You know, Country & Western!
This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Last Cash post of the day - Hurt
Quite a few people said this was one of their favorite songs. An interesting choice - speaks a little to newness vs depth. Not necessarily classic, but for someone who did his fair share of living and probably lost good souls to addiction (himself and family included), it speaks volumes.
Johnny Cash - There You Go
Johnny Cash - Rusty Cage
Johnny Cash - The Ballad of Ira Hayes

Porter Wagoner - Committed to Parkview
Don’t ask me why or how this is a fact, but Porter Wagoner was sent to Parkview Hospital today in 1966 to recover from “exhaustion”. Based on the song that Johnny Cash wrote about it and Porter’s intro in the video, it doesn’t sound like a terrific place, though I doubt most “mental health” facilities in the 60s were.
“In 1966 his doctor admitted him to Parkview, a former Nashville psychiatric hospital. His friend Johnny Cash later wrote a song called “Committed to Parkview” that was pitched to Wagoner in a roundabout way.
I was just wore out,” Wagoner says. “My doctor said the thing you must do is check yourself in somewhere where you can get rest. So he checked me in at Parkview and I think I stayed eight or 10 weeks. I don’t know how many. But when I came out I was well.” (via)
Just checked out of the library.
