Gospel Music Of Johnny Cash, The - Johnny Cash

Advantages: He is Johnny Cash
Disadvantages: I am not Johnny Cash

...piece of country gospel, and that listening to it with an open ear just might make you understand something about love. “I Never picked Cotton” is more of a statement of intent than a song, rebellion, betrayal and redemption are classic elements of country music and here it is for you in its full glory.
