  • “Folsom Prison Blues” (Acoustic Rock Cover Song by Chris Moore) – The Laptop Sessions

    Sunday, November 18th, 2007

    By Chris Moore:

    I’ve always loved this Johnny Cash song; his songs often remind me of my grandfather and father and of my youth. That being said, no, I have never shot a man nor can I personally relate to this song. But, that being said, Jim was reminded today of another Johnny Cash performance that utilized the same chords, so thus there is a little surprise in the middle for all you Fusco-Moore fans out there…

Johnny Cash Acoustic Rock Cover Songs and Free mp3 Downloads

Many have said that it is the personality as much as the acoustic music of Johnny Cash that is responsible for his success. Truly, there are few performers whose cover songs of other songwriters’ material are more respected. In the late nineties and early years of the new millennium, it became a compliment for Johnny Cash to begin recording an acoustic cover of another music artist’s song. One of his most famous and best cover songs was his recording of Trent Reznor’s “Hurt.” The NiN songwriter was impressed and honored by the cover. Johnny Cash reached this status through his own recordings, to be sure – after all, he was responsible for the songwriting and recording of many classic acoustic songs, such as “I Walk the Line” and “Man in Black.” He took on that nickname, due to his constant black garb – black jacket, black pants, black boots. Along with his voice, that instantly recognizable deep tenor, his personality – his religious beliefs and his roles in westerns – Johnny Cash has become an American icon in addition to a successful songwriter and performer. His acoustic guitar music helped set the tone for a recent trend of music artists releasing new rock music that sounds minimalist. He was the first of many after him – Neil Diamond and Jakob Dylan to name a couple – to record with Rick Rubin as producer. It is with pleasure that the Laptop Sessions songwriters have recorded cover songs from his catalog.
