Music Of Johnny Cash
Much of Cash's music echoed themes of sorrow, moral tribulation and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. Some of his most famous songs include “I Walk The Line”, “Ring of Fire”, “Get Rhythm”, and one of my favorites ,”Folsom Prison Blues.” The song I chose for the project was his cover of Soundgarden’s song “Rusty Cage.” To Johnny Cash, this song was him breaking free of his addictions to alcohol and drugs. Some of the lyrics include,”I’m gonna break my rusty cage and run.” This means that he is removing drugs and alcohol from his life and breaking away from those bad habits.
