Will check in to comment tomorrow when I'm sober. Cincident to which, I missed George Jones and David Allen Coe in my cursory scan..

'Night, all.

Tallpine · « **Reply #28 on:** August 06, 2011, 11:43:30 PM »

Geez, I'm getting old and forgetful, but I did mention George Jones in my first list I think.

Another good one is Stonewall Jackson.

Don't be angry that I didn't mention him sooner.

I just downloaded this off of amazon. It's ok. It's sounds like someone is playing a guitar around a campfire though.

My three favorite Cash songs are "God's gonna cut you down", "The Man comes around" and "Folsom Prison Blues". All three of those songs have far more dynamic range in both the vocals and the instruments than "Tennessee stud". Cash's songs are just so darn powerful I love it.

Dynamic range? Is that what songs are judged on?

I just thought it was a good ballad, hopefully accompanied by some quality guitar pickin'.

Just as the title says. I'm a huge fan of Johnny Cash. What other artists should I check out? Thanks.

If that don't do it, I guess you'll have to settle for Alan Jackson and George Strait.

playing at a campfire is one of the few benefits to owning an acoustic guitar.

a strat or LP is just out of place.

This is kind of a thread drift, but I knew American Idol had jumped the shark when this guy was never seen again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PydnNhYla3Y

You did, Tallpine. As i noted, that was a "brownn lightning:-incuced reading comprehension failure on my part. Covered a lot of the rest of my list, as well.

IMHO -one of the most overlooked country performers ever - VERN GOSDIN
A little history- Gosdin was part of the Bakersfield California music scene. He worked with a lot of big names, not only in country, but folk rock, rock, bluegrass and gospel as well. The guy was awesome.

The music is great, but the host says "whackadoodle" way too much.

Every time I hear The Cat's in the Cradle. Which is way too often, thank you. "Cat's in the Cradle" is like "God Bless the USA." If you only heard it once, it would be a great song. If you heard it twice, it would be OK. The third time around, you just want to punch the artist in the face.

Honestly, most of his music I've heard from my wife's Inigo Montoya album. It could be that I just don't like Mr. Patinkin's singing voice.

Get yourself signed up to Spotify as soon as it is available, if it's not already.

Not exactly in the Cash vein, but a hoarse singer with a bar-room brawl of a back-up band - the first three Felice Brothers albums. The new one is a bit of a new avenue, but the older ones are really steeped in various American music traditions.

Love me tenderly
Rockefeller Drug Law Blues
Greatest Show on Earth - obligatory pointing out of gun reference in song "she keeps a .38 Smith & Wesson at her side"

Fantastic live. Saw them at the End of the Road festival last September, one of the few bands I'd really go out of my way to see again.

There are also a lot of new acts that both stick to the old style, as well as have created what I consider a fusion style (not modern country, but a cross of alt rock and bluegrass/old country)

The Civil Wars.

Ironically enough Harry Chapin died in a fiery car crash.
