NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) — Country music legend Johnny Cash died early Friday of complications from diabetes at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, hospital spokeswoman Nicole Bates said. He was 71.

Cash was sent home Monday from Baptist after a week’s stay for a stomach condition, according to his official Web site. Bates said he was sent home to „rest and recover.“

His family was with him when he died Friday morning at 2 a.m. (3 a.m. EDT), she said.

Cash had suffered for several years from autonomic neuropathy, a diabetes-related disorder that attacks the nervous system in much the same way that Parkinson’s disease does.

John R. Cash, the sharecropper’s son from Kingsland, Arkansas, sang with Elvis and Bob Dylan, hosted his own TV show, played for presidents and prisoners during his career that spanned almost 50 years.

Cash was early to realize the blurred lines between country, folk and rock and roll. He was one of Sun Records‘ early signings, and laid down several groundbreaking sides with the Memphis, Tennessee, label, including „Cry, Cry, Cry“ and „I Walk the Line.“

Later, refusing to be pigeonholed, he recorded songs by Bob Dylan, leading to a duet on Dylan’s 1969 „Nashville Skyline“ album. On his television show, which ran from 1969 to 1971, he went well beyond Nashville, providing appearances for such divergent artists as Ray Charles and Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Linda Ronstadt.

hole diesen thread hoch , weil es hier passender ist , mal ganz blöd zu fragen : welche der frühen alben könnt ihr mir denn empfehlen ?

(den threadtitel kann ich leider auch nicht berichtigen)

@kink
alte original alben sind kaum zu bekommen.
aber die cd boxen von bear-family (man in black vol1 1954-58!) sind sehr gut & leider auch teuer

also zumindest „The Fabulous…“ , „Songs of our soil“ , „Ride this train“ , „I walk the line“ , „Bitter tears“ , „Orange blossom special“ und „Ballads of the true west“ und noch die ein oder andere hab ich gesehen.

Lesen!! Das ist ein Befehl!

Ach sagt mal, kann nicht endlich mal jemand den Thread Titel berichtigen ? Sieht irgendwie gemein aus …

Gerrit könnte es wohl auch, aber der hat wahrscheinlich wirklich wichtigeres zu tun :D
