I know that JC was asked to play at the Rock and Roll Circus but beside that, have the stones ever had contact with JC? I mean jamming together, .....

Cash wise:

No Expectations was recorded in 1978 for the Jack Clement produced album, Gone Girl. None of the Stones appeared on it. The version is too fast, and Rick Rubin could have done a far better job with a slower version.

Stones-wise: Keith was influenced by Luther Perkins, and has mentioned how much he loved a Sun album of Cash's with a cover of Hank Williams' I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow.

A humorous story exists, also, of how Keith was at a urinal, prior to the rock n roll hall fame gig. Cash was adjacent, at the other urinal, and Keith burst into Loading Coal from 1960's Ride This Train. Keith did ask Cash to sing along, but he didn't, as he thought it odd to be duetting on Loading Coal at a urinal.

However, in 1968, at the time of the Rock n Roll Circus, Johnny Cash was recovering from his first major bout of amphetamine addiction. The Stones were not exactly models of sobriety at this point, and it could have caused problems for a recovering addict.

Was Cash familiar, music-wise, with the blues ? The answer to that was resoundingly yes. He did an early blues song called Walkin The Blues at his first Columbia session from 1958. He was also familiar with a Memphis record store called Home Of The Blues, hence one of his early Sun Hits. I also think Rufus Thomas was a proprietor of Home Of The Blues, the store. Cash also covered Vera Hall's Another Man Done Gone from 1963 on Blood, Sweat, & Tears, and I Got A Woman and What'd I Say from 1967's Carryin' On with June Carter. Unlike other country acts, Cash was no stranger to the blues, which would be the Sun influence.

Cash told the L.A. Times that he was nervous about his induction into the RnR Hall of Fame because he was a country music star, not a rock star. Would people think he didn't belong there? But then when Keith sang to Johnny at the urinal, Johnny relaxed. Keith made him feel he belonged there after all.

Thank you Tom!
Cash is still so good to listen to. And he was such a nice man.

Cash was such a great one. His music made mé love the type of soulish outlaw c&w. It gave me hope that country music could be good. I started learning country in the good way, the Keith way. It all started with JC though. Love him to death.

There are some horrendous moments by Johnny Cash; he really hit a downward spiral from 1974 - 1994. Yet on every album, there's a moment of pure gold.
