Johnny Cash - Ain't No Grave


Artist:  Johnny Cash
Genre:  Outlaw Country

I know I posted Mr Cash kinda recently, but I was listening to a totally unrelated song the other day and it made me think of this.  I figure it's not a bad plan though cause I like the song and as usual, that's what counts.

I'm gonna use this post to promote my social media platforms though real quick.

I've got a Facebook Page which is a nifty little way to keep up with this.  I currently only post links to these posts, but someday I plan on doing more there since, ya know, I can.

Also something I'm kinda proud of is my gigantic freaking Spotify playlist.  It's got every song I've posted for the most part.  There's a couple missing because they just aren't on Spotify, but that's ok.  It's a rather decent playlist though, not too bad to shuffle.

That's all guys, see ya tomorrow.

Oh, I've got a personal Twitter you can follow.  It's mostly either me being all emo or retweeting memes that don't even make sense to me half the time.

Ok, that's it for real.  Tomorrow will not be all self promotion, it'll be a real post again, haha

A to Z Challenge: J is for Johnny Cash


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.

Willie Nelson - On The Road Again


Artist:  Willie Nelson
Genre:  Outlaw Country

I just heard that the American Flag, Girl Scout Cookies, and Willie Nelson were the 3 pillars of being American, so here's a Willie Nelson song.

I don't listen to Mr Willie, but I'm sure you all will enjoy this as much as I kinda am.  I think I've probably heard this song before honestly, cause I know I've heard of it at the very least.
