I think it's funny they make such a big deal of "Flesh and Blood." And there's a conspicuous omission of any gospel songs, which were a big part of Johnny's life and career. I might have included "Daddy Sang Bass," which is also a nod to his close association with the Statlers and the Carters, and his ability to make another song writer's lyrics (Carl Perkins, in this case) "his own". Otherwise, this list is right on. These are the songs that will endure. Thanks for letting me geek out on Cash with a fellow Kansan.
