Day 640
If you are not a Johnny Cash fan i have to apologise for the next couple of days. I intend to do some of his 1959 album "Songs of our Soil". Backed up by mainly The Tennessee Two and with vocal backing by the legendary The Jordanaires this album maybe the best of the early Columbia ones. There's some real fine songs on it in a wide range of styles for that time. Cash was even allowed to include a song about tbe American Indian on it, "Old Apache Squaw" as B3.
The original album contained the single "Five Feet high and rising" (Johnny Cash) as A2. I first got me a cheap reprint of the album as a kid on Hallmark, 'The magnificent Johnny Cash', which a slightly different line-up of songs. Though the B side is the exact sequence of the original album 'Songs of our Soil', the A side varies a bit. There's no "Five Feet high and rising" as A2, so all songs shift up 1. The final A side track on the original pressing, "The Great Speckled Bird" (Reverend Guy Smith) moves from A6 to A5, making room for the later recorded "Austin Prison" (Johnny Cash) to replace "Five Feet high and rising" on the A side and closing the cheap reprint as A6. That's like i said the album's version i first heard as a kid.
So here is A3, "The Man on the Hill" (Johnny Cash) ????
Be sure to spread love, not hate ????
Thanks for watching. Be safe ????
The only schedule on this series is that there is none. Just a different song every day, that's all there is to it. Some will suck, some will be quite okay; and all 'verdicts' in between, too. So, so far it's been 257 finished songs and old demos i (co)wrote myself (not including songs in Dutch and yet untitled ideas). The rest are covers of various songs i love or just like to pick.. Just wondering how many there will be one day ????????
