Well - when I read your Onzaine this morning, it was snowing outside. Just for 30 minutes - and it is all gone now. And with you - music always helps. There is a nice Internet radio station named Grolloo Radio, which is playing blues, country and Americana. Love to listen to them.
My dad is to "blame" though, for the knowledge and respect that I have for Johnny Cash and his music. I, for myself also love the music of Bobby Bare Sr - his next door neighbour in Hendersonville. Cash taught me a lot about American history.Albums like Bitter Tears, and Ride this Train for example. At Folsom Prison was my father's favourite until The Gospel Road came out. His last single in our country - Hurt (a cover from Nine Inch Nails) I find heart-wrenching though.
Your review makes me want to go on a tour through the US though, to visit (in)famous places that were sung by artists like Cash, Bare and the Eagles, to name a few. Again - well done!
There is no need to persuade me here - I had the opportunity to purchase the album in 2018 on CD. You wrote an excellent review. Cash tried to make a point here, showing people what has been done to the Native Americans through history, through these songs. It made me dig into the history behind the stories. In The Battle of Ira Hayes you can hear the bitterness in Cash his voice especially in this sentence: ...in the ditch where Ira died. I also love the story of Sequoyah, that inspired him to write in Cherokee. Not an easy language to learn though. Completely agree with your five star rating for this album, and you are getting a well deserved 5 star rating from me.
Wonderful story! My birthday was yesterday, and I share my birthday with King Harald of Norway, and Kim Coats. And in the summer I enjoy my own tree. Not a cherry but a plum tree. Enjoyed reading!
