i shot a man in reno just to watch::I started to pay attention to the song and suddenly i recognized it: johnny cash!
I like johnny cash but i only know a few of his songs by name.
And i started to think again about my post of a few days ago about.
I think this is one of the most down to earth examples of how you can take a song and give it your own interpretation.
I am sure a blues savvy would not be part of the target group for this song, i guess this is more of a way to bring older songs to new public, but it does the trick very well.
What do you think?
Can this be considered a way of being original in blues?
Ps: i know this is not blues, but it works on similar basis.
