When I Was Arrested I Was Dressed

Every Week, Dennis Day Sang An Old Irish Folk Song. And Next Day In The Fields, I'd Be Singing That Song If I Was Working In The Fields.

I Always Loved Those Songs. And With My High Tenor, I Thought I Was Pretty Good - You Know? - Almost As Good As Dennis Day.

By The Time I Actually Recorded Bitter Tears I Carried A Heavy Load Of Sadness And Outrage; I Felt Every Word Of Those Songs... I Expected There To Be Trouble With That Album, And There Was.... When It Was Released, Many Radio Stations Wouldn't Play It.... The Very Idea Of Unconventional Or Even Original Ideas Ending Up On "country" Radio In The Late 1990s Is Absurd.

I'm Thankful For The Sea Breeze That Feels So Good Right Now, And The Scent Of Jasmine When The Sun Starts Going Down.

I Met Sam Phillips When He Came In [studio] And I Said, I'm John Cash. I'm The One Who's Been Calling. And If You'd Listen To Me, I Believe You'll Be Glad You Did. And He Said, Come On In. That Was A Good Lesson For Me, You Know, To Believe In Myself.
