Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson - Long Black Veil (1993)

[@jimbanda]

Hard to believe that JC was gone just 10yrs later, his body ravaged by illness. He looks well here, strong and healthy. RIP 🙏

[@LudiCrust.]

It usually happens pretty quick. My dad went from working out 6 days a week and in phenomenal shape to looking like an old frail cripple in 3-4 months. Past bodybuilding had done a number on his lumbar spine and both of his hips & knees. Thankfully having 2 vertebrae fused and replacing one of his hips fixed about 90% of his pain but it only got worse. Once your health starts slipping it’s hard to get it back under control.

[@jimbanda]

@@LudiCrust. sadly what you say is true, my sisters first symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis started just two years ago, now she is in much pain and various medications. 🙏🙏

[@ssgdonp]

There will never be any other like these two. Rest in Heaven Johnny and Kris.

[@janenesolis2845]

Kris loved singing harmony for John. He did it so well. It is always special when these two sing together. 😊

[@rebeccaamaas6961]

I'm here in Texas, I'm Becky the Rebel. I grew up listening to These Awesome Guys.

[@Leslie-es5ij]

Id like to thank Kris and Rita for showing me how to beat the devil , they never knew that they saved my life. And taught me to appreciate music, especially country music as a rebellious teenage boy in the 70s. Thank you, and R.I.P. Kris ! From one who wanted to know .

[@Dee-JayW]

The BAND DOES THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VERSION during the Last Waltz ❤❤❤

[@cristinabumbac151]

They were not young anymore but their voices seem to be even better...if possible! And Johnny Cash is just amazing in this scene: white hair, golden voice and his unique way to make us feel every word. Thank you for this!

[@arisienltd8755]

RIP Kris the Absolute Legend. Thanks for your songs when we were happy, sad and indifferent ❤️

[@magdasmith1421]

I watch this almost every day. Beautiful.

[@magdasmith1421]

Me too.❤

[@ericcrowe2838]

A complete renaissance man and the last of my heroes. Never afraid to launch into something entirely new and different, even when it showed he was only human. I doubt we’ll get many more Oxford educated Rhodes scholar, helicopter piloting musicians who could write the best country and crossover songs, raise hell and face the consequences of it with a smile. You were the top of the heap Kris

[@Roger-se1zm]

I've always liked his voice. Kris Kristopher could do almost anything he wanted to.

[@enisdelmar3774]

He was so handsome ❤

[@xine9992]

Kristofferson doesn't often sing these old traditional songs. A pity, his voice is beautifully suited to them--wonderful that Cash had him join in this one

[@林東華-q4t]

Gorgeous memory for us

[@enisdelmar3774]

I adore his voice ❤

[@callmelenny]

It was written in 1959 and Lefty Frizzell recorded it. I wouldn’t call it traditional, maybe some arrangement present it that way. I think the Chieftain’s version is hard to beat.

[@nadiad1678]

Black white vail is one of my favorite songs of Mr. Jonny cash I love him and miss that 😢 he is not here with us here on earth but I know he still with us thank you for playing this song

[@Leslie-es5ij]

Radio stations wouldn't play any of the songs on that album back in the day. R.I.P. to all three of them. ❤ to all who want to know !

[@janhensley3617]

Beautiful. RIP LEGENDS 💔💔

[@charliemcgee9803]

This is real country. Tragic story, real instuments.

[@shaykatz5648]

Gads, I just love this song. Been watching The Band perform it. I'd have hard time deciding which version is best. I think the best is the 1 I'm currently watching. And Cash & Kristofferson are excellent.

[@JoeKnows44]

Kris is one of the most gracious and generous musicians ever. Such a talent and always willing to play second fiddle without sacrificing an ounce of passion. This is a blessing to have heard again today.

[@michaeloconnor1757]

The most gracious and generous..." That was my impression meeting him many years ago... I will always carry with me that memory...

[@TheMidnightModder]

Is that you, God?

[@xine9992]

True of both of these artists

Einzigartig, immer wieder tröstend. Positiv denken!!!Danke

[@tommypetersen2540]

Kris really is great at harmony, so seamless, especially with john

[@xine9992]

Yeah, would have been lovely to hear more like this.

[@itspipexd4035]

Two legends..i found kris by listening to johnny cash..👍👍

[@xine9997]

Me, too. Then I realized how much Kritofferson there was in Cash

[@robinlyons8620]

Johnny well be miss alot.😊😊😊

[@janicestacy9272]

Love this song these 2 did a great job on this!!❤

[@siaripop7]

There is an interesting story about how Johnny and Kris met so many years ago. As the story goes, Kris had been a helicopter pilot in Vietnam and had a song he wanted Johnny to hear, so he rented a helicopter and landed it in Johnny's back yard. Kris got a gig, and they became lifelong friends, but also friends with Waylon, Willie, Dolly, etc, etc

[@rosegosnell3774]

Kris was never in Vietnam. Read up on him.

[@Nieber100]

Kris was indeed a helicopter pilot, but in the National Guard.............he never served in Vietnam/

[@NoelCampbell-e2l]

RIP Kris Kristofferson October 2024.

[@thomasmyersnosal8036]

I was waitin for Kris to start wailin on his harp, but alas I'll just have to wail on my own harp as I perform this song tonight on Broadway Street, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. It took me a long time until I finally heard this song, and ever since it remains for me as one of my all time favorites

[@danielmcgee2879]

+thomas myers nosal I know I am a Year late, but, Best of luck to you in your Musical venture....And great choice of song.

[@jimjones3605]

Ya'll going to hate my face for this one, but while this is a great version, Emmylou Harris and Dave Mathews is my fav.

[@cheneyxxxxx]

great!!!!!

[@arisienltd8755]

Just a classic song !! Two great Talents :)

[@liloldlady1]

I think this was around this time that Bono asked Cash to sing "The Wanderer" for the Zooropa album. It was the start of Cash's great resurrection. Soon after this, he met with Rick Rubin and the rest is history.

[@anelladambrosio2513]

Amo questa canzone! Anche la versione di Bruce Springsteen e favolosa! 😍😍🤩🤩😘😘🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶💘♥️💔💯💯💯💯

[@pettypettywoodchuck2]

I always liked the Dave Matthews version of this as well. Showed that to my grandpa one time a few years ago and he looked like he was going to vomit during it. I wasn't surprise since he loves Johnny Cash so much and hearing anyone else sing that is like his blasphemy.

[@niky7348]

Ormai leggende!

[@mrbobevans]

Definitely one of the top 10 greatest country songs.

[@music4onlyu]

Great vid T! Had this album of Johnny as well. Nice duet with Kris.

[@GILLEBRATH]

NICE. I believe Lefty Frizell sang this song and sang it first. thank you .

[@charlescanterbury9762]

I'm not a big Cash fan, but this is a pretty good version of one of my favorite songs. Kris adds a lot to it. One other thing, to suggest that this a Cash song, is heresy, Lefty Frizzell owns this song, no one touches him on it.

[@biggestkkfan1506]

yes, this is not a Cash song. But not a Lefty Frizzell song either. As far as I know it was written by Marijohn Wilkin, the one who also wrote the beautiful One day at a time 😊 Have just googled, Danny Dill co-wrote it. She even wrote an answer song - that was new to me kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWfNaauggrtjppI

[@biggestkkfan1506]

it's interesting that Danny Dill added another verse to his recording of this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3jEc51qo6qoaq8

[@seanatteberry3686]

Actually, The Band does a great version. I like it better than Lefty.

[@marccohen4571]

I am with you Charles. Cash wrote very few of his hits and did a lot of covers. I think he is one of the most over-rated country stars ever. Merle Haggard was in a completely different category than Cash. And Lefty does own this song.

[@jcucch4603]

@@marccohen4571 Absolutely atrocious statement. He might not be in your top five country artists and that’s fine but he is an outlaw legend. Him and a select few redefined country. Very stupid statement.

[@mjmiller4u]

Dave Matthews did a great cover of this in one of his concerts that was released on DVD (Listener Supported)

[@MaynardGKrebs-tt1dd]

I love these guys/Highwaymen, but its not the best version of an old Irish tune.

[@Pluscount]

He left out the verse about not telling the judge he was in the arms of his best friend's wife. The song doesn't really work without it.

[@ArmageddonSpeaking]

nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me

[@willgibson9718]

With drums

[@hannejeppesen1809]

This is a very good version, but in my book no one tops Rick Danko of The Band's version.

[@moonlanding-69]

Johnny's face is thin here...he had a drug relapse........who's guess he's be gone in 2003 (Graves disease)

[@msuddie1237]

@Mightymole he is thin here because just before this his jaw had been wired shut from one of the many surgeries he had where they tried to fix his broken jaw and the associated nerve problem in his jaw - he lost a lot of weight during this time as he could only take in liquids. Also, Johnny Cash did not have Graves Disease - if you do your research you will find out that he was finally diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy (after being previously misdiagnosed with both Shy Draeger Syndrome and Parkinsons) and he was diabetic- he died from complications resulting from his diabetes.

[@M1nglew00d]

Of course i'm not d\so honourably stupid (or would one say stupidly honourable?) I would have told the judge I was in the arms of my best friend's wife. Might have lost a lover and a best friend, but the lady in the long black veil would not have to roam around missing her sleep. ;) It was quite likely that the slayer was the woman's husband, knowing he'd get away with his crime, counting on the guilty behaviour of his wife and best friend.

[@janettaschuch3591]

Lad, the Irish are far less complicated than your plot. We can be blessed with silence...a gift of loyalty.
