Vince Gill & Luke Combs - One More Last Chance

Album Review: Johnny Cash - Songwriter

Given what they had to work with, co-producers John Carter Cash and David Ferguson probably did the best they could with Johnny Cash’s abandoned, 1993 album of original songs. That leaves the question as to why they decided to resurrect Songwriter more than 30 years after the fact, for, despite a latent classic in “Well Alright,” the posthumous LP is a weight on Cash’s legacy.

Songs such as “Hello out There” and “Drive On” are ethereal, with effects on Cash’s voice as he laments humanity’s failures and the Vietnam experience, respectively, and their production betrays their unfinished status. The Nashville Sound permeates the cheesy “I Love You Tonight” and “She Sang Sweet Baby James,” though the former is notable for being one of two Songwriter tracks to feature backing vocals from Cash’s former Highwaymen bandmate Waylon Jennings.

Other contributors include Dan Auerbach on “Spotlight,” Vince Gill on “Poor Valley Girl” and Marty Stuart on virtually everything. Despite the heavyweights’ good intentions, only the aforementioned “Well Alright,” a playful ditty about finding love in the laundromat driven by Cash’s signature boom-chuck-guitar, is a keeper.

The rest are worth borrowing for fans who want to check in on what Cash was up to just before the American Recordings albums came along.

I don't have space to fill out the meme template but here you go- Gen X Cat Mom's concert history.

Not gonna lie, it's not impressive. I spent most of my life being so broke that shows just weren't in the budget. Also, about half of the artists I would've liked to have seen in concert wouldn't come to Oklahoma City. The ones that did were just so pricey, or my mom wasn't okay with me going unaccompanied (the Cure came while I was in high school, and she was not a fan.) Once I got older, I was still pretty much perpetually broke.

1. FIRST CONCERT: Paul McCartney, Dallas TX 1990. My mom, my brother, mom's delightful friend Monica and I drove from Oklahoma City to Dallas and had an absolute blast. Mom was such a McCartney fangirl- one of her most endearing traits. I believe she saved for the whole trip for quite a while (we were POOR. Like, section 8 housing/food stamps/other welfare poor.)

2. LAST CONCERT: Outlaw Fest, Mansfield MA July 2024. Killer lineup- Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Bob Dylan, and Lukas Nelson filling in for Willie, who was sitting this one out on doctor's orders. Lukas held it down like a champ. Great show.

3. WORST CONCERT: Vince Gill, Oklahoma City OK 1994 (the music was fine, but I was so sick that I spent a lot of time in the bathroom. My mom was worried about me, but otherwise had a good time. (She loved Vince Gill, and I'm pretty sure she got the ticket for my brother who couldn't make it for some reason.)

4. LOUDEST CONCERT: New Kids On the Block, Oklahoma City OK 1991 (I remember nothing but the noise and being so overstimulated. I lost interest in NKOTB soon after, when I discovered the Cure and the B-52's.)

5. BEST CONCERT: They Might Be Giants, Lawrence KS 1997 (drove from OKC to Lawrence with a couple that I believe I met through the old IRC TMBG mailing list. Their names escape me, but they were so nice. I met Graham Maby- he was such a sweetheart. He offered us a hotel room since they were about to hit the road, but I don't think it was his to offer so we ended up at a different motel.)

6. SEEN THE MOST: I haven't seen any artist in concert more than once. I've had tickets to TMBG twice since 1997 (2015 in OKC and 2023 in Tulsa). Missed 2015 because my request for time off was denied (I lived 3 hours away at the time, this would've been an overnight trip, and my boss was a spiteful jerk). Missed 2023 due to illness.

7. MOST SURPRISING: the White Stripes (they were good but I wasn't sure how I felt about the opening act. Also, it was much more low key than I expected an act like the White Stripes to play- SRO, not all that well attended.)

8. HAPPY I GOT TO SEE: Willie Nelson, Outlaw Fest 2023 (Xfinity Center has rules about smoking in the venue but a lot of folks didn't seem too concerned about following them.)

9. WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN: the Monkees in the 80s. They came to Oklahoma City in 1987 but my mom just couldn't afford it. We were both sad tbh. (Again, we were super broke. Society was not kind to single moms back then. Not much seems to have changed tbh.)

10. NEXT CONCERT: They Might Be Giants, Boston, 12/14/2024 (I splurged on decent seats. I'm really looking forward to it.)

A snapshot of ’70s excess and the soundtrack to the comedown.

In early 1976, the Eagles released Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, a compilation that would spend the next half decade on the Billboard 200 and go on to become the biggest-selling album of the 20th century in the United States. But the band’s most popular, career-defining song was still months away: the title track to Hotel California, the record where the Eagles expunged any lingering trace of their country-rock roots and took up residence in the football stadiums of the world.

That shift can be largely attributed to the new kid in town: guitarist Joe Walsh, who added the exclamation point to Don Henley’s eerie narrative with one of the most dramatic guitar solos in the rock canon. That swagger spills over into the brontosaurus stomp of “Victim of Love” and the disco-fied “Life in the Fast Lane,” a—the?—definitive account of Hollywood hedonism. Hotel California is both a portrait of ’70s excess from behind the velvet rope and the soundtrack to the inevitable cruel comedown.

“There was some friction but that was all creative. After that, we achieved an amount of success beyond our wildest imagination, and there was no turning back.”

— Joe Walsh Eagles

I know your life On earth was troubled And only you could know the pain You weren't afraid to face the devil You were no stranger to the rain

Go rest high on that mountain Son your work on earth is done Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us We gathered 'round your grave to grieve Wish I could see the angels faces When they hear your sweet voice sing

Go rest high on that mountain Son your work on earth is done Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son

Go rest high on that mountain Son your work on earth is done Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son

Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son

Song Review: Johnny Cash - “Well Alright”

Johnny Cash wrote and recorded an LP’s worth of songs in 1993 and then shelved the thing. Now, it’s set to be released as Songwriter and if “Well Alright” is any indication, it’s about damn time.

Featuring Cash’s trademark boom-chuck guitar and baritone voice, it’s a whimsical number about turning laundry time into get-naked time.

I met her at the laundromat, she was washing extra hot/I said, ‘don’t you need a little help with that big load you got?’/she said ‘no,’ but did a double take and then she smiled and said, ‘I might’/as I rolled up my sleeves, I said to myself, ‘well alright, well alright,’ he sings.

Cash chuckles as he recounts the story and sings some do-do-dos in an uncharacteristically carefree manner. The song announces Songwriter’s June 28 arrival; it’ll feature appearances from Marty Stuart, who plays on “Well Alright,” Vince Gill, Dan Auerbach and Waylon Jennings.
