Johnny Cash was the greatest country music artist of all time. (according to several Google searches and my personal opinion) I have been a huge Johnny Cash fan since I was a little kid. I grew up listening to Johnny Cash as did my parents. Instead of all that trash them kids listen to these days, I listened to Mr. Cash. He is known for his deep, powerful voice that is often compared to a freight train.
Some of Johns most famous songs are: Ring of Fire, Man in Black, Folsom Prison Blues, and Walk the Line. My favorite Cash songs besides those are: Gods Gonna Cut You Down, Hurt, and A Boy Named Sue. I cannot stress enough how amazing Johnny Cash is and how much you need to go listen to some of his songs. Ill probably put some links at the bottom to make it easier for you to go see his greatness for yourself.
Johnny was born February 26, 1932 and he died September 12, 2003. Cash has been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Country Music Hall of Fame, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Three Halls of Fames, that’s pretty intense. There is also a movie about Mr. Cash, its called Walk The Line. I’ve seen it a bunch of times and its great. There was also a movie made that kinda makes fun of it, called Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. I’m not sure if that’s the exact title but its something like that. Walk Hard has John C. Riley in it and its really funny!
All through his life Johnny Cash battled drug addiction. Many of his songs are about that but there not like the songs today about drugs. His drug songs are more somber and sad and everything, Johnny didn’t think he was a gangster because he did drugs, like artists today do. That’s another thing about songs these days! There all about drugs and sex and how cool you are if you participate in those activities.
Johnny Cash and Chuck Norris are walking towards each other on the sidewalk, Chuck Norris steps aside so John can pass.
That’s how awesome Johnny Cash is.
Hurt <--- Pretty sure this was his last song. Its amazing.
God's Gonna Cut You Down
