I knew I had never heard a version by him but that didn't mean there wasn't. The thing is, he did actually live a lot of what he sang. Guess that's what makes it all seem so honest.
I was also raised up hearing his songs, my dad being from the same area at the same time as Cash. Cash was from Dias and my dad was from Egypt. Not even sure Egypt is on the map. They're both near Newport.
You haven't lived until you've heard Waylon Jennings [try] to sing HOTRS.
I dug Waylon but....it was *awful*....LOL!
