'Low," that features Blake in solos on multiple instruments. I like Blake's work when he's singing even better. If you're unfamiliar with him, I can't recommend highly enough that you go check him out on the iTunes, or wherever you download your music from

NORMAN IS THE MAN

@mr135013 Sorry for the late reply to your comment. No, not Sara (she was extraordinary in many ways but she`s not in this clip). I`m referring to the late, great Mother Maybelle Carter.

Is any one cooler then Johnny? Is any one better then Blake? 2 of my favorites and one of the best videos I have ever seen.

I didn't know Norman played the banjo. In addition to all the instruments, he can really sing too!
