I’ve been listening to Johnny Cash since I was a boy, I still remember the first time I heard “Teenage Queen”. I was in grade school and I am less than two weeks away from seventy. I also remember the first time I heard this amazing song on the radio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4oFrXx8ogI I was still a kid but I knew this was what it was all about. Nobody plays real country now because everybody old enough to have lived the life it was based on is either dead or too old to perform. I was born in ‘44 and the lifestyle that REAL country music grew out of was over by the time I finished high school. You will see nothing like it again, there will be performers who can imitate but there will be no more original music that really fits in the same category.
