There is no question that rock and roll is connected with much of the country and western tradition. Thirteen years later, CashвЂ™s latest release - and one of his very best - is Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison (Columbia CS 9639) produced by Bob Johnston (also DylanвЂ™s producer) the only man at Columbia Records, according to Cash, who believed Cash that Folsom Prison was вЂњ the place to record an album live.вЂќ CashвЂ™s backing group includes Carl Perkins, the man who wrote вЂњBlues Suede Shoes.вЂќ His talent was obvious at an early age.ДЇinally, through the same label, Sun, which Elvis Presley first recorded on, Cash, in late 1955, came into his own. When he was five, CashвЂ™s family moved to the snake-infested delta farmland in Dyess, Arkansas, fifty miles from Memphis. Cash himself nearly died of malnutrition before his mother stole some goatsmilk to nurse him. Johnny Cash was born in a shack in Arkansas in a family totally hit by the Great Depression.

He sings with such soulfulness, that he can transform any lyric he touches, including the most blatantly sentimental from the country tradition. вЂњCountry music,вЂќ says Cash, вЂњis slow to jump on any trend, but weвЂ™ve been effected greatly by the sound of the Beatles and the lyric of Bob Dylan.вЂќД¬ashвЂ™s performance, his ability with a song, the intensity of his presence fully felt in his deep, luxurious voice, his passion, reaches - in precisely the same way as do Bob Dylan and Otis Redding - directly to the heart. They share the same tradition, they are good friends, and the work of each can tell you about the work of the other.Д¬ash has recorded a number of Dylan songs вЂњIt AinвЂ™t Me Babe,вЂќ вЂњMama YouвЂ™ve Been on My Mind,вЂќ and вЂњDonвЂ™t Think Twice ItвЂ™s Alright,вЂќ which tune he later set to his own words, вЂњUnderstand Your Man.вЂќ And Cash once wrote and recorded a song called вЂњHardin WouldnвЂ™t Run,вЂќ the story of the desperado John Wesley Hardin. They are both master singers, master story-tellers and master bluesmen. At the end of the Newport Folk Festival in 1964, Cash, who has just finished a compelling set of story-telling songs gave his guitar to Bob Dylan, the traditional country singerвЂ™s tribute to a fellow musician. Johnny Cash, more than any other contemporary performer, is meaningful in a rock and roll context. It explains a lot about where rock and roll is headed, musicially and spiritually. But there is something in it much deeper than fashion.Д¬ountry music has had a great hold on me for some time and, at the very least, I have had the opportunity of seeing both Flatt and Scruggs and Buck Owens and the Buckaroos in the last two months and in the last six months, seeing Johnny Cash twice. Soon it will become a rock style with the forthcoming release of a new Byrds album now being recorded in Nashville.

It is an idiom that is at the historical core of rock and roll (they called Elvis the вЂњrockabillyвЂќ) and has returned, with Bob DylanвЂs John Wesley Harding, to the spiritual core of contemporary rock and roll. For more than a year now, I have wanted to write something about country and western music.
