Well, it's more biographical of Carl Perkins . . . Still a nice song, though.

It seems to be his gimmick, take a rockin' song by a crappy band and make it orgasmic.

Suck on my balls.  I'm sure I'll get plenty of hate for this, but pre-91 U2 produced some great albums.

I actually Love Pre- All That You Can't Leave behind U2

In moderation.

Specifically Bullet the Blue Sky, and Eleven O'Clock Tick Toc.

manc_ill_kid:
The first Johnny Cash song I ever heard was Chicken In Black, so when I was young I assumed he was some kind of novelty act akin to the birdie song.

Its about how he got brain cancer and had to have a brain transplant with a bank robber, and so in the middle of gig he becomes the Manhatten Flash, the greatest bank robber in New York, on the other hand his brain gets put into a chicken's head and become a successful country star, Chicken in Black, you should check it out some time

Now my opinion has changed, but Chicken in Black is still one of his best.

Crap doodle! You are correct. Liner notes say it was written by Perkins...always sorta assumed it was by Cash though, with mention of a dead brother, etc.

Incidentally, my favorite Perkins track is "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby".

The Eyeball Kid:
Long Black Veil
his cover of Cave's The Mercy Seat
but my absoluate fave (and i have no idea where it comes from) is a track called Rockabilly Blues. really fun fun fun stuff
