Same thing. But when I discovered him, I didn't know much about music, so there was nothing else to listen to lol.
I saw him live last November, it was truly awesome. So if he ever toured on your side of the pond, try not to miss it.

Ah yes, I knew it.

Went quick huh. I wonder how an encore works with that sort of music?

Well when the concert ended, I thought they were adjusting the instruments or something of this sort (cz I literally thought only a few minutes had passed). It took the people a while, when they realised after minutes of complete silence, when the band was getting off stage, that they should shout for an encore. They then got on stage and played a song that lasted 10 minutes

No kidding, I didn't know how that worked.
I would love to see the guy but I don't think I'll get to plan on Yann stopping by Kansas on his tour anytime soon.

Hell I'm lucky to get Molly Hatchet.

SONG: Jackson
ARTIST: Johnny Cash and June Carter
ALBUM: At Folsom Prison

We got married in a fever! Hotter than a pepper sprout! We been talkin' bout, Jackson, ever since the fire went out. We're going to Jackson!

If I listen to this song one more time, I think I'll burn a hole in the record. Thats how much I love it. Best duet in the history of country music. And here's why.

1. Johnny Cash loved June Carter, June loved Johnny. Therefore they had amazing chemistry that only got better when they were up on the stage.

2. June didn't have the best of voices, but that's what makes it sound real and genuine.

3. This wasn't the typical lovey dovey gaze into teach other's eyes romance song, it had spunk.

4. That toe tapping knee slapping bluegrass backdrop gets your blood pumping

5. When June sings Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
You're goin' to Jackson; go comb your hair!

6. And when Johnny sings When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow.
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how

You just can't top that. And if any of you think different, you just come and take it up with me.

Jackson is a great country music song. Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood also do a great rendition of the song.

I think some of Johnny's finest moments are duets with June. Country music has a lot of good male/female duet songs. George Jones & Tammy Wynette's duets are almost as good as Johnny & June's. Tammy Wynette is my very favorite female country vocalist. The lyrics to her songs are really corny & pre-feminist but her woe begone vocals will break your heart.

Great job on Jackson, what a great song. Although I noticed you cited it as appearing on At Folsom Prison. The song was actually first recorded a year before on 'Carryin' On' (released Jan 1967), when Johnny was still married to his first wife Vivian. Some say the recording of the song for 'Carryin' On' and the initial live collaborations on the song leading up to the recording of 'At Folsom Prison' (Recorded Jan 1968) is largely responsible for sparking the beginning of their relationship.

I would like to dedicate this review to a certain old buzzard that hangs around my doorstep that I just can't seem to shoo away.

SONG: Veinte Anos
ARTIST: Buena Vista Social Club
ALBUM: Buena Vista Social Club

There is such a primitive exotic beauty about this song. My heart pounds when I listen to it. Even though I was born in Kansas I swear I am Cuban at heart.

The simplicity of the music just connects with my most primal features. My femininity soars out of me at the sound of those first few intoxicating notes. The way the masculinity and femininity dance around with each other is so primordial and satisfying. Oh how those two elements, man and woman, complement each other so well. And that rhythm cannot be ignored no matter how hard I try. It is a dangerous combination when both my rhythm and my femininity are awakened. I love to dance to this song, it reminds me what a terribly sexual being I can be. I feel the gracefulness of the music in me and I sway around my bedroom letting my hair fall around me and letting my clothes fall to the floor. Its amazing how beautiful music can make you feel beautiful. If I closed my eyes I would swear I was dancing up on a table in a red dress in a dark Cuban bar. Its a liberating feeling just letting go to such a simple pleasure. Its my indulgence. And sharing this passionate song with my even more passionate James Bond love affair is what makes it so much more to me than just another song. Its forever tied to him. God I love music. You cannot put a price tag on a song that makes you crave big fat cigars and wild sex.

I'd love to be able to do a write up so detailed, like you. As ridiculous as you may find that. I love your write ups. I always read them before I listen to the song. Once again. Brilliant write up Flower Child.
