raven_blesses's Full Review: The Fabulous Johnny Cash [Bonus Tracks] by Johnny ...
The Album
All songs have some sort of an acoustic guitar, as far as the instrumental aspect is concerned.
1.Run Softly, Blue River is an excellent example of a song about young couple done in a style which riding the line of being Rock or being Country. Run Softly, Blue River [Soft Spoken Chorus] then with Run Softly, Blue River [Johnny Cash with his awesome powerful voice]. Two lovers dream of kissing and dreaming together. The lady dreaming of getting married.
Performance 5*
Voice HAPPY
Coherent Yes
2.Frankie's Man, Johnny another young couple but this couple is separated for some reason or another. At a station he plays for a redhead and Frankie's sister is the redhead. Busted trying to cheat on his girlfriend by her sister. Johnny is funny; "Moral of this story is be good but carry a stick."
Performance 5*
Voice SHOCKED
Coherent Yes
3.That's All Over starts off with humming. This is a song about heart ache then finding someone new. Coming to realization that one person should not keep you down. Found someone better that brings more happiness, cheer, and will be around a long while.
Performance 4.5*
Voice SAD
Coherent Yes
4.Troubadour is about a person with passion to play the guitar and sing. This is an easy going song but is about a man that has lost his love to somebody else. People love the song and request that he play it again. The woman who broke the guy's heart is in the crowd and is the one who suffers the most (as explained in the song).
Performance 5*
Voice NARRATIVE
Coherent Yes
5.One More Ride is a fun little song about the mid-west along the prairie. Desire to travel on the Santa Fe RailRoad down to Mexico one more time. Good beats and rhythm for driving. The happy atmosphere of the open spaces and loving the natural environment.
Performance 5*
Voice HAPPY
Coherent Yes
6.That's Enough is about woman who is trying hold a man from getting on the right track. The man is a believer in God, Jesus, and the Lord. Talking about how good God has been for him in times of sickness and hard times.
Performance 5*
Voice FIRM
Coherent Yes
7.I Still Miss Someone is about feeling alone. Being in a transition period of missing the woman with blueeyes and can not get over the eyes of that particular lady. Still miss her arms around him.
Performance 4.5*
Voice SAD
Coherent Yes
8.Don't Take Your Guns To Town is about a mother begging her son not to bring his guns into town. The young man went to town for a drink. The son kept thinking of his mother saying "don't take your guns to town."
Performance 5*
Voice NARRATIVE
Coherent Yes
9.I'd Rather Die Young is about rather dying young than grow old alone. The particular man in this song is telling and begging the woman that he cares for her and would not hurt her. He also telling her he would hate to see her get hurt and that she is the only one he wants to be with.
Performance 5*
Voice SAD?
Coherent Yes
10.Pickin' Time is about harvest time. The father in spoke of in this story is thankful being able to keep his children fed. Praying that all the crops will be ok.
Performance 5*
Voice THANKFUL/CONCERNED
Coherent Yes
11.Shepherd Of My Heart is about God who is keeping a man's heart. The man is committing all of his self to God until he dies. I think that this is a song that people these days could learn from the aspect that it is important to trust your spouse.
Performance 4.5*
Voice PRAYER/THANKFUL
Coherent Yes
12.Supper Time is about waiting for supper. He is talking about how much he misses supper time being said by his mother. He is also inviting people to become saved by Jesus (or at least it sounds that way).
Performance 3.5*
Voice PREACHER
Coherent no
Album as a Whole
Performance 5*
The album is a great classic.
Album Cohesiveness
Seems that all of the songs seem to fall into place together because the most of the songs have a common theme of being thankful for making it throught the hard times.
Voice
Sounds similiar to that of John Wayne or simpy country western.
