Couple React To Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues

There are two types of people. Those who love Johnny Cash, and those who will.

This is from a live concert he performed at Folsom Prison. The entire album is gold. I hope you check it out.

[@robertc.1958]

@LuisChavez-qq8sv: Indeed! Actually - BOTH Johnny Cash's LIVE concert albums ( recorded LIVE in front of a live audience of prison inmates ) are brilliant - 1) Folsom ( State ) Prison - "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison" ( 1968, ) and 2) San Quentin ( State ) Prison - "Johnny Cash at San Quentin" ( 1969. ) Both Folsom State Prison and San Quentin State Prison are located in California. Johnny Cash had previously given live-on-stage, charity, concerts for prison inmates at various prisons. He was very pro- prison reform. Johnny Cash had previously recorded a non- live version of "Folsom Prison Blues" as a single ( in 1955, ) and then for his album "Johnny Cash and His Hot and Blue Guitar" ( 1957. ) The non- live version peaked at #4 on the charts. But it was the LIVE version, recorded for "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison," that was a MONSTER hit - in 1968 ( #1 on the charts. )

[@PeartEnvy2112]

Johnny Cash, what an incredible storyteller. You really will enjoy "One Piece at a Time" and "25 Hours to Go". Who am I kidding I love ALL of Johnny Cash songs.

Johnny was a real bad ass. His early work was ground breaking.

[@johanrunfeldt7174]

Ground breaking at his Dad's farm.

[@jesusochoa2526]

Agreed. Even his later work, his renditions of songs. You can hear the change of his soul. A lot of learning and mistakes made him who he was.

[@robertmckinnon7003]

He had actually been arrested in Mexico smuggling in speed. A very short time before this show.

[@PHILPOP2]

Johnny Cash was gangsta, and metal before gangsta rap, and metal ever existed!

[@Jessedog11]

johnny cash is a pure American Treasure. he was great.

[@sd6458]

You really got to think of the times he was basically the rapper back then

[@JohnChilders-x9t]

He actually sang that in a concert at folsom prison this was live he is great

[@RM-ks8pp]

Yes this track is from the album Live at Folsom prison. Another great track from that album is "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer". Many other great tracks from that album as well...

[@alanh1508]

my favorite song by Johnny Cash is "Delia's Gone". It much like "Cocaine Blues".

[@danareynolds1786]

Johnny went to his record company with the idea of recording a live album in prison. They said NO. He said he would pay for the recording of it, and if they didn't like the final cut, then OK, no record. I guess you know the results!

[@joeday4293]

I think my favorite part of the entire album, even more than the songs, is during a break when the prisoners learn that they are recording a live album. Johnny says, "Yeah, we're recording a live album for Columbia Records, and you can't say hell or shit (bleeped on the original) or anything like that." Then like a boss he turns to Columbia rep Bob Johnston and says, "How's that grab ya, Bob?" 😆👍

[@cliffordwaterton3543]

Johnny Cash swings from songs like this to religious songs. as somewhere inbetween, i suggest 'Jackson' which he often performed in duet with his wife June. there is a live version on youtube which you should watch together so you can take sides. love what you're doing - keep it up.

[@joshkeck6348]

I also didn't expect this from Johnny Cash back when I first heard it, I ALSO didn't expect it when I found out that Woodie Guthrie did it decades before... even weirder hearing him do it tbh

[@michaelfontanelli2450]

Tasha is so cute. I always wind up watching her reactions.

That recording is from January 13, 1968. He did another one a year late, at San Quentin. prison. He sings A Boy Named Sue. Check that one out. You will be glad you did.

All music from the '60s & '70s be it Country, Pop Or Rock was real music not like today where it is auto-tuned, an American idol U know. Great reaction.

[@william678910]

The song is about an "Act of passion" mixed with a little cocaine and whiskey xD

[@sandyshoenberger2697]

Thank you Thank you doing the songs that Johnny Cash fans love! Everyone does Hurt, which is good. But this is Johnny Cash that made us love him!! Jackson and Understand Your Man are good ones.

[@jenniferlemming3249]

Per Wikipedia, "Cocaine Blues" is a Western swing song written by T. J. "Red" Arnall, a reworking of the traditional song "Little Sadie". Other singers, such as Woody Guthrie have covered the version you just heard by Johnny Cash. One of Johnny Cash's other songs, not well known, that I love is Starkville Mississippi Jail. Happy Listening.

[@mt3311]

At the end there, the announcement was for two inmates that had visitors. The A before their name was their number. They went 100,000 in each letter, and by 1990 were up to the middle of E. That song is a remake of an old 1930's Folk song called Transfusion Blues. Cash sings that version too.

[@SIXX2772]

@TLM Quotes from a book people wrote. It is useless other than as an example of self-serving propaganda. Think of the oceans of blood spilled in the name of some idiotic gods and the unending profit people have made off religion. It is evil.

[@SmithDoe]

He did indeed performed this song at Folsom Prison. In the Movie "Walk the line" we see that his recording company was against the Idea of him performing in a prison. Saying his fans was mainly Christians and they wouldn't like to see him play for criminals. Johnny said "Well, they are not good Christians then" and didn't care. Saying that he's going to play at Folsom prison, provide them recordings and they can do whatever they want with it. Ended up that album have been the biggest seller in 1969. Even sold more than The Beatles.

[@EdwardGregoryNYC]

"One Piece at a Time" is another fun track from Cash and I don't think there's been many reactions, if any, to it yet.

Need to do a reaction to his song I never picked cotton. I dont know how everyone keeps missing one of his top songs all the time.

[@gizzy2403]

Johnny was " Outlaw Country " along w/ Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Chris Kristofferson ( kinda), David Allen Coe, &Charlie Daniels. I jus wouldn't go searching too deep into David Allen Coe's stuff, u might find something u & Tasha dont want to hear.Hes a unique individual to put it lightly ! Great review!🍻🍸

You should watch the movie Walk the Line really great and there's footage in it when Johnny Played it. Um and there's even a guy there and wrote a song and Johnny sang and later helped that man this was performed and recorded at Folsom Prison

This is a version of an old folk song alternately titled "Little Sadie" . Bob Dylan did a couple of versions of it. Many covers, but Johnny added it to his set and added his own lyrics. or borrowed them from an Inmate.

Johnny Cash was one of the greats and will be remembered as such. Another great was Marty Robbins and along with Hank Snow was a brilliant country story teller, his El Paso, Running gun, They’re hanging me tonight are just three of the many brilliant stories sung by Marty Robbins. Hank Snow, I’ve been everywhere, millers cave, etc.

[@robertprice6830]

Great song great reaction.

[@tntcyclespdx]

Johnny was a gangster, before there was gangsters.

[@nunuvyabusiness8550]

This a version of the traditional song “Little Sadie”. I believe the original is from the 1930’s . The Cocaine Blues version came a little later. But this is in my opinion the best version of all.

[@april6058]

A lot of country music has an upbeat tempo which belies the content of the lyrics. To give an idea as to why Cash always wore black you should listen to “Man in Black” Another song I like is “Tennessee Flat Top Box” sung by Johnny Cash. Or “Sunday Morning Coming Down” written by Kris Kirstofferson.

[@danielabatabogdanov8586]

Very genuine reactors!

[@tntcyclespdx]

Outlaw country can be pretty insane!

You should listen to Lorne Greene's "Ringo", and Marty Robbins "El Paso" and "El Paso City". Thes songs I've mentioned are good story telling songs.

Tennessee Flat Top Box is another great song by Johnny with some amazing guitar work by Luther Perkins.

[@ScaredDawgProductions]

I've just discovered your channel and have been loving your reactions, especially to country. This was the music I grew up on. In one of your reaction video (I can't remember which one, as I've listened to several tonight), it was mentioned about whether or not this type of story telling with such emotion, was still happening in the genre. MHO is no. Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Conway Twitty, etc. were the heart of country. Like when a grandparent dies, the family is never the same. And when these people have gone, the country music family is not the same. George Jones did a song entitled "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?" that touches on what I've been saying. If you decide to react to this song, please make sure to watch the official video as it is part of the story. Many stars that are mentioned in the song had already passed, thus motivating the question as to who will fill their shoes. Thank you for such enjoyable videos, and keep it up.
