streets of laredo



"This is Johnny Cash. He's a folk singer because he was born one, and because he loved the music of the stories of his country."

Johnny Cash sings Streets of Laredo and Lumberjack and tells his story.

Good find, Cinde. Also, that it's Johnny Cash earlier in his career. He was born in Arkansas--hardscrabble cotten-picking family, and his music comes from there.

In any case, this is worth looking at!
