The Johnny Cash Show

[Milestones]

Anybody watching reruns of this?  It's on GetTV on Sunday Nights.  I don't think I was ever really aware of the original, which ran when I was 10-12 years old.  I was not much of a Cash fan back in the day, but did come around on him in a pretty big way.  I really like some of his late albums, such as the superb Unchained.

Anyway, it's a pretty cool show, and it illustrates how all music comes together--country, folk, rock, rockabilly.  And you even had jazz with Satchmo making an appearance.  Yes, Cash amazing music guests, such as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Carl Perkins, and The Monkees (a very nice harmony piece that ought to make anyone rethink this "manufactured" pop group).  And tonight I saw what may well have been the only U.S. TV appearance of Derek and the Dominos.

Would love to see the editions with Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles as guests ....

This show was a big hit in our house, watched it every week. I liked it too, always did like Johnny Cash, he had the first top 40 hit (that I know of) with a bleep!
