I remember Tomboy telling me about this back in August 08 when he allowed me to post his remix of Get Rhythm that eventually didn't make it into the album. Apparently a Johnny Cash remix album is not a very good idea.. I Googled for some reactions/reviews & all were either meh'd or negative about it, Pitchfork gave it a 0.2 (yep point two) out of 10 . I decided to sit down and listen t...

A new Johnny Cash tribute album called All Aboard features punk and rock artists covering some of Cash's most well-known songs. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed a few of the songs ("Let the Train Whistle Blow," "Delia's Gone" and "I Still Miss Someone.") Plus, all the proceeds from album sales will go to a non-profit organization [...]

Not to be outdone by Elvis remixes and the internet mash-up culture, Compadre Records has given the album Johnny Cash Remixed a January 27 in-store and online release date. (A small number of independent records stores have already stocked the vinyl deluxe edition of the album last month.) Produced by the Man in Black's son John Carter Cash, Snoop Dogg, and Mathew Knowles (father/manager of Be...

It saddens me to see to see the belongings of greats being sold off when they die. Case in fact the ebony, hand-made Chinese wedding bed previously owned by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. I guess in the end, it's all just stuff… The upside is that after Barry Gibb (yes THAT Barry Gibb) purchased [...]~~

It's hard not to be cynical about Johnny Cash Remixed. Let's see, what sounds better than having a dozen or so hip hop and electronic acts take songs by the legendary Man In Black and add their beats and raps to them? Well, the results are fairly predictable. Was there really anyone demanding to hear what "Get Rhythm" would sound like if it were performed by Eiffel 65? Unfortunately it's a

This is quite the appropriate song to start off the RSS series. In the last couple of years I've been able to listen again to some of that music from my childhood and hear it with fresh ears and even enjoy it, this being one of those prime cases. When I was growing up, the earliest two artists I can recall are Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell. This is because my brother and I had a portable tape c...

" Gods Gonna Cut You Down" - Johnny CashIn the twilight of his recording career, and not long before his passing, The "Man in Black" committed to tape a truly brilliant and moving version of this old traditional folk song.Odetta, The Blind Boys of Alabama and even Elvis had all gone before in recording their own versions of "God's Gonna Cut You Down" sometimes known as "Run on", a great testa...

I got a promo of the Johnny Cash Remixed project. I must admit I was skeptical. However, it is really cool. The Man in Black didn't believe in labels and without fear crossed genres and broke down barriers. Hell, he spent then end of his career working with Rick Rubin. So I think he would approve. Besides his son is an executive producer. Check out this MP3 of Big River (Count Da Money Remix)Al...

I'm such a bad person. I stumbled in at 1.30 with a gang of folks and blasted music 'til 2.30, waking up my room mate. What an a-hole. She woks the same hours as me, and while it was my decision to stay up stupidly late and suffer for it at work today, it wasn't hers. So so so danged sorry.Here's my remorseful song, Johnny Cash covering Bonnie 'Prince' Billie (with Billie doing backing vocals)

Like I said - it's really very personal. Both the record itself and my reaction to it. The more I listen to it the more I dig it. There's a lot of truth in it.What I think about most when I listen to it is that I want my father to listen to it. How do describe the Colonel... decrepit ol' Marine with shitty lungs and fragile skin. "Like the 309" sounds just like him. _It should be a while ...

I will be hitting the bottle in just a bit, I figure I have earned it now that I am officially on my winter break. The week before vacation is always a rough one for teachers, and I am ready for bed at this point in the night. I will not go down with out a fight however, and have promised myself some whiskey before calling it a night. While it would be easy to post music that would be fun to li...
