Johnny Cash
John R. Cash (born J. R. Cash; February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American country singer-songwriter. Much of Cash's music contained themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. He was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band characterized by train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, free prison concerts, and a trademark all-black stage wardrobe which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black". Born to poor cotton farmers in Kingsland, Arkansas, Cash rose to fame during the mid-1950s in the burgeoning rockabilly scene in Memphis, Tennessee, after four years in the Air Force. He traditionally began his concerts by simply introducing himself, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash", followed by "Folsom Prison Blues", one of his signature songs. His other signature songs include "I Walk the Lin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gone Girl (Johnny Cash Song)
"Gone Girl" is a song written by Jack Clement and originally recorded by Johnny Cash, giving its title to Cash's album '' Gone Girl'' that appeared in December 1978. Cash recorded this song with producer Larry Butler on May 4, 1978, later returning to work on it on August 1. "'Gone Girl' was certainly worth the extra time, with a smooth melody that gives Cash the room to glide into the low notes, and a rhythm that is infectious," writes C. Eric Banister in his book ''Johnny Cash FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Man in Black''. Released by Cash as a single (Columbia 3-10817, with "I'm Alright Now" on the opposite side) in September, the song only reached number 44 on U.S. ''Billboard A billboard (also called a hoarding in the UK and many other parts of the world) is a large outdoor advertising structure (a billing board), typically found in high-traffic areas such as alongside busy roads.
