Favorite Johnny Cash Song

Moshe · 02-26-2011, 09:57 AM

Folsom Prison Blues is my fave, but also Big River. And his version of Sunday Morning Comming Down is easilly the best.
I also liked the Johnny Cash Remixed album. I don't usually go for that sort of thing, and I would always prefer the unmolested Cash original, but I found some of the remixes give an original & refreshing take on some of these classic tracks

i dont understand how can anyone say one JC song stands above a hundred others??? he's written and/or sung so many great songs...picking one solitary track is like picking out one Beatles track or a single Elvis track...impossible

For me, it's Hurt.

I've been listening to the American series like a crazy person lately, so this is my favourite at the minute;

And I actually know a fella called Sam Hall as well.

Yep, Sam Hall is a kicking track. One of my faves off the American recordings series

Johnny first recorded this song on Ballads of the True West back in the mid-sixties.

Walk the line & Hurt

So many to choose from, but honestly it has to be
Legend of John Henry's Hammer. I like the build up
and the story. Of course every Johnny Cash song has
an awesome story.

Near enough an impossible task, but my favourites (at the moment) are Walk the line and Folsom Prison blues. To be honest there aren't many JC songs I don't like.
