When the man comes around

 

Johnny Cash had a way of shaving away all the unnecessary surroundings and get to the heart of the matter.

There are so many recordings that tell the story of his life as a solo voice.

 Wayfaring stranger: His voice, oh my, his voice.  No one can duplicate or match his voice.

When the Man comes around...

Johnny Cash sang to every person, meeting them with his voice and welcoming them to sit down and listen.  

One Piece at a Time

 Johnny Cash is a headliner at our house. He was a talented man, one who gave rather than take.

That a given, what do most people listen to when his music appears.? Here are two of mine:

One piece at a time

Our oldest granddaughter will be 17 in a month or two. There is much talking and planning about a car for sometime soon. Her father would love putting a car like this together. Mommy? Not so much.

And then there is this song: Hurt. This is almost painful to hear and understand. Johnny Cash is old, and the lines on his face tell a lot.  The voice says more.

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails

When the leaders of Nine inches nails were blown away by his interpretation, they said  "It's his song now".

Just a side note about  One Piece at a Time.  One fellow blogger and friend loves vintage vehicles, http://shipslog-jack.blogspot.com/  He is a good storyteller. Look him up!
