That Girl Who Sang Johnny Cash
That Girl Who Sang Johnny Cash: (November 2007). Winner of the German Country Prise "Song of the Year 2011"...During the finale stage show at the Country Music Messe (Fanfair) in Nürnberg in 2007, the song, I think, was Hey Porter and my bud Mandy Strobel sang the first verse and I was all poised to jump up to the mike and belt out the next verse, but to our great surprise a young lady named Steffi Glässer stepped up and wailed out the verse….we all just stood there in shock!! I got to emailing Steffi back and forth to find out she was a big Cash fan. When I started writing the song, everything that kept coming out was a title to a Johnny Cash song, so after a little bit I decided to make the whole song based on titles of songs Johnny Cash recorded…there’s 28 of them….if you missed one, go back and listen a little closer!! THINGS TO KNOW: My duet partner Marty Wolfe is the only guy I know in Germany that knows MORE about Cash than I do. He used to hang out with the Tennessee Three when Cash came to Germany and he’s a personal friend of Bob Wooten. Also, the TAG is a joking tribute to Steffi and her duo, the “Crown Jewels”!! Thanks Steffi and Marty!
