Johnny Cash, etc

The first time I ever heard Johnny Cash's music (I think) was in 2005, when the movie about his life, "Walk The Line," came out. I guess I would have been about 12? I liked his music then, but I've grown more and more fond of it as time goes by. "Ring of Fire" is one of the main songs in Tony Hawk Underground 2, which I used to play (a lot), and "A Boy Named Sue," was written by Shel Silverstein, a poet whose book "Where The Sidewalk Ends," I read many many times when I was little. Also, my friend Jacob's version of "Hurt" has become a staple song at my family campfires at Hornby Island every summer. Recently though, I've found that there is no better way to start your day than some good ol' Johnny Cash singing "Get Rhythm." Seriously.
Johnny Cash- Get Rhythm


And here are two other folksy-ish music I've been listening to lately:
Joy Kills Sorrow (I've mentioned these guys before, after I saw them at the Vancouver Folk Fest this summer. I can't help but bring them up again- their lead singer's voice is ridiculous)
Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk (These guys played at student dinner last week- I quite enjoyed them)
