Ezekiel Saw the Wheel - Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash sings a Woody Guthrie song, and is backed by the Mighty Clouds of Joy and the Carter Family for a 1982 Christmas special.
The backing band includes Earl Poole Ball on piano, Bob Wooton on guitar, W.S. Holland on drums, Jimmy Tittle on bass, and Marty Stuart on guitar. If I were a betting man, I would bet that Bill Walker's orchestra is also backing Cash.

what a young man Johnny Cash was here....

[@lesabooth5243]

NASA has a patent of the Ezekiels wheel. The Omni wheels on our rovers in space are created originally from his description of the wheels

[@msuddie1237]

Absolutely amazing!! Johnny could fit in anywhere - he rocked here in this gospel song - I feel the joy!! He was not appreciated properly or fully when he was here with us - he was such a multi-faceted musical performer.

[@corneliadenninger5395]

I agree at all points.

[@annbush1826]

Both Johnny Cash and Elvis brought glory to gospel songs we knew only from going to black churches. They are truly a cornerstone of American history.

[@megabluex1]

Wot?

[@pinkiesue849]

Mega, the black churches don't hold back their praises

The bar stick up scene in Cyberpunk 2077 with this song name of the mission brought me here :)

[@GregFowlerPlus]

Here from Cyberpunk 2077 - game has lots of flaws, but all the missions are named after awesome songs like this...

[@teresamorgan3037]

Hank you--This is definitely better than the woody version!

[@pursequeen6148]

Love me some Johhny!!! And the story of Ezekiel ♡

[@aldenvincent5001]

Good one .

[@JosephCrump-g6g]

Ezekiel the Priest of the works!

[@SpaceGhost67]

No better clip on KZbin; this guy was dropped off by that wheel.

[@CashPresley32]

John's daughter Cindy Cash is in this too.

[@corneliadenninger5395]

Who is the Lady that is singing with Cindy at the same mic?

[@nicmart]

One of the indiscernible blobs?

[@atocox166]

I was simply checking out how this song goes, since I'm learning from a book a whole bunch of campfire songs. hopefully in the future , after I've learned them, I'll actually be in the mood to want to play them.

I had a dream where I was on a railroad going straight ahead and saw Jesus at the end, then the railroad turned 90 degrees and went straight ahead and Jesus was again at the end. This happened several times. The living creatures being on the earth show the structure, the Word of God, which does not change. You go straight ahead not turning to the right or left, but are able to turn because the wheels in the wheels can go in any of four directions. One set of wheels overlaps the others and then does the other. Then the creatures fly over the earth showing we must be led by the Holy Spirit. Still following the Word, but with the freedom to overcome the forces over the earth. Turn, turn, turn from sin and turn to God.

[@pinkiesue849]

Thank you

[@lesabooth5243]

Were there Peyote buttons where Ezekiel was hanging out that day by the river?

[@michaelmonfils2642]

That Abe Lincoln was a multi-talented guy.

[@aprilstewart6192]

😂😂

[@malrosee9450]

Amen sang

[@davidm1149]

Right. Ezekiel saw a spaceship. Moses at Mt Sinai, again a spaceship. Jesus rode, again, on a spaceship. But we won't talk about that.

[@marctompkins3001]

Must have been in the early 80's, his hair was cut that short for a movie he did with Andy Griffith.

[@corneliadenninger5395]

1982! Christmas special at Memphis (TN). /CD

[@RyanViafora]

How is this not about an alien encounter?

[@DrGeorgeAntonios]

It's the other way around. "Alien" encounters are naught but "devil" encounters but in modern terms in order to fool the modern atheistic would-be intellectual.

[@FlatlandMando]

Bible study never spends too much time on the book of Ezekiel, wonder why?

[@micktulk]

It's an AWAKENING....who are the living creatures......us?

[@pinkiesue849]

It's God's space and time ship.

[@philbaker7873]

In Eze. 1:3, the prophet Ezekiel had a vision of these creatures IN HEAVEN (NOT ALIENS), From the Word of Jehovah (the Lord) to Ezekiel. Just read God's Word and accept it. God is NOT a man who would lie about this. (Num. 23:19)

[@MrPraise2013]

Hello Can someone please post the mighty clouds of joy singing before singing Ezekiel Saw the Wheel? Thank you

[@brians2259]

Cyberpunk 2077 brought me here, not disappointed.

[@CathrineMacNiel]

Stay cool honey bunny!

[@shalpert1947]

What was the wheel that the Prophet Ezekiel was seeing?

[@zinataran9422]

It was NOT a Woody Guthrie song though, was it?

[@scottbrown2974]

Correct. Written by the African American songwriter William L. Dawson.

[@pastorstevensimpson]

It is an African-American Spiritual, the music of enslaved people prior to the Emancipation Proclamation. It was first brought to greater attention by the Fisk Jubilee Singers in the 1870s. William Levi Dawson was a talented composer and choir director. It's more likely that Dawson arranged the Spiritual for choral singing.

[@ricklane8554]

Looked very skinny there....

[@levi9204]

Lol

[@EarlJohn61]

The Man in Black, singing with a bunch of guys that have skin close to the same colour that which Jesus would've had!

[@FlatlandMando]

Bingo

I love the book of Ezekiel in the Torah, the Old Testament. I want to learn how to play Ezekiel saw the Wheel. We must not use the lord's name in vain, honor the Sabbath and honor thy Father and thy mother. If you do not obey my commandments and statues or ordain my judgements and walk contrary unto me I will walk contrary unto you. I will punish you seven times according to your sins. I will send plagues, pestilence and famine. I will rob your children from you, send evil beast after you. You shall sow your seed in vain and your enemies shall eat your seed. I will plague you as if the firstborn Egyptians and punish you seven times according to your sins and the land shall enjoy it's Sabbaths!!! We must not use the lord's name in vain, honor the sabbath and honor thy father and thy mother.
