Listening To The Man In Black

Really gonna miss this guy. I love Johnny Cash. Some country singers have the most distinctive voices, their heads might have been whittled out of wood like a handmade guitar the way the sounds resonate through them. Johnny Cash had this terrific flat, dry, dull, but slightly getting-over-a-cold nasal sound that reverberated with family, friends, prison cells, boxcars, fields to be harvested, women, wine, another hand of cards to be dealt, love of children, love of country, hatred of injustice. I will miss him..
