Here's a different take on Johnny Cash's signature song. I wanted to make it more blues-like than his version. So I made it a shuffle beat and added a blues-like riff at the end of each verse. And get a load of the train whistle!!
The pics are kinda blurry - it's not your eyesight it's the photographer.

Thanks for taking a listen

Good one Johnny, but you need to fix those pictures, playing and singing was fine.

Thanks EZ

Can't edit the video without losing the link, so I'll go for it better the next time.

Thanks EZ, X4, astrat, SS. That's just a bedroom turned into a 'studio' thru the magic of the internet!!

Also next time I won't let Johnny Drummer take the pics until he gets over the shakes (i.e., when it's four o'clock somewhere)

Great take Johnny. I love the sign Train Whistle propped up on the amp. Are you seeing how low you can go after the last one? You'll need to check your voice in for rehab soon - sounding good though. :claping:

Thanks Carol. That's a real 'train whistle' my wife got for me at a garage sale. Actually it sounds less like a train than my guitar!!
That's as low as I can sing, probably an octave above X4!!
