Notes: The
self penned liner notes concern Johnny meeting Ervin Rouse, the
man who wrote the eternal song "Orange Blossom Special". Along
with this Johnny sings three songs from the book of Bob Dylan,
the classic "Long Black Veil", a few originals and so on. The
man is in fine voice and his manner that of a man in control
of his sound and having a good time making music. If you don't
own any Cash and have a penchant for folk music of sorts, this
might be a good place to get comfortable with "the man in black".
The cover photo of Johnny atop a box car is a fine portrait of
a workin' guy hopping a lift. Whether it's to the next stop or
the next state we'll never know.
