The Legend Of Johnny Cash Karaoke
There is an interesting story behind the making of Karaoke Johnny Cash Tribute Songs. Johnny Cash was a very famous country singer who had huge hit records throughout his career. His hits included “Walk The Line” and “Folsom Prison Blues”. Many fans loved his music and his popularity grew as his career went on. He ended up having seven No. 1 hits in the country.
As his fame grew, people began to write about him in stories and articles. One of these stories centered around his songwriting and how he wrote many of his songs. It was revealed that Cash wrote many of his songs while on a break from rehab following a stint in jail for the armed robbery charge he was convicted of. Cash was so focused on coming out of prison that he was writing songs in a still fragile state of mind.
Cash’s fans were not satisfied with the direction he was taking his career. Some of his older songs did not receive any notice when they were re-recorded for his album. Cash had many hit singles throughout the 1980s including classics such as “Walk The Line” and” Chains” but many of his albums had hit singles that failed to gain any notice. Many of his loyal fans began to develop a dislike for Cash due to this trend.
In light of the criticism he received for the lack of attention his older songs received, Cash decided to create a tribute album to bring attention to his work. The result was the album titled: Remember When. This was an amazing album featuring many of Cash’s songs that had been recorded throughout his career but never released. The songs on this album were amazing including the classic “Blue Moon of Kentucky” and the cover art for the track “chain” from the Folsom Prison Blues album. Cash also included several songs that he created during the making of the classic “Blue Moon Of Kentucky.”
The success of Remember When caused Cash to create other similar projects such as a Christmas album, a kids’ album, and an antipolo album. Each one received little notice until the singles that were released in the late sixties and early seventies made those projects famous. Many of these singles have become classic songs and have been covered by many artists. One of these artists is Paul McCartney, who covered “Blue Moon Of Kentucky” on his White Room album. Other artists that have covered Cash songs include The Who, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, J.J. Johnson, and Eric Clapton.
Johnny Cash had a fan base that would go to karaoke shows all of the time. In the beginning, he would hire dancers to entertain the crowd. When he decided to take the microphone and sing his songs, he knew he had something that people would remember and appreciate. His voice is raw and spontaneous, which is easily recognized by his incredible vocal range and unique delivery of his notes.
