Description
The story behind this recording is as mythic as any in Watson's already deep and fascinating discography. Having taken six months off in January 2006 to relocate his family to Baltimore, Watson was preparing his return to music when old friend Johnny Knoxville offered up his cabin in the Tennessee mountains for the band to reconvene and rehearse. However, this wasn't just any mountain home. The cabin Knoxville was offering just happened to be previously owned by the one and only Johnny Cash. Watson, of course, jumped at the opportunity.
"I got up there and basically wrote ten songs in three days," remembers Watson. "At first I was adamant about not writing anything even remotely reminiscent to Johnny Cash as I figured I'd be instantly dismissed for trying to cop his vibe, but his presence was so strong up there that I decided why fight it, let the chips fall where they may and go with the feeling."
The album is indeed alive with the spirit of Johnny Cash. While he's always been a hero to Dale Watson, Cash's influence was but a subtle element in his previous songwriting. Here, however, Cash is present from the opening shuffle of "Justice For All" to the closing fade on "Runaway Train", in which he's directly acknowledged. Lyrically, as well, Watson's empathy for everyday people and their struggles is squarely in line with the Cash tradition.
