I’m visiting some friends right now who aren’t very big country music fans, but they have a three year old who apparently is. They bought a Johnny Cash CD for their little boy, and it’s all he wants to listen to. I’m not sure where he gets his moves, but he definitely is [...]
I’ve never been that big of a Tammy Wynette fan, but I recently put her box set into my mix on my iPod. The other day I was out running, and about the time it really started to hurt, “I Don’t Want to Play House” came on my mix. All of a sudden, I [...]
I heard this song on my way to work this morning. I love it when I hear a song that I’d completely forgotten about but love. It’s like hearing it for the first time all over again. As I was listening to it, it sounds like something Kris Kristofferson would write, but [...]
In honor of Father’s Day, I thought I’d put together a quick list of some of my favorite “Dad” songs. Some are sweet, some are funny, some are downright mean. Some have nothing to do with dads except for the title, others talk about dad in the lyrics. I’m sure there are [...]

I read this a while back and just remembered it. My favorite part is his advice for rappers who receive criticism:
“Ignore it,” Cash says. “Do what you do. You can’t let people delegate to you what you should do when it’s coming from way in here [taps heart]. I wouldn’t let anybody influence me [...]
Johnny Cash’s live album recorded in California’s San Quentin prison is a far cry from the flower child hippie stuff other people were releasing at the time. Cash played in various prisons throughout his career, and the recordings at San Quentin and Folsom Prison both produced highly successful albums. The original release of At [...]
This is currently my favorite greatest hits cd. Disc 1 is Kris singing some of his biggest songs, and Disc 2 is the same songs being done by other artists, in most cases the artist that made them famous.
I love Roger Miller doing “Bobby McGhee”, Ray Price doing “For the Good Times”, and of course [...]
Okay, I’ll admit it. As much as I hate both Reece Witherspoon and Jaquine (sp?) Pheonix, I liked the movie a lot. I wish Johnny and June could have been there to see it. I pretty much knew a lot about Johnny before the movie, but I did learn some stuff about [...]
