I've loved Johnny Cash since I was very little and I found Merle a couple years ago, this video is an absolute beauty to me and I am 13 Cash wasn't even alive when I was born and Haggard wasn't here very long after I was born. It's amazing to me how anybody of all ages can and love some of these things.

These songs were about real life, and the singers wrote from experience and what they learned from others. Life changes less than many people think - especially in how it affects those who live through these kinds of events.

The first verse and chorus, Johnny sings (approximately) an octave below Merle, then they change keys so Johnny can sing the melody higher, while Merle sings the high harmony (above Johnny). There's a female harmony too -- I guess the band is playing off-screen.

@berndtherrenvolk1951 Жыл бұрын
When they play the first verse and chorus, you can see their guitar fingering is in the key of G, but because they both have capos at the second fret, the song actually comes out in the key of A. As they start the second verse, Johnny starts fingering in the key of C, but due to the capos we're hearing key of D. In the first verse and chorus, Merle and Johnny both sing in the key of A (matching the capo'ed guitars), but John's vocal A is a full octave below Merle's vocal A. As the second verse begins, the two capo'ed guitars change to key of D. Johnny's vocal matches that guitar D by going up five half-steps higher than the A than he was singing earlier. In the final chorus, Johnny stays in that D and Merle joins in, but Merle sings the chorus in the key of F#, which is the harmony third above John's melody line in D. So even though Merle is singing a tight high harmony at this point, he's still singing well lower than he did (key of A) when he sang the melody in the first verse. It's all relative. And beautiful. If you want to see really beautiful harmony work, find when Lind Rondstadt was on Johnny' show. She and John sing "I Never Will Marry." In the parts where John sings lead, Linda sing a perfect high harmony that is stunningly beautiful.

I remember visiting San Quinten back on October 1968 and its only recently that I have learned that Merle was then a prisoner there and only months later Johnny Cash Sang there/ How ironic that I, a British ex-prisoner should have that experience and spend a lifetime ministering to prisoners on three continents and love the music of these two giants of Country. Funny old world isn't it.

Your comment about Johnny being representative of a time “when America was overwhelmingly white” is not a comment that reflects who or what Johnny Cash stood for as either a person or a musician. Johnny Cash was open to all races of people, embraced and supported all races of people and was very outspoken about his disliked for groups that supported white supremacy and racial division. Johnny spoke for the poor, regardless of their race.
