A couple of Johnny Cash classics:
The previous clip for Tennessee Flat Top Box is because I heard it in the background of some TV show I was watching a bit ago. It is a song I have always liked from the first time I heard it over 50 years ago...
Johnny's daughter, Roseanne Cash, had a rather strained relationship with her father, marked by lack of communication. In the late 80s, Roseanne recorded an album of classic country songs she had heard and liked and Tennessee Flat Top Box was one of the songs on the album; it was only after she recorded the song she found out the song was not an old standard, in public domain song, but had actually been written by her father, Johnny Cash. Her recording of the song caused her to take a greater interest in her father's works and the both of them came to reconcile because of it. When Johnny passed away to rejoin his beloved June Carter Cash, Roseanne sang the song at a memorial concert...
