Was in a jail late yesterday talking to a guy about how life in prison is better than suicide.

Listened to I Hung My Head a little bit ago due to this thread. Heavy.

Try "The Wall" or "Dark As A Dungeon"

I'm more inclined to think he just punched a guy in Carson City.

I can't say I always loved Johnny Cash's music. It was just always kind of on as background music but never in focus for me growing up. In fact, the first time I really recall hearing "Ring of Fire" was a cover by a friend's punk band when I was a teenager. The second time I heard it was Social D's version. Johnny was third.

I've since grown to love most of his catalog. In that spirit, what's your favorite Johnny Cash song? Here's mine:

Tennnesee Flat Top Box

I prefer $100 bills.

For those with young kids, he put out a children's album with some real bangers: Nasty Dan, One and One Make Two, I Got a Boy and His Name Is John, etc

The only counting song you need.

He never tried to cover or explain away the awful things he did.

Folsom is probably my favorite but I love a lot of Cash tunes, both his own and covers.
Cocaine Blues is fun. Jackson is top notch. Ballad of a a Teenage Queen and Big River are always enjoyable. Sunday Morning Coming Down and Give My Love To Rose both make my chest ache. Cash is considered a big star but underrated.
