Johnny Cash - I ve Been Everywhere Lyrics.John R. American II: Unchained by Johnny Cash on Apple Music. With both Hey Porter and Folsom Prison Blues achieving respectable chart positions they were a hot property on the concert circuit and were booked for dates across the southern states.What sort of condition was he in – I know he had an undiagnosed nervous disease then, and those operations on his jaw…IVE BEEN EVERYWHERE Chords - Johnny Cash E-Chords. Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Two spent the rest of 1955 on the road and in January 1956 they landed a regular spot on the Louisiana Hayride.
Bob Dylan (featuring Johnny Cash) Travelin’ Thru, 1967 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music artist, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and. Cash, was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.
I was saying, “Well, how do you deal with that?” He was on the road, and he called me from it. That was around that time. At one point I think he had his knee replaced, and he acted like that was nothing. And John had this incredible way of walking through extreme pain. 15: Hammers and NailsWell, his jaw was bothering him at the time.

He was still hitting the road really hard then.For Johnny Cash books and sheet music you can buy, check the Johnny Cash Collection at Sheetmusic Plus. It just depended on how he was that day. So with the sessions, we might work for an hour and then rest for half an hour, and then come back and work for a while longer. He would work for a while and then he would rest for a while, you know. He wasn’t as fragile as he would be some years later.
He was an interesting artist because he’s pictured as a country artist, but he wasn’t necessarily completely in that bag, you know. And I remember on that album we did several that John came up with himself on the day – “One Love”, and a real old, old song, and “Unchained”.It was incredible. If John didn’t want to do it he didn’t do it. Rick was laying a lot of songs down for his consideration, but John was the final call. I do know that he was definitely in on the songs that got recorded. CA To: guitarolga.net Subject: crd: rowboat by johnny cash ROWBOAT - originally by Beck - covered by Johnny Cash from his Unchained album INTRO: D A.Rick Rubin was choosing songs on that record that were deliberately a stretch for him to sing – how did you see that manifest itself at all?I don’t know if he was at his limit.
I mean he could trace folk music back to early Irish shanties or hymns or whatever you call ‘em. It was an unusual thing, his bag was pretty wide. And the country that he performed wasn’t really much like any other country that you’d heard. Because he knew so much about folk music.
And he would sit down in the back and tell us, “Oh, God, I don’t feel, I’m not very strong”, and I felt bad for him.What was it like watching him sing so close up?It was such a beautiful sound. But my wife and I were there. But when we were doing those tracks he was very up and in the room and into it all. I could tell he was more fragile definitely than he had been. But his health was a little more delicate, I thought.
I think about those sessions, and they were just some of the best times I ever had in the studio. When we were cutting in the studio I kind of had to watch him, because he was singing live.It was great fun. But he just came across the mic like that. And it didn’t matter – I’ve seen people sit in the control room and really try and make a singer sound good.
And he seemed very pleased with it. Tom why don’t you play it, it just needs kind of a churchy intro.” I’m standing there going, , “Oh, okay…” and I just played some chords. I remember on this song “The Drunkard’s Plea”, was that a Louvin Brothers song? I didn’t know it, and we started to play it, and John said, “Ah, we need a Hammond organ on this. I might wind up playing the organ, and the bass quite a bit. You weren’t even nailed down to your particular instrument. Everyone was so at ease but really into the project at the same time, and really, really enjoying playing.
He used to come to some of the Heartbreakers sessions from time to time. He knew most all of us from just coming around. And we’d come in, and it would sound really glorious, when Rick would play it back.Was that openness in the sessions to do with Johnny?I think it was. We didn’t do a lot of takes of anything. It was that kind of thing where we were just really enjoying it.
Rick’d say, “Let’s play Mike on acoustic, and Tom you’d play guitar.” Made no sense at all, you know, but it kept things fresh. It was very spontaneous, we’d keep moving around. And usually by three or four takes, we’d have something they liked. He’d already done his time with Johnny where they’d decided what songs they wanted to try, and they would play us a demo, we’d make a note or two, then we’d go to the studio and run it down. Rick was very good at – whatever he does, gotten everybody into the right place.
God, they had a good time, the charisma of the two of them was palpable. I remember particularly the few days that Carl Perkins came. And June alone is a feature film. June was there almost every day.
So much of it probably came pre-packaged, because I’d been a fan all my life. And he was a great listener. In any walk of life I think they would have been exceptional.There was such a sense of justice about him. Really exceptional people, that’s what I would say. They’d tell stories on each other.
But we met lots of pretty interesting people.I heard he used to go to Walmart a lot, just to mix with people…Yeah, I wouldn’t doubt it. “We thought we’d just sit out there and see if anybody recognised us.” “So how’d he it go?” He said, “Nobody said a word to us. I got there and he and June had been sitting at the bus-stop across the street from the studio. I remember one day he went out before the session.
They were that kind of people.The thing that interested me was seeing what would really light him up musically. And when we left, June was on the phone, and as each person left the house, she said goodbye to them. But as we were seated at the table, one of the people working there came and tapped me on the shoulder and said, “Could you come into the next room, John wants to talk to you on the phone.” So I did, he was saying, “Thanks for coming out, sorry I couldn’t be there”, it was very strange. The plan was we were going to have a Sunday lunch with John and June, and both of them it turned out were sick at the last minute and in the hospital.
I remember once being in the car, and Rick I think had come up with a bunch of Hank Williams bootlegs, at the time – live radio shows. And he would play us Gene Autry songs. He pointed that out to me more than once.
The tape-machine broke in the middle of a particularly hot moment in the studio. And we drove around for quite a while just playing that record.I remember one thing that I thought was kind of spiritual. He could sing every song that started.
That that would be their instinct if something was broken, “We’ll sing a hymn.”He had spent a great deal of time with Rick. I always thought that was pretty interesting. And I swear within minutes the machine worked. Not a procedure I had seen before! And John said, “Yeah, let’s sing a hymn.” And June said, “Yeah, but we’ve gotta all hold hands”, so we did. And she said, “I think if we all sing a hymn, maybe God’ll fix the tape-machine.
But I really don’t think any of it was forced on him. Rick started moving him towards more and more contemporary music. And he had come up with most of the songs himself. So every time they came to record, I remember when they came to record American Recordings, they’d drop around and play some of that in the evenings, because we were in different studios at the same time.
And John came out and said the guy had told him that he’d met Jesus in a previous life. One time Rick brought a fortune-teller, a psychic, into the studio, and we all took turns going in to see him. Where to get a good pair of boots.
He once sent me a note on my fiftieth birthday that said: “You’re a good man to ride the river with.” I took that as high praise. And to be his friend was amazing.Well he would send me gifts from time to time, or really nice letters. But he really was a fascinating person, who had really lived a rich life, and who I felt lucky just to be around. It’s easy to say, I guess, when someone’s been a big, iconic celebrity and they’re gone.
