johnny cash


itunes are promoting 'the world of johnny cash' here.
they say they're not just a doing a greatest hits thing, but have included playlists that reveal the musical roots of his sound, and of those who have been influenced by him.

but if you want to see something stunning, recorded not long before his death, check this out - be sure and put the headphones on! (thanks to bree for the reference).

I know I'm a big girl but that is one of the most powerful filmclips - it makes me cry just thinking about it...

Especially the line 'you can have it all, my empire of dirt' when he's pouring the wine on the table - it's something in his eyes...

I think when you know a little about his life (I watched a documentary on him a few years ago) its so poinant...
