I will start by confessing that I have annoyed more people with my rendition of “Folsom Prison Blues” than the worst American Idol contestants have ever annoyed Simon Cowell.
In 1977, Johnny was asked to list the 10 Greatest Country Songs of all time. I do realize that some of you are already laughing and thinking to yourself that the phrase “Greatest Country Songs” is an oxymoron, so I won’t bore you with the entire list.
Artists like Hank Williams and Hank Snow made the list, but, ironically, 5 of the songs were by Johnny Cash! For the number 1 song, he listed, “I Walk the Line”.
To this day, I still love Johnny Cash, but I had no idea he had such an enormous ego!
