Dang. I'm not a country music fan, but I am a Johnny Cash fan and that's one of my favorites, too.

I dunno if I already posted this in this thread or not, but... here goes a song that may be more "Southern Rock" than "Country"... or not:

The bougie pigs suppressed the verse about the wall and the sign, but it's not forgotten.

It's a shame that (and the American Suite) are pretty much all people remember of his work. Though people will be debating until the end of time how successful he was at evoking spirituals and native american melodies.

And it is legit "country," no less than Appalachian Spring is.

American country music is mostly grown out of Appalachian mountain music.
The English, Scotch, and Irish songs that immigrants brought with them.
Story songs, and Parlor music.
This genre would be called folk music now.

Here are a few example from the film "Songcatcher".
It's about a musicologist who visits Appalachia and discovers the mountain songs.

Probably the most famous version of Barbara Allen:

A lot of people think the song is called Barbry Allen due to how she pronounces it.
