Walk the Line

Just watched the movie with Joaguin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. I love country and western music but Johnny Cash was never on the top of my list ... I much preferred June Carter (but well after my Dolly)! I didn't realise that after 35 years together they died within months of each other. What a lovely film.

 

Cool filum

 

I enjoyed the film,one of the rare films I went to the cinema to see.
He is a legend,I have a lot of time for his work.
Here is one of the last songs he recorded just before he died,a hell of a poignant song.

HURT.

I have always LOVED Johnny Cash. Ever since I was a in the Oyster Bar as a teenager..
this takes me back.....

 

I was sat in the car when this came on the radio for the first time, got straight out, went into Woolworths & bought the album.

 

Country & Western, I don't get it

 

Your loss Freddy.........

 

Nice one Zigs,

I'm not a C&W fan, i'd like Johnny Cash no matter what his influences. Remember "The Goodies" take on Country music?

 

And a great character, too.

I love C&W, and bluegrass. Can't ever imagine it being fashionable, though, or was it cool for 5 minutes in about 1969, when Gram Parsons was doing his drug-soaked stuff?

Is this a recent film on general release?

 

Been out for a few years now.

 

I kind of like a bit of country, but must admit to not being that impressed by JC personally.

Dont mind a bit of the old stuff though, Patsy Cline.
Garth Brooks was a good one.
Alison Krauss etc.

Never could play a musical instrument so might be talking rubbish, but I think country music has some of the best musicians.
