@moproducer, thank you again! I remember "Have Gun - Will Travel" for sure (and Richard Boone, of course).
-
@feelytouchy67 Nick Adams (star of "The Rebel") recorded and released his own version of his TV theme before Cash released it on vinyl. Adams' version never was a hit.
Also, Johnny Western (Westerlind) was the writer and singer of "The Ballad of Palladin", which played over the closing credits of the Richard Boone series, "Have Gun - Will Travel".
Western MC'd shows for Cash in the 60s (he can be heard announcing on the Folsom Prison LP), and was Cash's pill-popping buddy.

@moproducer, thanks for that info! :) Cash was a great song-writer and singer, but I wondered a little about him writing either of those themes, figuring that if he had it would have been at least "more-commonly known" or whatever - than it is. But of course, it isn't, since he didn't author them, as you point out! Thanks again. I always like finding out more historical details!

@feelytouchy67 You're right, you had no idea be cause he didn't write it (at least, not the TV version). Jay Livingston and Ray Evans wrote it in 1959, with lyrics, although after the first TV season, it was heard only instrumentally.
Cash and Johnny Western co-wrote this set of lyrics in 1962, and the song was released on the Ring of Fire LP.
The theme to "The Rebel" was written by Richard Markowitz and Andrew Fenady. Cash performed it for the TV series and later recorded it.

@feelytouchy67 My mistake - Hugh Cherry was the MC on "Folsom Prison", not Johnny Western. But Western performed with Cash regularly from 1959 through 1966, and toured with him throughout the rest of Cash's career. He was a part of Cash's last touring show in 1997.
Western (who is still active in retirement) appeared on "Have Gun" in several episodes. He wrote The Ballad of Palladin in appreciation to Boone for giving him the roles, and Boone decided to use it as a closing theme.
