The Old Violin

This is my favorite song and my favorite performance. Johnny was kinda low stock in Nashville for a long time because of how he acted. But is known he just wanted to be respected, always telling Waylon and Johnny Cash “I’m one of youse now!” It makes me real happy that he got to write such a beautiful song, and perform it in front of his peers and see them absolutely blown away before he died.

A relaxing piano song just for you

“There’s a live version from some country reunion show. Johnny is seated and his girth forces him to hold the guitar in an unusual fashion, beneath his knees. He doesn’t make eye contact with any of the people around him, instead staring off into the middle distance as he sings with a voice as burnished as the wood in… well, an old violin. No other country singer, Hank, Lefty, Kitty, no one could come close to this performance.” - Bob Dylan

Paycheck does not get enough credit for his voice.

He was very talented Artist. The guy personally was tortured by so many demons in his head. But, I don’t think he would’ve been as good without his problems. I know that sounds horrible. I think his tortured life brought out his gift🙏

You’re 100% correct.
