@etool782 Check out Lonnie Donegans' version. It's not on Youtube. But it's cracking! (this is not an arguement. I love Cash).

If you're a musician and you didn't get inspired by Johnny... I'm sorry you just wasted your life !!!!

Love how the snare drum makes it sound like theres a train running through the concert.

@postbanes The King Period :)

@CajonDS Indeed so the whole engine crew, and the clerks in the crushed cars were cooked after they died, thus the "scalded to death by the steam" conclusion of some of those in the rescue and recovery operation on 27-28 September 1903.

This is how those who didn't witness the wreck would envision it. Those who tried to extricate the dead from the train, Southern #1102 on her side beneath four crushed cars and one intact car, alongside Stillhouse Trestle on 27 September 1903, had some bodies come apart in their hands, thus the "scalded to death by the steam" conclusion in the lyrics.

I dont know about everyone else, but country at that time wasnt the same sound as his. He had his own voice and style. I dont even think you could consider it rockabilly. johnny Cash was and IS Johnny Cash. no better way to put it.
