Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristopherson To Headline Johnny Cash Heritage Festival Concert

...  A symposium will take place October 19 th and 20 th, and the music portion of the festival will be held on Saturday, October 21 st.  Johnny Cash’s oldest daughter Rosanne says it is appropriate that the festival and the music be held at the location where the Cash family moved during the New Deal Era.  Rosanne says the cotton fields that surround the home are perfect for the concert, because the land was an inspiration for much of her dad’s music. "The Sunken Lands provided the kind of work ethic that he took with him his whole life," said Cash.  "He didn't romanticize picking cotton, but he always would talk about what that land meant to him and what Dyess mean to him.". The Dyess Colony was created in 1934 as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal to aid the nation’s recovery from the Great Depression.  Cash explains how it impacted the families who lived there. "The Cash family moved there in 1935 as part of the New Deal," said Cash. "The New Deal saved the 500 ...

Portsmouth High Grad Plays Johnny Cash In New Tv Series

... Mr. Johnny Cash. “Sun Records,” based on the Tony Award-winning musical, “Million Dollar Quartet,” gives viewers a look at four now-iconic musicians’ rise to popularity during the 1950 s. In addition to Fonteyne, the show stars Drake Milligan as Elvis Presley, Christian Lees as Jerry Lee Lewis, Dustin Ingram as Carl Perkins, and Chad Michael Murray as Sam Phillips, the man who brought these young musicians together on the fateful day of Dec. 4, 1956, to record one of the most inimitable performances in rock-and-roll history. Having already been immersed in the Hollywood scene through his previous roles on “i Carly,” “Melissa & Joey,” and “Masters of Sex,” Fonteyne was familiar with professional acting, which helped prepare him for his first audition in 2016 to play Cash. He also, fortuitously, had made a new year’s resolution that year to finally fix his broken guitar and force himself to practice an hour every day. These experiences, along with a lot of research watching old interviews and listening to many Johnny Cash albums, landed Fonteyne the part. “I thought it was a bad audition,” Fonteyne said of how he felt after his first meeting with the ...

Slurry And Whiskey

... not the writing itself. That's not to say there aren't moments of genuine poetry here. At his best, Cash reads like a down-home Renaissance lyricist, as in "Chinky Pin Hill", with its echoes of Christopher Marlowe's famous invitation, "Come live with me and be my love / And we will all the pleasures prove". Come along with me and we. Will get away from it all. We'll go through the mountains past. The shining waterfall. John Donne might have chuckled at the mordant humor that emerges in "I Wish You a Merry Christmas" through a series of curses for one who broke the speaker's heart: "I wish that you had choked on the glue / Of the goodbye letter you wrote" and "I hope you'll be committed / On the dawn that Christmas breaks." And in "Forever," there's something of Sir Philip Sidney's longing for artistic immortality. You tell me that I must perish. Like the flowers that I cherish…. But the trees that I planted. Still are young. The songs I sang. Will still be sung. Cash's subjects are various, if familiar from his songs: they include love of God, women, and gold; the misery of addiction; episodes of ...

Johnny Cash Festival Going Back To Singer's Arkansas Roots

... homes awaited the Cash family and 499 others in similar predicaments. They cleared the land of stumps left from trees cut decades before, drained swamps and planted crops on 20-40 acres, with promises of paying back the government as best they could.

Johnny Cash, Channeled Through Humble Harry At The Hermosa Saloon

... , Humble Harry. Johnny Cash, channeled through Humble Harry at the Hermosa Saloon. Humble Harry, and How He Came To Discover Johnny Cash, the Man in Black. As told to the Easy Reader prior to his performance this Friday at the Hermosa Saloon. At a young age I discovered that I could imitate sounds and voices. Before high school (Carson High) I decided that I wanted to be a DJ on the radio, and by the time I finished high school I wanted to be The Best In All The Land. I spent a lot of time hanging out at 94.7 KMET with music director Jack Snyder, learning every production roll (for vinyl and reel-to-reel back then). I was raised on classic rock; Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, and ZZ Top are my favorites, but when I got to The Crossroads I took the safe route in life because I was afraid of Failure and Rejection. Years went by, and I learned Yer Gunna Fail and ...

5 Things You Didn't Know About Johnny Cash's 'folsom Prison Blues

... Cash scored a major hit with "Folsom Prison Blues" – twice. A Top Five single in 1956, "Folsom Prison Blues" returned to the country charts a dozen years later, this time as the lead track from At Folsom Prison.

Cash began performing "Folsom Prison Blues" for inmates in the late Fifties, more than a decade before At Folsom Prison's release. The occupants of a prison in Huntsville, Texas, gave Cash his first incarnated audience back in 1957. When rainy weather ruined his band's equipment, Cash finished the show solo. A country classic since the 1950 s, "Folsom Prison Blues" has made its way into countless genres. Dozens of artists, from Buckcherry to Everlast, have put their own ...
