Tuesday’s Gone: Johnny Cash Shows “Feel Good Cringe” with Hokey Holiday Goodness
Continuing our seasonal salute to the holidays this week, for today’s Tuesday’s Gone, we’ve dug up this pure gold Johnny Cash Christmas special from way back in 1970. It’s a solid 40 minutes of hokey holiday goodness that includes a performance of the “Twelve Days of Christmas” with the Carter Family & Statler Bros, “Do What You Do Do Well” with Roy Orbison, and a closing performance of “Silent Night” with the entire cast. It’s admittedly a little cringe unless you’re a diehard Cash aficionado, but, hey, it’s Christmas, so, a certain level of cringe almost always comes with the territory. Might as well spend it with the late great Johnny Cash and family. R.I.P J.C.:
