Red headed stranger or the man in black?


i'm a big fan of willie nelson and johnny cash - two of the all time greats, in my opinion, who span genres and influence many.

just wondering which one of these two greats my fellow audiogoner's prefer and which one you think has been more influential. no real reason for this question, just a bit bored on a sunday night.

and by the way, i'm leaning towards the man in black on both accounts

I would have to say Willie Nelson, just because he had so much influence in bringing country music to the "mainsteam" music listener.
My favorite current equipment demo song is "The Warmth of the Sun" by Willie Nelson on a tribute CD, "The Beach Boys,
Stars and Stripes vol.1". It sounds fantastic & really shows how good redbook CD can sound.
I heard a song from the latest Johnny Cash CD on Smallville the other night, it sounded outstanding on an over-the-air broadcast, I'm gong to buy that CD this week. It will be my first Johnny Cash album.....
Cash - The Rick Rubin American Recording series is just fantastic. Also, his daughter Roseann is outstanding in her own right. Love Rules of Travel also. Although, Willie Nelson is great and his recent one with all the Duets are well done.
