I was about 6 or 7 years old riding in the car with my father when this song came on the AM radio. I will never forget that day. I’m 67 now. I thanked him for not naming me Sue.

He first preformed this song for the inmates at San Quinton. He's a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Great reaction

[ThistleAndSea]

Good one, Mugs! He could tell a story, couldn't he? Thanks for sharing this.

[LM-hbyn]

The tempo was faster and he talked a lot more in this version than in the original. And he ended it differently. You have to go find the original audio recording and listen to it.

[merlinathrawes]

This was one of Johnny's "fun" songs.

[donnaewe]

"One Piece At a Time" is a banger ;-) ❤ ty!

[North-Woods]

The live from Folsom Prison version is the best.

[jenniferhill]

I grew up on this music and I adore that you describe it as rap 🧡 I'm early in my hip-hop/rap education. That's how I discovered you. I'm learning we certainly have more in common than we know 🧡

[Lee.Freeman]

One of my favourite songs is a kid growing up in the 60s in the deep South of Australia. ☕️🦘 out.

[abeal]

It’s good shit. That’s what it’s called, brother.

[mikeplott]

Great Reaction 👍🙏💯😎🦾💪🏻🤷🏽🤷‍♂️It really Funny back in the day 😂😂

[kathybwell]

Johnny Cash’s songs have a way of bringing out all sorts of feelings, from humor to happy Too sad and deep. His delivery on this is kind of like rap I suppose. Love the way he goes from a sing-song talking delivery to a full singing voice. That man could sing anything!!

[lisarainbow]

This was much faster than the original, probably because the audience started clapping too fast, and he was forced to roll with it.

[Alison-he]

You want BADASS watch the LIVE from Folsom Prison! It's called STORY Country, Western and Blue Grass are all story telling . Blue Grass tends to be tragedy. The song You Are My Sunshine is Blue Grass most sing it as a lullabye to their child but it's actually originally a tragic tale. Try The Dead South - You Are My Sunshine ...chills. Great modern band from Canada they broke out with In Hell I'll be in Good Company.

I highly recommend you listen to the album version of the song. Sometimes live versions don't really do the songs justice because of all the background noise. :)

In Classic Country it was known as a recitation song. There are many of them. My favorite is Donna Fargo, "That was yesterday."
Then there's
Red Sovine
"Teddy Bear, "
"Phantom 309"
"Little Rosa"
Gitty up go."
C. W. McCall
"Convoy, "
"Classified, "
"Wolf creek pass, "
"Old home filler up & keep on truckin' cafe."
David Allen Cole
"The ride"
Tex Ritter
"The deck of cards"
Jimmy Dean
"Big Bad John"
That's just a few if you want to hear more.
A lot of truck driving & c.b. radio songs.

It was all called Country Western Music way back.. whatever the regional type.
The Western was Cowboys. The rap was Storytellin'.

[bluesrock]

The cadence of Johnny's vocals and the music arrangement makes this a Ballad.

[Athena-rh]

I love Johnny, he and Elvis are the best entertainers of all time time imo

[glassesgripper]

Some call it “spoken interlude” and some call it “spoken word”. You get another beautiful spoken interlude song in “Believe “ by Brooks and Dunn. Perfection!
