British guitarist reacts to two country LEGENDS! Johnny Cash and Roy Clark!

[@Durwood71]

Another thing about Johnny Cash is that he was never afraid to stand back and let another performer take the spotlight.

[@penelopelopez8296]

Cash was a really cool guy.

[@neilbush9873]

That is a wonderfull part of his personalityp

[@mindya1799]

One more thing they had in common...

[@Getsitdone]

Johnny had to stop back here, Roy Clark is heads and shoulders above him on instruments.

[@brentdykgraaf184]

Watched Jonny smiling in back ground... let Roy take it...soo cool.

[@cryptocrush-823]

Roy Clark is like a kid who received the most awesome gift for Christmas and can’t wait to share it with everyone. He almost looks surprised he can even play some of the stuff he does. Such a happy guy!

[@survivrs]

He was SO GOOD!!!!!

[@sizzlechestmcmurphy4365]

That's one of the best descriptions of Roy Clark's performance I've ever heard. Pure fun and joy from Roy.

[@timgallagher1041]

Two legends Roy tends to get less attention for some reason But here he steals the show -and he never even opened up on guitar like everyone knows he can

[@gregorytate1412]

Roy just makes you HAPPY!

[@marksheetz9230]

If you get a chance, listen to him playing,Lara's theme (from Dr Zhivago), on a 12-string electric it is awesome!

[@giusepperesponte8077]

Roy Clark is quickly becoming my hero, the guy had infinite musical talent, great sense of humor, and just the type of guy you’d like to have as a friend.

[@SuperReznative]

Roy, thank-you, generations after.. God's blessing

[@barbraprosper9065]

[@cleverty1959]

[@powers.cj.80]

The Carter Family influence on Johnny Cash was a beautiful thing. A. Carter left him his huge personal library in his will. That sparked a lifelong search for knowledge and deep dive into theology. Not only was he and June's relationship a romance for the history books, but it was spiritual. Thank goodness Rick Rueben took up producing Johnny after her death. Brought Johnny back during his ultimate pain. So bittersweet.

[@johnglielmi6428]

Roy absolutely loved playing! And he certainly wasn't afraid of showing that love on his face. It is so rare to see Johnny smile and having fun.

[@johnsmith7622]

I lived in a small farm town in Northeast Oklahoma.Roy bought a horse ranch a couple of miles to the west.He was often in town to pick up things at the lumber yard... or to eat at the ONE restaurant in town. Yeah... it is a small Mayberry kind of town. Main Street is one block long... and people just park in the certer of it. Anyway.... Roy was just as average a guy as anyone else in town... in his worn overalls... driving a pickup truck with a lot of hard miles on it. Where Roy was in NO WAY average... was the fact that ANY musical instrument that he took an intrest in... he worked and obsessed with it until he not only played it well... he MASTERED IT. We lost SO much... when we lost Roy.

[@shawnj1966]

Roy always seemed to me to be a very genuine person and not a persona on camera. Thank you for verifying my opinion of an amazing man!

[@Gutslinger]

I wonder what small town it was, because I'm from the area.

[@darlatidwell9995]

Sounds like a town near my house called Barnsdall, near Woolaroc Museum. Also, Clark Gable was born there. I'm sure it's somewhat near the town Roy lived. Old Indian Territory.

[@bcaye]

But at 85, with a 61 year marriage, 5 children and a 71 year successful career, I'm sure he had few regrets. We miss him, yes, but he earned his rest.

[@mickknight6963]

Did not know that, I'm down in Durant. Sure miss ole Roy! 🎸

[@patriciamccormick9321]

Roy Clark was one of the sweetest men to ever walk this earth. No one ever had a bad thing to say about him. Johnny obviously liked him.

[@glendagaskin151]

Cash won my heart because he was not greedy about helping the new talent to be heard. It’s such a blessing. We are in a spiritual battle. Good vs evil. God only lets a nation go so far and if we don’t repent and then He will judge. JESUS SAID REMEMBER LOTS WIFE. ABORTION IS MURDER AND WE CONTINUE TAKING THE INNOCENT. THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN NAME ONLY WILL CAUSE OUR NATION TO BE DESTROYED. THE ROT IS ON HIS PEOPLE. LOOK AT OUR MONEY. IT SAYS OPENLY “IN GOD WE TRUST “. He died on the cross for our sins.

[@aaronz9410]

Roy truly is one of the most unknown and underated guiatrist of all time. And truly a great comedian too. Truly he was a showman through and through.

[@aaronz9410]

On a side note I am very distantly related to Johnny Cash. While working on my family tree I found a common ancestor. Crazy that so many in my family have musical talent (the musical gene skipped me though, but I do have a good ear for good music, the technical aspect of it).

[@kittyhatfield5306]

Actually, Roy Clark was VERY well known for his ability to play any instrument with strings. He played all over the world, on TV in the US, concerts, had his own ensemble show (Hee Haw), and played with best musicians of the day. In fact, most of the time, he WAS the best musician of his time.

[@michaelnettles2570]

See the joy in Johnny's face in that last shot? It's good to see him having such a good time.

[@wingsofpegasus]

👍🙂

[@alansturgess1324]

Love the way Fil always shows such huge respect for musicians - this is especially true here with his comments about Roy and John. 11/10

[@Bladerunner41]

Roy not only lit up the audience with laughter and fun, he had Johnny smiling too. How could it be possible those two music legends wouldn't enjoy themselves when got together? That's what I call country music to a power of 10.1🙂

Johnny’s riveting voice and Roy’s joy in his talent with the guitar were a great combo.

[@orange70383]

Ritchie Blackmore once said to humble himself he'd watch Hee-Haw'

[@wingsofpegasus]

👍

[@markbouquet1316]

Ritchie and humility? Great player and spot on in isolated guitar tracks. But I've seen Rainbow so many times live and he didn't have a locking trem back then. I couldn't handle how out of tune he was playing. Dio made the shows worth going to for me. Then he gets on this kick where all the music he made "is crap." I saw Deep Purple summer of 2018 outside of Chicago. Steve Lukather, at least live was an upgrade.

[@pandorafox3944]

Wow!

[@helena51troy]

Mom loved Hee Haw, every week. Great musicians and corny country humor.

[@michaelnettles2570]

The way the band picks it up after Roy's done goofing off is something that would have totally escaped me. Good job!!!

[@wingsofpegasus]

👍☺

[@JoloraB]

Roy Clark was both an unparalleled virtuoso musician (not just "guitarist") and a fabulous entertainer and showman. He's in a class with Louis Armstrong and Doc Severinsen. WofP commented on how the band picked up on the vamping sections "on the spot." so to speak. But truth be told, Roy had been doing that song exactly that way for years, if not 10+. He used the thumb, music-stand, and boot sliding tricks at least as far back as the late 1950s when he appeared on the Jimmy Dean TV show. After a few years of this, he started saying (after the boot/shoe slide trick)): "That's getting harder to do every year!" Then after doing it on Cash's boot, he changes it to "I used to be able to do that one by myself!" My point is, it definitely WAS planned and rehearsed that way. Not the exact number of measures or repeats, but still... RIP Roy. We miss you. And kudos to young WofP for recognizing that there were/are guitarists outside of the rock genre!

[@pouncerlion4022]

What I just love to watch is the joy on Roy and Johnny's faces. It's just two performers so mastered in their craft that they could take time during a performance to elevate it to improvisational art while still delivering a great performance of the song as well. You're right about the backing band, the fact that the shenanigans going on at the front of the stage don't totally derail them speaks to their talent and skill at music.. all while laughing with the duo in front.

[@majhiggins]

Everybody, including a Country legend like Johnny Cash, had a wealth of respect for Roy Clark's musicianship and ability to just own an audience. Roy's playing with others was more like a magic show. He was just captivating and while he could have done stone-faced serious technical wizardry, he instead played the fool, only making his talent even more appreciated. A good annology was Donald O'Connor's dancing with Gene Kelley in Singing in the Rain. Gene Kelley was the classically handsome, widely revered dancer extraordinaire leading man while O'Connor was kind of a geeky, non-charismatic, comical sort of guy but when they danced side by side you realize that O'Connor was every bit the dance master that Gene Kelley was, if not more so.

[@marbleman52]

Kelly....Yes, Donald O'Connor...so over shadowed by Kelly and Astaire but just as talented as they were. I hope that he still made lots of money anyway.

[@Yesica1993]

That's a great comparison!

[@quicktastic]

Very nice. Roy was never going to sing like Johnny and Johnny was never going to play the guitar like Roy. A lot of mutual respect there. Johnny's performance on KK's Sunday Morning Coming Down was probably my favorite from him. Such a powerfully plaintive delivery. Amazing singer.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Amen!

[@StanleyRodgers]

I don't think I have ever seen Johnny Cash smile and laugh like that until now. So great! I remember enjoying Roy on Hee Haw with all of the other amazing players that made up that show. Man... sigh...

[@mtman2]

HEE HAW was truly dazzling in all its venues and vastly entertaining yet unrivaled - yet not given credit tho like folks from all walks of life wouldn't miss it from the penthouse to the cabins in the Mts...!

Something interesting about Johnny Cash. Cash, my Dad and I were all in military intelligence. Cash in the Air Force stationed in Germany in the 50s and Dad & I in the Army. They had the same jobs Morse code intercepts. I was a Morse code intercept in the 70s. Sometimes you would be given a line of letters by the cryptologists to look for when you were copying. Absolute gibberish. But, somehow they had meaning. So we paid attention. Johnny Cash was copying one night and the line came through. He called the cryptologist, asks what the line means and it turns out Johnny Cash was the first person in the free world that knew Joseph Stalin was dead. Yep, I have the message right here. People often say Cash's music had that train track rhythm to it. I always thought it was the rhythm of well sent Morse code.

[@MrJdsenior]

Super interesting...about the beat...yeah, not as clear cut now...except maybe the one that goes "I hear that train a commin' .." Stalin being dead was a good thing, he made Hitler look like an amateur when it came to killing his own people.

(1) Keith Richards and Johnny Cash are standing next to each other at the urinals in a recording studio and Keith looks over at Johnny and says, "Wait'll I tell my kids that I took a piss next to Johnny Cash". (2) Merle Haggard: "I remember that San Quentin performance". Johnny Cash: "I didn't know you were on that tour". Merle Haggard: "I was in the audience". (3) Johnny once went to Twisted Sister's dressing room to get Dee Snider's autograph for his son, who was a Metalhead. And that's why Johnny, Merle, and Keith are heroes to all of us who don't give a damn.

Two ultimate legends together and a treasure to watch them both. Shortly before Johnny died he recorded “Hurt” and Even Trent Reznor from nine inch nails has said when he heard Johnny Cash‘s cover of his song ‘Hurt’ for the first time felt “like someone kissing his girlfriend”. He also said that it matters much more to him than industry accolades like the Grammys.

I believe Trent said later that Hurt was no longer his song, that Johnny "owned it" after his cover of it. That is amazing for both of them.

[@ronaldhendricks3876]

So much can be said about these 2 men and this performance as well. With Johnny, you nailed what made him so amazing, that was his ability to speak to everyone through his music. Genre was irrelevant. When you hear a Johnny Cash song its as if you’re 5 years old again and you’re grandpa is telling you his life story or dropping pearls of wisdom on you. Very, very few singers ever get that gift. I also love the respect Johnny has for Roy Clark. He has no problem letting Roy be himself and perform this song as the showman he is. As for Roy, he’s possibly the most talented musician of all time. We’ve all heard,”Jack of all trades, master of none.” With Roy Clark its,”Master of whatever instrument was in his hands.” Too many people remember Roy for the showman that loved to put smiles on peoples faces and not the absolute force of nature that he was as a player. Absolute icons on that stage. Thank you for this breakdown!

I don’t think many of them were all about the money. Like doc Watson said he just needed to make a living. So I’m not surprised that Roy did that. Just good decent people. No people have millions and what do they do with it ?? Buy some 13 bedroom 10 bathroom in California somewhere. I know it’s their money and they can do what they want, but if there was more Roy’s around today maybe our country would t be getting ripped apart at the seams.

I never met Roy, but my dad had a few times....Roy was fishing buddies w/ some of the Tulsa Bass Club guys & could be found at the local fried catfish place near Ft Gibson Lake. Johnny Cash & Roy were both gentlemen, GREAT musicians & deserved every bit of recognition they got, and more. Thanks SOOooo much for sharing the talents of another musician that might go unnoticed by people that don't give Country or Gospel music a listen &/or the younger generations. Roy is also ONE of the influences of the way Garth Brooks handles his onstage persona, looking everyone in the eye & doing whatever needs to be done to make sure it's a GREAT show.

Johnny's voice today would never, ever get a shot in Nashville. Why?

Many younger people and those of the rock and roll persuasion may not realize that Roy Clark, when he flipped that guitar the way he did, was imitating the late, great, Bashful Brother Oswald, who played for Roy Acuff. Oz (as he was known) played a dubro and that's what Roy is imitating here. That weird laugh that Roy does is a dead giveaway as that was one of Oz's trademarks.

Roy did this same tune with Clarence Brown and nobody was expecting the slide-guitar trick so Brown jumped in to do the guitar part thinking Roy was done , but Roy looked around and only saw a plactic bottle he could use . The trick wasn't a Glass doing the solo , it was Roy's talent to use anything firm enough to imitate a slide guitar.

They keep the tempo looped in sync, waiting for the inprov to come back into the song, and then you have Roy having some fun with this guitar prowess, and then Johnny's great vocal storytelling. One of my all time favorite songs from Johnny cash is the Ragged Old Flag, the story and inspiration behind it is so moving, as Johnny did so well in nearly every song he sang, in his huge library of music. Johnny Cash would take you right along with him, like a fantastic novel, you can't put it down, and you don't want it to end.

Roy Clark was a gifted guitar player, song writer,singer and entertainer. God Bless him.

That's just magic. Folsom is such a dark and brooding song but Roy could make anyone laugh. Johnny Cash is such an interesting figure. I always feel like most musicians/artists do their greatest work as young people but he never stopped exploring and creating and made great work throughout his lifetime. The classic stuff was early but his best stuff was at the end. 'When the man comes around' is a timeless masterpiece.
