Guide Review - Ragged Old Flag - Johnny Cash
While many know Johnny Cash as a great interpreter of songs, he also is a great writer. "Ragged Old Flag" was the first record that had only songs written by him (June Carter Cash co-wrote "I'm A Worried Man."
The CD is great bunch of Cash country songs, backed only by Carl Perkins, Ray Edenton and Larry McCoy with vocal help by The Oak Ridge Boys and some banjo from Earl Scruggs on the title track.
If you are a fan of Johnny Cash, you need to have this album. If you're a new fan, this is a nice collection that showcases Cash's dynamic songwriting.
