This is from the Sun-recording done in the 50's. The intro and solo are as played by Luther Perkins. I haven't found the correct solo tab so I've made it myself, and I think it's the most accurate. The solo that Bob Wootton plays at San Quentin, is the same except for the part with the slide. I think Wootton plays it like this instead: G|--4-44-- D|-6-6--6- If you want to play along with the recording, you have to tune up your guitar 3/4 (or 1/4 with the capo on 1st fret). This will match Luther's tuning.

    Johnny Cash by Dave Hoekstra Sept. 11, 1988 HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. A slow drive from the new steel-and-glass Nashville airport to the old stone-and-timber House of Cash in Hendersonville absorbs a lot of passionate land. A couple of folks have pulled over to inspect a black honky-tonk piano that has been dumped along the roadway. Cabbie Harold Pylant tells me I am the same age Jesus Christ was when he was crucified. Of course, this is before Pylant hands over a liter bottle of ice water that has been blessed by St. Peter. This is life close to the earth. Johnny Cash has spent most of his 56 years near the earth, spiritually and physically. He was born in a three-room railroad shack in Kingsland, Ark. Father Ray Cash was an indigent farmer who, when unable to live off the black dirt, worked on the railroad, picked cotton, chopped wood and became a hobo laborer. Under a New Deal program, the Cash family moved to a more fertile northeastern Arkansas in 1935, where Johnny began work as a child laborer on his dad's 20-acre cotton farm. By the time he was 14, Johnny Cash was making $2.50 a day as a water boy for work gangs along the Tyronza River. "The hard work on the farm is not anything I've ever missed," Cash admitted in a country conversation at his House of Cash offices here, with Tom T. Hall on the turntable and an autographed picture of Emmylou Harris on the wall.

  • Johnny Cash Returns to ‘Stamping Ovation’ Legendary Singer Is Second Inductee Into Multi-Year Music Icons Series
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Mark Saunders June 5, 2013 [email protected] 202-268-6524 usps.com/news Release No. 13-056 To obtain a high-resolution of the stamp image for media use only, please email [email protected]. Johnny Cash Returns to ‘Stamping Ovation’ Legendary Singer is Second Inductee into Multi-Year Music Icons Series NASHVILLE — John Carter Cash, Rosanne Cash, Larry Gatlin, Jamey Johnson, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Roys, Marty Stuart, Randy Travis and other entertainers paid tribute to Johnny Cash as he was inducted today into the Postal Service’s Music Icons Forever stamp series at the Grand Ole Opry’s Ryman Auditorium. “With his gravelly baritone and spare percussive guitar, Johnny Cash had a distinctive musical sound — a blend of country, rock ’n’ roll and folk — that he used to explore issues that many other popular musicians of his generation wouldn’t touch,” said U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors member Dennis Toner. “His songs tackled sin and redemption, good and evil, selfishness, loneliness, temptation, love, loss and death. And Johnny explored these themes with a stark realism that was very different from other popular music of that time.” “It is an amazing blessing that my father, Johnny Cash be honored with this stamp. Dad was a hardworking man, a man of dignity. As much as anything else he was a proud American, always supporting his family, fans and country. I can think of no better way to pay due respect to his legacy than through the release of this stamp,” said singer-songwriter, producer John Carter Cash, Johnny Cash’s son.

  • Kristofferson Hit Songs.Rtf
    Oct. 17, 2004--- The year 1969 was golden for Kris Kristofferson, who wrote three iconic songs that year. "Sunday Morning Coming Down" became an anthem for Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin had her final hit with "Me and Bobby McGee," and Ray Price's remorseful take on "For the Good Times" remains timeless. Here's Kristofferson talking about how he wrote each song: "Sunday Morning Coming Down": "I was writing about what I was living at the time," Kristofferson said. "I was living alone in a condemned apartment that cost $50 a month, right on Music Row in Nashville. It was a dump. If you didn't have a family, Sundays were a pretty lonely time on Music Row. Everything was shut. The bars weren't even open. "The song's form was probably helped out by my relationship with Mickey Newbury. I know the 'wishin' lord I was stoned' sounds like a Mickey Newbury line. "John Cash always said I flew it in to Cash's backyard in a helicopter. But that wasn't the song I had at the time. As long as John cut it later and did me such a good turn by doing that, I'm willing to go along with whatever he said. But I had been pitching songs at John a long time. Every song I wrote I'd give to June Carter Cash or Cash's guitarist Luther Perkins to give to him. He knew who I was and he was very encouraging to me as a songwriter, but he never cut anything of mine.
