JONI MITCHELL played out a two part harmony with JOHNNY CASH on the presentation episode of The Johnny Cash Show (June seventh 1969).

Written in 1959 by Danny Dill with Marijohn Wilkin, THE LONG BLACK VEIL was purposely created to look like a conventional song. Dill considered it an "moment society tune." It was initially kept in Nashville by Lefty Frizzell (with Wilkin on piano), created by Don Law. It arrived at #6 on the blue grass music diagrams.

The verses concern a man blamed for homicide on incidental proof, who won't talk up to excuse himself since he was laying down with his dearest companion's better half on the deadly evening. Staying quiet to save her life and notoriety, he goes to the hangman's tree, and she visits his grave covertly.

The writers said they were propelled by Red Buttons' "God Walks These Hills With Me" as well as contemporary news reports about the demise of a New Jersey cleric who really was killed under a municipal center light in full perspective on 50 observers. Neither the intention nor the executioner was at any point named.

The authors joined these components with the account of the strange hidden lady who every year visits Rudolph Valentino's burial chamber to leave red roses.

Presently viewed as a society/country standard, it has been covered by bunch craftsmen.

At the point when Johnny Cash turned into a far-fetched star of TV, his face didn't exactly possess all the necessary qualities for a family-accommodating theatrical presentation, yet Cash's friendly appeal made it work in a normally unpredictable way. He wasn't your prototype clean-slice have that keeps on filling TV screens today, however the primary episode demonstrated that Cash was destined to make this program.

Following the progress of his two jail collections, Johnny Cash became hot property and his vocation took an unforeseen turn. The organization ABC moved toward him to introduce an assortment style show, which offered Cash an hour preliminary opening as a mid year swap for its pillar Saturday night theatrical presentation The Hollywood Palace. Because of its early evening space and wide-spreading over crowd, Cash needed to forfeit some artistic liberty. In any case, generally speaking, he got to give broadcast appointment to specialists he respected that customarily wouldn't show up in such a standard program.

The organization came to a split the difference with Cash. While he could book specialists for the show, they demanded that Hollywood's greatest names like Bob Hope and Kirk Douglas would show up close by them to keep appraisals and promotions high.

As a general rule, was a normally loosening up feel to the program thanks to it being recorded in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium. For the introduction episode, Cash held nothing back. In addition to the fact that Joni Mitchell showed up, yet Doug Kershaw and Bob Dylan made the excursion down to Tennessee as well, on June seventh, 1969.

Performers regarded Cash, and this implied that specialists like Dylan, who didn't have to take off on the unending advancement merry go round, would make an exemption for The Johnny Cash Show. Before sufficiently long, it turned into a right of entry for performers, and most really delighted in showing up on the program - not at all like most visits on an exemplary promotion trail.

Dylan made that big appearance to perform 'I Threw It All Away' and 'Livin' the Blues'. In the mean time, Mitchell conveyed a pillaging rendition of her immortal hit, 'The two Sides, Now'.

In view of that, it was just correct that he showed up on the debut episode of The Johnny Cash Show, yet the main issue is how would you follow up Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell? Money's rule as a Saturday night early evening moderator would wind up enduring 58 episodes and produced two seasons, which is a decent run for a program off in an unexpected direction that didn't simply serve the majority up what they needed.

It's difficult to envision a show like this consistently getting such a noticeable space on an organization in 2021. Johnny Cash was a rebel that carried nonconformity stars an opportunity to get out of the shadows into early evening and did it easily.
