6/26/2007 Dig Up The Roots

Today on the show, we focused on Johnny Cash and his musical family. Some great recordings of June Carter Cash and the Carter family from a recent release called 'Keep On The Sunny Side - June Carter Cash - Her Life In Music'. Joey, my son, brought in a sample of some of Mr Cash's later recordings that he likes: stripped down to a guitar and that craggled voice that transcends ages, like bedrock. We also featured the recent rerelease of the historic 'Live At San Quentin' recording that has the entire stage show, not just Johnny. In this we got to hear the Stattler Bros., Carl Perkins, June Carter and some of the surviving Carter family. Here and there were thrown in some random singers and players too.
