Johnny Cash

Puddles Pity Party managed to mash up two unlikely tunes into one, combining the Johnny Cash classic Folsom Prison Blues with The Who’s Pinball Wizard. We’re not sure why it works, but Puddles always does a good job hypnotizing us with his voice.

Ever listened to Johnny Cash’s take of I’ve Been Everywhere and pondered just how far the man in black’s travels took him? This site provides a great visualization of the far-flung places he wandered to from that dusty Winnemucca Road.

Contrary to what Jesse Morris says at the start of his subway performance of Sunday Morning Coming Down, he sure as hell sounds like Johnny Cash to us. Sadly, like Johnny, Jesse is no longer with us. R.I.P.

The Man in Black’s essential, gritty prison albums are back on vinyl – the way they were meant to be heard. Get locked up in Folsom or San Quentin. No turntable? Nab the CDs – but you won’t be as cool.
