Artist: Johnny Cash
Genre: Country, Outlaw Country
I think that there's a strong possibility that Johnny Cash may be the one Country artist that everybody can agree that they like at least a little bit. I never really knew much about his life till a co worker made an offhand comment about Mr Cash's severe drug problems back in the day though. I then looked into that and found, not only this amazing song, but a lot of the dude's history.
Run ins with the law, lots of drug problems, and more run ins with the law led to an eventual change, but not before he set fire to a large chunk of forest in California killing 49 of the 53 endangered condors that lived there. His response? "I don't care about your damn yellow buzzards."
A real stand up guy, amirite?
He changed his ways though and cleaned up from drugs, but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy a song called Cocaine Blues, right?
Apologies for no music video here, we'll have to live without for today.
