When I was very, very young and first starting to sleep in my own bedroom, my dad would put a stack of Johhny Cash records on the floor model RCA stereo at night to keep me company.

I know exactly what you are saying Salamander. Later on in life, I listened more to The Who, Stones, Led Zeppelin, and yes, I admit it: Journey, Styx, and Boston. Then came the 80's, and MTV. Before I knew it, it was the 90's, and the occasional good band.

But I always remember that voice Cash had. My brother once called it "haunting."

Indeed.

"My brother once called it "haunting."

Absolutely.

Strange anecdotal analogy;

Probably my favorite song in the world is "House Of The Rising Sun".

Around the local pubs I'm infamous for requesting it from whatever bar band happens to be playing.

I grade the performance not by the musical/technical proficiency, per se, but whether the singer sings it "like he's lived it".

Johnny always sang it like he'd lived it.
