This is why so many artists, even in hip hop, love Johnny Cash. He transcends genres. I dont even like country...but I love Johnny Cash .

[@andreablum3642]

Same!!

[@deborahhenderson5219]

Ditto

[@philippa5004]

Totally 👍

[@geo_ashburn]

That's no lie. Johnny Cash still has universal appeal

[@ashoja-pd7zt]

When certain artists have Him cover their song...and the original shrugs and says "I didnt realize I wrote it for The Man in Black" he did something right

[@minxiv7]

Johnny Cash was so far ahead of his time, yet such a badass even in his later years. ❤️

[@anneu53714]

His cover of HURT by Nine Inch Nails is a masterpiece.

[@drgwhatsthetruth3783]

Cash was the real deal. Certified, card carrying tough guy.

[@paulbucklebuckle4921]

Don't forget this was filmed in San Quentin prison

[@tararitz7005]

Fun fact: Merle Haggard was 20, in San Quentin prison when Johnny performed, & that was what got him into country music when he got out

[@margaretgonzales-charles4972]

I had never heard this. Amazing!

[@chrisperry2754]

That most certainly isn't what got him into music lmfao

[@tararitz7005]

[@autumnsmom1117]

@Tara Ritz I heard him say this on PBS when they were featuring Country Music. Music is indeed a healer.

[@brandonpaugh922]

I just made a comment on a different reaction video by Knox Hill saying that the album he made in San Quentin was gold. I did not know this thank you for the fun fact

[@janetdaviess5797]

Yes this from the famous San Quentin prison..... Performed for the inmates!

[@fauxtaux]

Delightful. Song was written by Johnny’s friend, the poet Shel Silverstein. This is first record I ever got, my dad drove me to the record store when it came out. I was not yet 5. I still have it even if Johnny and my dad have passed on. Thanks, guys Ps - meeting Cash and being hugged by him felt like being touched by the hand of God. Definitely a highlight in a life well lived,

[@Stormbrise]

My father who has also crossed over to the other side camp has also given me a love for Johnny Cash. I remember riding in a bus with him to Alaska with the 8-track in, and listening to Cash, Holly, Lynn, Jones among many others. This was one of his favorites to play, besides Pink Carnation

[@amyelizabeth529]

I never knew Shel Silverstein wrote this song...nor that he was friends with Cash. Very cool. Thanks.👍✌

[@e.l.france5136]

I never knew that either! I've had all of his books, totally delightful, with 'The Giving Tree' being the one to bring a tear. What a soul that man had.

[@donicapoirier]

@@Stormbrise Johnny was 'god' in my house. My father revered him, and looked a striking amount like him. I think many of us got our love for JC from our fathers..

[@im-already-tired-tomorrow]

Shel wrote 'The Giving Tree' and other children's books and many of Dr.Hooks songs . .

[@TownhouseLady]

He could spin a tale. My parents used to play this album when I was a kid. How cool is he recording at San Quentin prison?

[@alexanderferguson1734]

Yes he is. He’s a fucking badass. The record company he was working fought him on it but he said he wanted to play a concert for his people and make an album out of it.

[@jacqueline4514]

VERY cool!!!

[@willrichardson519]

1969? Written by Shel Silverstein, apparently.

[@wendyiwanitzki2461]

How Metallica got the idea.

[@messiahmoose]

I know BB King recorded an album at a Cook County Jail in 71 and Jerry Garcia played an acoustic set at Oregon State Prison in 82. Both worth looking for.

[@amyhartzell2941]

The man in black,, love this extraordinary! Next try Jackson by him and his wife June.

[@lisadempsey9259]

An all time favourite of mine!!!

[@ellengrace4609]

Yes! Jackson is a great song! It’s hotter than a pepper sprout. 😂

[@marlajacques6947]

I’ll never tire of that song ⭐️

[@markwhelan8233]

'One piece at a time' by johnny cash is hilarious

@mark Whelan, good call! Had forgotten about that one one. 😁

[@donnahughes2472]

I was looking to see if anyone mentioned that...great one! I still love "I've Been Everywhere", and of course, Sue!

[@jilliewillie8720]

True! That is a great song.😊

[@ilikebeets9600]

Good one Twins! For another classic story song: Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

[@l.thegirl2581]

Ooo that's a good one. Or Kenny Rodgers and the new edition "ruby dont take your love to town". Great guitar picking plus a story about the aftermath of war for one poor soldier.

[@jamesonbyrom5681]

Yessss

[@RadCenter]

"The Man in Black" and "Folsom Prison Blues" should be on your Johnny Cash playlist.

[@1lighthorse]

Hurt

[@Stormbrise]

You guys should read the book from Shel Silverstein “Where the Sidewalk Ends” for a un cursing version of this poem. He was the lyricist for the song.

[@kathyp1563]

Shel Silverstein has a few good books of poetry. They're all bazaar, clean, & goofy...which I like.

[@marshill3101]

Thanks for sharing that. I really like Shel Silverstein and I never knew Johnny's song was based on his poem. I learn so much music history from those who comment on the Twins channel, which is addition to the smiles they bring, is an added bonus.☺

[@Tami707]

@@kathyp1563 not all are clean - he wrote poetry for a playboy magazine before he became a children’s author. I have his not so child friendly ABC book.

[@kellygiannetti4848]

Lmao!! Y'all are too funny! Thx for the chuckle! 🤣

[@virginiav1704]

A great story telling song is The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Your channel will never be complete without a reaction to that classic by Charlie Daniels Band

[@louieporcarelli2959]

The Twins are natural born entertainers 💯

[@marygoodson4920]

Now you MUST listen to "Ode To Billie Joe" by Bobby Gentry!!!

[@sandracox9287]

Awesome song, have you listened to his song Ring of Fire? It really shows off his voice. Another funny song is One Piece at a Time. Also, the song Jackson he sings with his wife June.

[@lh6890]

Ring of Fire is awesome!

[@Elite59]

Love all those, especially Jackson! June had a beautiful voice... "and I'll be dancing on a pony keg!"

[@shirleydurr411]

His wife -- June Carter -- wrote "Ring of Fire."

[@AyDotHam]

These are just the three songs I want them to listen, too. Good thinking!

[@steveaustin5399]

The shots of the inmates at San Quentin is awesome! That was and still is unheard of playing at a penitentiary!

[@davebeach2343]

The only other performer that did a live album was B.B. King live at Cook County Jail. An incredible piece of music.

[@steveaustin5399]

@@davebeach2343 is there a video for it?? Id have to check that out if so! BB King is literally a KING of rock / blues!

[@sharonbrown6595]

These twins loved this song. Nice to see them laughing like this

[@matrox]

I like how the younger generation is checking out our music we listened to growing up. The 50s-70s had the greatest collection of music in the history of music. It was a great time for kids to grow up. Great music and cool cars set the tone. Unfortunately all that is lost now.

[@darlenegreen4035]

Isn't he great? Love your laughter...thanks for this BANGER..❤

[@southprockhard]

I grew up listening to Johnny Cash, me and my sister used to laugh in the back seat to this song. We had the censored version and sob was bleeped out XD

My husband and I got married in mid July, 28 years ago and we just returned from our anniversary trip to Gatlinburg Tennessee. For the first time in my life I heard the line "it was Gatlinburg in mid July". Funny how words written 50+ years ago can hit a familiar key at just the right time.
