Sam Phillips Responded Most To A Song

I Kept Talking To My Producers At Columbia About Recording One Of Those [prison] Shows. So We Went Into Folsom On February 11, 1968, And Recorded A Show Live.

I Think In My World Of Religion, You're Called To Preach Or You Don't Preach. Called By God To Preach. I Never Been Ordained By God To Preach The Gospel. I Have A Calling, It's Called To Perform And Sing.

Sometimes I Am Two People. Johnny Is The Nice One. Cash Causes All The Trouble. They Fight.

I Knew I Wanted To Sing When I Was A Very Small Boy. When I Was Probably 4 Years Old. My Mother Played A Guitar And I Would Sit With Her And She Would Sing And I Learned To Sing Along With Her.

You've Got A Song You're Singing From Your Gut, You Want That Audience To Feel It In Their Gut. And You've Got To Make Them Think That You're One Of Them Sitting Out There With Them Too. They've Got To Be Able To Relate To What You're Doing.
