The Johnny Cash TV Show Podcast Episode 3
On January - 22 - 2008
Between 1969 and 1971, Johnny Cash was at the height of his fame. ABC wanted him on their network, and gave him full creative control. Bob Hilburn and Cash’s son, John Carter Cash, wonder which of today’s artists would have the clout with TV programmers to book the artists featured in this episode - Waylon Jennings, Ray Charles, Derek & the Dominoes, Carl Perkins, and even James Taylor’s first national TV performance. Marty Stuart adds why all of those artists, regardless of genre, were also big Johnny Cash fans.

The Johnny Cash TV Show Podcast Episode 2
On January - 15 - 2008
“The Johnny Cash Show” was a TV variety show in the purest sense. Cash handpicked the show’s guests, and never limited his choices to any genre. His daughter, Rosanne Cash, tells us how the program was an extension of her father’s diverse interests. Music director, Bill Walker, and journalist Bob Hilburn recall Cash’s determination to feature the latest talent alongside traditional gospel and folk tales. Performances by Joni Mitchell, Tammy Wynette, Kris Kristofferson, the Carter Family, Carl Perkins and Louis Armstrong demonstrate the breadth of Cash’s favorites at the time.
