Rip - my 2 faves were "A Boy Named Sue", and that one about the car that was made up of lots of different cars - "I got a 1949-50-51-52-53 Chevrolet" - or something like that. LOL - sounds like one of Lazs's projects.

Dang, missed two good ones! (Ring of fire, I got a ---) The guy recorded something like 1500 songs!:eek:

City of New Orleans sung by Cash is a great one. And naturally, "I walk the line" though its waaaay too short of song.

This song was running through my head when Oedipus (I think) posted that thread in which he had a severe case of the poops for four days.

Hey Rip did you get "Rusty Cage" ?

I love Johnny Cash, hearing his rendition of the Soundgarden tune cracked me up.

Remember his variety show on TV back years ago? His brother, before he died, was the lead guitarist. Man, he was one heck of a country picker.

I love songs about horses, railroads, land, judgement day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak, and love. And Mother. And God.

Did he sing on any of them or just talk through them all?
