Enjoy the Sound of the Living Marimbas Plus Voices
The songs in this album are musical trademarks of one of today’sfavorite singers, Johnny Cash. His popularity is in great partdue to his marvelous talent for storytelling, which extends into hismusic, and his lyrical eccentricity, which somehow communicateswith the underground and the establishment at the same time.
Reared in the poverty-infested delta region of Southwest Arkansas,Johnny Cash retains in his music a strong identification with thosewho are struggling against hard times and oppression. Hisown father rode the freights while seeking work to support the Cashfamily, and Johnny often commemorates the wandering, nowfading, railroad tradition in songs of his own composition and instandards like Ervin Rouse’s rousing Orange Blossom Special.
This collection of songs made famous by Johnny Cash is recorded bythe popular Living Marimbas. A rich choral interpretation is alsogiven on several selections. The sound of the marimbas, aninstrument which originated in Africa and was modifiedand popularized in Central America, lends an interesting variationto the music of Johnny Cash.
You can take Johnny’s music out of Nashville, but the basic elementsof his downhome country style remain. The songs have roots andthorns, tenderness and challenge, courage and cunning. Therustic quality, the sentimentality and the wit are allpart of the Johnny Cash mystique.
Prisons and the dehumanizing effects on existence within themoccupy a special concern for Johnny Cash, individualist. He has sungat Folsom Prison several times and has also performed at stateprisons in Arkansas, Kansas, Tennessee and Texas. Both hisFolsom Prison Blues and San Quentin have been best sellers, afact which attests to the universal popularity of Cash, since itobviously wasn’t the inmates alone who made all those purchasesor who have helped make the Johnny Cash televisionshow such a success!
June Carter, Johnny's bluegrass-singing wife, won a Grammy awardfor writing Ring of Fire, one of Johnny's biggest hits. Instrumentally,this song lends itself nicely to the resonance of the bouncingmarimba mallets.
A Boy Named Sue comes from the pen of satirist Shel Silverstein.This tremendous hit has earned countless laughs, as well as sales. It isreally quite innocent and has a certain charm under theboldness of its title.
Composer-arranger Leo Addeo has taken a robust but casualapproach to these warm, rugged and sometimes even whimsicalorchestrations. The pickin’ is easy and Johnny Cash fans will enjoyhearing the Living Marimbas Plus Voices blend currently familiaringredients of country grits with a musically soulful stew.
