This is a really great Johnny Cash video. Check it out.

This is one lonesome mournful song - - recorded with producer Rick Rubin near the end of Cash's life.

Nobody can tell a story in song like Johnny Cash. Just dropping by to share this song....have a great weekend MOG land.

I read recently that Justin Timberlake came up with an idea for a Johnny Cash video for the song, "God's Gonna Cut You Down". In the video, about a long list of an eclectic group of stars appear in the vid, all wearing Johnny's signature black. "Timberlake tops a list of 36 stars who appear in the clip, including Iggy Pop, Kanye West, Coldplay's Chris Martin, actor Terrence Howard, Anthony Kiedis and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chris Rock, Maroon 5's Adam Levine...

The sky has been threatening rain since I woke up this morning. It never follows through, brooding silently overhead. The day seems miserable and airless, static. It’s one of those days when you could be the only soul alive. I take the SAT for the last exhausting time and drive home in a fog. I fumble with my keys at the back door and find my way inside. Without warning, I am knocked over by Johnny Cash’s deep and rich voice as it rumbles with thunderous conviction... MORE

does anyone else absolutely love johnny cash's new sound on american V? i mean i was never a huge cash fan because all of his songs sounded light and upbeatish, even when the lyrics were a bit darker. but his guitar playing and vocals have a whole new depth on this album. it's too bad he's no longer around to make more music. but there is still american VI to look forward to sometime this year. seriously, his voice makes this song.

This new Johnny Cash video for "God's Gonna Cut You Down" has been generating some mixed reactions. Regardless, the song is great... And if it sounds familiar, maybe you recall it as "Run On" from Moby's Play. This video was directed by Mike Mills (Thumbsucker)...

Say what you will about the fact that the celebrities in this video really have nothing to do with the song, but it works for me.

I'm a Rockfiend, but the house I grew up in wasn't filled with music. Sure we had an old record player and a bunch of cheap records, kids records, folk albums, and a bunch of my moms 1001 Strings albums. We listened to NPR sometimes, and books on tape more when we were in the car. My Mom has been a Johnny Cash fan for a long time, but she never over played his music, and that's ok, because it means that as an adult I have been able to find my own way though his catalog. ...

Today I received my copy of "A Hundred Highways" the latest (maybe the last) recording of The Man in Black, unluckelywise I cant listen to the CD right now because my collegue dont like "such" music, so I have to wait until home to listen. The reviews of this Album are not so bad so I hope for a genuine enjoyment for my ears.

Just finally bought the most recent Johnny Cash cd from the American Recordings series...phenomenal! Actually much better than the last two despite it being recorded from his deathbed. Cover alert: Gordon Lightfoot's If You Could Read My Mind...almost as good as Sundown! I have a love/hate relationship with Johnny Cash. My partner (Jim) and I have wildly different musical taste and Johnny Cash is one of the few we have in common (besides Sarah McLachlan and to some degre... MORE

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 before I see doctor DeathSo, it would sure would be nice if I could get my b... MORE

So it's here. Came in the mail today, delivered to my office. But I can tell I'm not ready to listen to it yet. I'm surprised that it affects me so. But I can't listen to it here. Tonight, after work, after my shift at the hospital, I'll be sitting on my couch with the headphones on giving this first listen-through the attention it deserves. I don't know - it's weird that having this album in my hands brings his death back to me. I was sitting in this same chair in... MORE
