Folsom Blues
Imus, this morning, was all worked up about this. And he’s right to be. A couple of weeks ago I was listening to a copy of the latest Johnny Cash tribute album. There’s a version of Folsom Prison Blues by Keb Mo on the CD.
The song is a long time favorite, and, I think, one of the best songs ever written. The original Cash version was recorded live, before an audience of inmates at the prison, and it featured the line, “I shot a man in Reno… just to watch him die.” It’s a story about taking stock, taking responsibility, and living with the consequences and regrets of one's life.
But apparently, Keb Mo didn’t want to sing that line, so the producers told him, feel free to change it. His line is, “They say I shot a man in Reno, but that was just a lie.” In this version the narrator is a victim of a vague conspiracy, not even a participant in his own story.
I’m surprised that someone connected with the making of this record didn’t make a stand on this. Obviously, it must be difficult to manage the egos of different artists when putting one of these projects together, but some things should be non-negotiable.
By the way, Johnny Cash has a new album out. Haven’t heard it, but will soon.
