what does /mu/ think of this guy

Total corporate product to sell fake rebellion to bored postward suburbanites and then he ended his days forced to sing Rick Rubin's favorite songs at gunpoint.

At San Quentin [Columbia, 1969]
Much weaker than Folsom Prison or Greatest Hits, which is where to start if you're just getting into Cash. Only ten songs, one of which is performed twice. The other was written by Bob Dylan. C+

Nailed it fren kek

>>126799772
I like classic country more than his crap honestly guitars, Cadillacs isn't bad. And this is coming from a Kentuckyfag

>>126799738 (OP)
One of my favorite artists. Deserves all the praise he gets. Also his movie is the best musicians biopic that will ever be filmed.

>>126799779
I honestly cant stand johnny cash hence the name but i might give it shot one day.

>>126799813
So what you look for in music is their looks? Are you unironically gay? Genuinely curious but i’ll admit he's handsome which practically everyone was back in those days before microplastics and all that yummy stuff.

>>126799779
I think he's saying that back at that time especially Dylan covers were a popular, lazy way to pad out an album when you didn't have enough original material.

>>126799855
The green text is because Johnny Bartholomew Cash is the one speaking those words, not me, Anonymous.

>>126799843
Now that is crazy fren, Favorite? Just insane. How do you guys do it. Can’t really relate I guess.

I can see that but honestly don’t know, I don’t listen to much music from those times.

No Cash, No Jobs, No Hope

>The One On the Right Is The One On The Left
Good takedown of the Peter, Paul, and Mary crowd. Nobody likes being preached to at concerts.

>>126799754
This millennial hipster really has his craft down gotta hand it to him *tips fedora*

>>126800021
I dont get it zoomsplain it for me bro

>>126799902
Yes 100 percent, one of them. I grew up on him, my Paps would always play Cash. I think he has some of the best song ever written as well honestly. He isn't a good singer per say, but the emotion I hear carries the music. I don't know man, I just really really enjoy Johnny Cash.

>>126800333
Doesn't require explanation to be honest. Those who pretend not to understand why people enjoy one of the most popular, best selling, and widely regarded instances in a genre, and who has appealed to people who don't even like the genre, deserve no good faith responses. Why you like it on the most basic level requires no thought.

>>126800333
Every once in a while a little Johnny cash wouldn’t hurt but he is certainly not my go too. That is just not cool never letting you near the aux per se lol just kidding fren a little bit

>>126800165
25 years ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash and Steve Jobs

>>126800357
Oh so now we mention numbers in a positive light, guess /mu/ isnt feeling very contrarian and hipster today.

>>126800369
Lol i get it know thank you unc fuck that aids faggot though heard he was a big meanie

>>126800377
I don't speak for all of mu. I like Johnny Cash and think he is unambiguously important for country music, and popular music in general, for many reasons. It isn't complicated.

>>126800389
I guess his music is just to slow for me, almost puts me to sleep. But to each their own. One mans trash right? Also no one is forcing your opinion here fren this is just a discussion. We can agree to disagree.

>>126800410
I understand, but I think it's pretty obvious that explaining why you don't like something on that order of popularity (which most things don't reach) makes more sense than having to explain why you do.

>>126800389
A lot of people are on johnny side in this thread i aint gon lie wigga but fpbp

>>126800426
Sure sure. Already heard plenty of valid reasons in this thread. Don't need one more your two cents is appreciated

>>126800427
Okay but obviously it's just funny hyperbole. I think he should be given a pass for the Johnny Cash Show alone (which I suspect most people on this board have never seen or maybe even heard of), let alone his influence on genre.

>>126800457
You’re right i have never seen or heard of that, what was so special about it?

>>126799738 (OP)
His Custer diss track is hilarious

>well Custer split his men
>he won't do that again!

Many reasons but especially for the priceless recordings of country and folk, and some rock stuff, old timers, very new stuff, etc., at the end of the 60s and opening of the 70s. Like Seeger's Rainbow Quest, though somewhat less important in terms of footage (which reminds me, you should watch Pete's interview with June Carter and Johnny, who is fucked up beyond belief on pills), it prioritized songs, having the guests also perform duets and well loved old songs after performance of their popular songs, etc. For me personally, it recorded some of the greatest of all time at their absolute peak, like Mickey Newbury.

A little overrated. Wrote 3 good songs, and covered 1. Carried by producers and session musicians most of the time. Very good singer, but im not interested in getting deeper into the music.
