For His Song Chicken In Black.

It has been told to me
that the “Chicken In Black” video was shot downtown Nashville; Johnny
Cash, said about the song that it was his way of revenge to Mercury for
the fact that the company didn't care about marketing Johnny Cash’s
material that had he recorded for Mercury.

Written By Johnny Cash, while Johnny Cash was an Air
Force recruit " "I Walk The Line" was composed as a pledge of devotion to
his wife, Vivian, Cash originally cut it as slow ballad, but, to appease his producer, Sam
Phillips, he later redid the song faster clip, closer to "Folsom Prison Blues"
Which he'd recorded earlier. It was the second version that was re;eased in 1956, becoming
Cash's first pop hit and a million-selling country smash.

Love
Coping with love is every
bit as perilous as defying the lord. “I Walk The line” one of his
first and most famous hits, a celebration of romance, but mostly it’s
about a guy willing himself to fidelity. Cash wrote it while on the road
in Texas, trying to steer clear of temptation. “I Keep a Close Watch On
this Heart Of mine” / “I Keep My Eyes Wide Open All The Time” He
sings.
“Ring Of Fire” a 1963
country tune festooned with Spanish horns, cast love as a variation of
Hell. The lesser-known but equally haunting “A little At A Time” a B
side from 1962, finds Cash pleading with a girl friend to break up with
him in manageable increments: “walk Away Slow Like You Don’t Want
To” / “I’ll Put Up A Fight But I’ll Be Alright” / “If You stop
Loving Me A Little At A Time.” On the solo acoustic “I tremble For
You” a previously unreleased track from 1967, Cash plays a suitor worn
out by an unsuccessful pursuit, a guy who treats “Shame Like An Old
Friend From Home that I Can Lean On.”
Fitting, the only false
notes to found in these 48 songs are the upbeat ones. “While I’ve Got
You On My Mind,” Cash is home watching a ballgame, feeling fine and
suddenly frisky. His wife, cooking blackberry jam in the kitchen, is about
to learn the meaning of afternoon delight. In the song, there is only one
thing on Cash’s mind. Which just isn’t his style.

Cash
started his career as a country singer in 1955 with Sun Records but
quit the Memphis label a few years later. Cash wanted to record gospel
songs, Sam Phillips, Sun’s founder didn’t think they would make
any money. That wasn’t the biggest business error Phillips made –
he’s the guy who sold Elvis Presley’s contract, after all – but
it was up there. Cash signed with Columbia and cut dozens of
best-selling gospel songs, most coated with a fine rockabilly lacquer.
The songs exalt Jesus ( It Was Jesus ) ( When He Comes ) or tell Bible
Stories ( Belshazzer ). And there’s plenty of talk about
consequences on. (What On Earth Will You Do), “For Heaven Sakes”.
Cash argues that anybody hoping to enter the pearly gates ought to be
prepared for a little work in this world. (Did You Feed The Poor In
Spirit And Befriend The Persecuted)? He asks. (Did You Show the Bound
How All The Chains Can Break)? Only the gravity of Cash’s vocals
rescues this dark portent from the tiny feel of a deathbed
conversation.

Murder Johnny
Cash has never served hard time. Aside from a few overnights in local jail
– most during his 60’s – era amphetamine addiction – he’s never
been behind bars, and the only prisons he’s seen from the inside are the
ones where he headlined as an entertainer. That’s always a shocks
Cash’s fans many whom “refuse to except the
nonfelonious version of me” He write in “Cash” his
autobiography which is understandable.
Anyone can claim, “He shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die” as
Cash does on “Folsom Prison Blues.” But only the Man In Black owns a
baritone steely and gothic enough to turn those words into a plausible
confession. Never mind that his greatest real-life transgression was
accidentally starting a forest fire on a
California wildlife refuge. This gift of all-purpose conviction
gleams throughout “Love, God, Love,” a three-album retrospective
Released May 23 2000. The concept here is divide Cash’s Career into a
trinity of sorts, with a “Love” disc for his romantic side a “God”
disc for his gospel career and a “Murder” CD containing hi greatest
hits, so to speak. This isn’t a best-of collection, (If it were, “A
Boy Named Sue” one of Cash’s cross over pop hits, would have been
included.) it is instead a summation and a character study though the
character it studies isn’t merely that of Johnny Cash. The singer is
obsessed by the notion that heart of a man-and his antiheroes are always
men-can be divided against itself: Capable of senseless criminality one
moment and minute and philandering the next. The Killers in Cash’s are
triggered-happy and erratic, and sometimes they think their victims had it
coming because they were double-dealing or cruel or just in wrong place in
the wrong time. But shooters buckle with guilt nearly as soon as a body
hits the ground. They pray a lot. They realize they deserve to be lock up.
“I know I had It coming” the narrator sings at the end of “Folsom”
while listening to a passing train from prison cell. As filmmaker Quentin
Tarantino states in liner notes the “Murder” disc it’s Cash’s
focus on remorse that separates his crime sprees from those of the
gangster rapper who, whether they realize it, owe a debt to country boy.
Unlike DMX or Big Pun, Bravado for it’s own sake doesn’t interest
Cash. He’s fascination by the aftermath of Bravado by moral agony and
shame. His role in defining the thug life is most obvious in the pair of
live albums he recorded during 60’s “At Folsom Prison” and “San
Quentin” which are pro-inmate their core. Part pf this affinity is
undoubtedly about image making and brand building, but it jibes perfectly
with his deeply liberal notion that even the shabbiest souls are capable
of regret and therefore deserve a shot at redemption. Which is at odds
with Cash’s hip hop progeny, who always sell themselves as hard core and
unsaved. That’s way rap, just beneath its asphalt surface, is music’s
most conservative genre; it adores the idea that a criminal and thinking
otherwise is stupid. And that’s way Cash deep humanity now seems a
little dated; it’s directly at odds with today’s Toss-away-the-key
approach to incarceration. On The “Murder” Cash also covers “Highway
Patrolman” by Bruce Springsteen, one of Cash’s more obvious musical
heirs. And there’s a live version of “Cocaine Blues” a classic about
a guy who “shot his baby down” and then ran, without success, from the
law
Delia’s Gone
The song “Delia” or at
least the early versions of the song, probably was heard in river towns
along the Mississippi. Also the song was heard along the Missouri River
towns during the 1840’s and the 1850’s. The original story tells that
Delia was a hooker and her boyfriend became jealous and murdered her in a
jealous rage. Some people condemn the song, as the song depicts violence.
As Delia’s boyfriend spends time in jail for her murder, he goes through
his own hell as he remembers her. During the era of this song's
assurgency, hanging was the outcome of most murder trials, guilty or not.
But down through the years the song was remembered as just a song and
nothing more. Johnny Cash recorded the song “Delia’s Gone” twice,
the first time on his 1962 LP “The Sound Of Johnny Cash.” Then again
he recorded it on his 1994 album “Cash” on the American Records label.
