A Girl Named Johnny Cash and Other Tribute Songs (Import)
A Girl Named Johnny Cash and Other Tribute Songs (Import)
Leave it to Germany’s Bear Family imprint to come up with a collection of songs by country artists about other country artists. This would never happen in the 21st century -- Nashville wouldn’t let it. In more innocent times, songs like this were part of country’s novelty scene and were valued as radio singles. One selection here, Merle Haggard's “Leonard” (about his friend and mentor Tommy Collins), scored a place in the Top Ten of the country charts. Gordon Terry's late-'60s “Ballad of J.C.,” (for Johnny Cash) performed to the tune of Jimmie Driftwood's “Battle of New Orleans” earned him a performance spot on Cash’s television show. Cash inspired the most tunes on this collection, having no less than four tracks that have him as the subject. Other notable tunes here include Charlie Rich's brilliant “Gentleman Jim,” (written for Jim Reeves), Rudy Thacker's terrific “Ballad of Johnny Horton,” and a number of tunes by Stoney Edwards for various historical country figures including Cash, the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Roy Acuff, Bob Wills, Haggard, Red Foley, Hank Williams, and Bill Monroe. Lefty Frizzell also inspired a couple including “Goodbye Lefty” by Haggard. Ernest Tubb's wonderful “Hank It Will Never Be the Same Without You” is also here. Most of these tunes were recorded in the '60s, though a couple are of ‘50s vintage. The liner notes are excellent, as is the sound quality, making this a stellar collection for fans of country novelty records. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi

Johnny Cash is a Friend of Mine
Johnny Cash is a Friend of Mine
Rosanne Cash Says 'I have wonderful memories of my dad's decades-long friendship with the wonderful Henry Vaccaro, and his book vividly brought them back to life. Henry's conversational tone and crystal clear recollections make 'Johnny Cash is a Friend of Mine' instantly engaging. Johnny Cash is a Friend of Mine by Henry Vaccaro Chronicles a NJ businessman's 30 year friendship with Johnny Cash, jam packed with over a 200 never before seen photos and behind the scenes anecdotes, Johnny Cash is a Friend of Mine provides a glimpse into this legendary private national treasure of man we know as the Man in Black. Even though it has been almost ten years since the great mans death, Johnny Cash lives on in American music legend as if he were still here, his guitar slung over his back, walking down a lonesome highway somewhere in our collective imaginations. If nothing else, thanks to his long and prolific career, that boom chicka boom sound still rings out from jukeboxes and stages across the land, and will for hundreds of years to come. But while many movies and books and interviews talk about the star, few that I've read talk about the man himself or at least, not the way I knew him. My book, Johnny Cash is a Friend of Mine, details my 30-year friendship with one of the best men I've ever known. I was not one of Johnny's musically skilled friends or one of his celebrity friends, but yet I was often there on the bus or backstage in his dressing room. I was even, on one of the saddest days of my life, an honorary pallbearer at his funeral. Johnny and I took our families to Bimini for vacations, and we spent many an evening gorging on Italian food in my hometown of Asbury Park, NJ. We even bought a hotel together there. Johnny and June loved Asbury Park so much they made it part time home. Via a little bit of my own life story as a successful New Jersey businessman, building contractor and co-founder and Chairman of the Board of the Kramer Guitar Company, this book tells about that other side of Johnny, the side that wasn't constantly tanned and weathered by the limelight that always (and rightly) shone upon him. Because we all know how talented Johnny was musically and professionally, this book instead tells of his quiet side, his helpful side, his humanitarian side. It talks of his partnership with June, an amazing person in her own right, and it details the rare times in his hard-working life when he got a chance to slow down and catch a breath. Complete with pictures and anecdotes, Johnny Cash is a Friend of Mine was almost as fun to compile as it was to be with the Man in Black himself. For those of us who knew him personally, this book will create a lot of, Oh yeah! I remember that!?-moments, and for those who didn't have the honor and pleasure, this book will help you get to know him.
