So it’s time for another edition of our series The New Standards. This show takes an in-depth look into songs that transcend genre, decade, and fads - songs that are monumental touchstones in our culture and society. On previous episodes we have covered Something by The Beatles, Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley, and The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.
Today is an absolute no-brainer… As we walk in the footsteps of The Man in Black… the great one… the incomparable Johnny Cash… and give you the story behind one of his most beloved songs ‘I Walk the Line. Stick around for an exclusive interview that will blow your mind on a story not well-known about this legend… So after being honorably discharged from the Air Force in 1954, Johnny Cash married his sweetheart Vivian Liberto. The two settled in Memphis, Tennessee where Johnny enrolled at the Keegan School of Broadcasting… aiming for a career in radio. While going to school, Cash also got a job selling appliances door-to-door. But it wasn’t a good match. Johnny was no slick salesman… and he didn’t have the heart to pressure clients into buying his wares.
Johnny would soon discover his calling thanks to his brother Roy. Roy worked at an Automotive Sales Garage and two of the mechanics there were novice musicians. Their names were Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant. Roy made some introductions and the three hit it off, deciding to put together a band… all of them playing acoustic guitar. But Cash soon realized that if they wanted to get anywhere, they had to diversify. So Luther took up the electric guitar and Marshall upright bass. And Cash stuck with rhythm guitar since he did most of the singing. After a few humble public performances, Cash set his mind on recording a record with Sam Phillips of Sun Records.
