he's most famous for his 70s "outlaw" stuff but I love it all, including tons of his early Nashville hits. I mean, check this outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na3GjSyST_o
(Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line is from '66, that performance is from '71, just before he grew his hair out)

this is merle by the way but it's close. the early JC sides are better than Elvis's best-of imo.

Elvis is a tough nut to crack for me, I'm inclined to agree w JCLC on that count

It's not a determining factor, but I remember when listening to the Merle episode of Cocaine & Rhinestones learning that every last single Merle released for a span of 20 straight years went to the country top 10. TWENTY YEARS. That blows my mind.

yeah Merle's glory run was fucking insane.

btw let's just random-sample jc vs elvis. posit for elvis: mystery train, all shook up, heartbreak hotel, love me tender, jailhouse rock, suspicious minds, can't help falling in love with you, are you lonesome tonight, kentucky rain, always on my mind. cash: folsom prison blues, ring of fire, i walk the line, a boy named sue, ring of fire, don't take your guns to town, sunday morning coming down, big river*, there ain't no good chain gang**, sunday morning comin down
if that's not neck-and-neck for anybody then we don't see eye to eye & I'll take the cash mixtape about 7 times outta 10.
*this is only on my personal best of johnny cash list I'd venture but it's so fuckin great I gotta. **same

There's plenty of Cash I like, but I am a diehard Elvis fan. Also, I wish it wasn't so, but "Ring of Fire" is better as a cover than in the original. Those fucking horns (and I like mariachi music) ruin it for me.

I lurve Johnny's live prison albums, does Merle have the equivalent? I need to listen to more Merle.

Merle was an inmate at San Quentin when Johnny Cash did his show there.

i assumed JCLC was just comparing cash's sun sessions to elvis's sun sessions -- elvis wins that one IMO, but if you're comparing entire careers it's probably cash
