Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Waylon Jennings

"There Ain't No Good Chain Gang" is written from the perspective of a prison inmate thinking about the family he has left at home and became a fan favourite right from its release, reaching number two in the Billboard Country chart in USA.

Answer: Willie Nelson

"Ghost Riders (In the Sky)" was originally recorded by Stan Jones and has been recorded by musicians too numerous to mention since then, and as diverse as Elvis Presley, horror movie star Christopher Lee, death metal band Children of Bodom, and Dixie Chicks.

3. Johnny Cash teamed up with which music legend from Alberta, Canada in 1969 to perform a duet of the Bob Dylan song, "Girl from the North Country" on his TV show "The Johnny Cash Show"?

Answer: Joni Mitchell

"Girl from the North Country" was originally on Bob Dylan's 1963 album, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" and then re recorded as a duet with Johnny Cash and released on Dylan's 1969 album, "Nashville Skyline".

4. On "Unearthed" from 2003, released just two months after the death of Johnny Cash, he shares a duet of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" with which former member of punk band, The Clash?

Answer: Joe Strummer

"Redemption Song" was on Bob Marley's 1980 album, "Uprising" and Joe Strummer had covered the track before, with his post Clash band, The Mescaleros, but died before the album containing it, "Streetcore" was released in 2002.
The cover by Cash and Strummer was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, losing out to Ray Charles and Norah Jones for their version of "Here We Go Again" (2005).

5. Which protest song singer, social activist and folk legend appeared on "The Johnny Cash Show" on TV in 1971 to duet with Cash on "Worried Man Blues"?

Answer: Pete Seeger

Was there ever an artist as talented as Pete Seeger? Even if you don't agree with his political views or social activism, his incredible musical abilities must surely be admired?
Still influential today amongst working class musicians such as Billy Bragg from UK and Bruce Springsteen in USA, Seeger left a hole that will not be filled easily, when he died in 2014.

Answer: Julie Andrews

The album, which also included a contribution from Elvis Presley's backing band, The Jordanaires, wasn't a great success, reaching just number 63 on the UK album charts.
Andrews has recorded several albums throughout her career, in a variety of genres, starting with "The Lass with the Delicate Air" from 1957, which was an album of music hall classics.

7. Johnny Cash's partner on many songs, and his wife from 1968 until her death in 2003, with whom did he record "If I Were a Carpenter" in 1970?

Answer: June Carter

"If I Were a Carpenter" was a track on Cash's 1970 album, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" and was released as a single, peaking at number two on the Billboard Country chart and 36 on the Billboard Pop chart.
Also on the album was the Johnny and June duet, "Cause I Love You", written by Johnny.

8. "The Wanderer" was the final track on 1993s "Zooropa" album, one of the few tracks that the usual lead singer for these Irish giants didn't sing on. Who was this band that Cash sang with?

Answer: U2

Bono had written the song for U2 and although he recorded the vocals he couldn't shift the sound of Johnny Cash's voice singing it as he had heard in his head while he was writing it, and felt that only Cash could do the song justice.

9. "The Running Kind" was a 1978 track by country star Merle Haggard, that was covered by Johnny Cash and which member of The Traveling Wilburys?

Answer: Tom Petty

Haggard had taken the track into the top ten on the Canadian RPM Country charts and to number 12 on the American Billboard Country charts, one of just three singles releases from him that didn't crack the top ten on that chart in the 70s.
The Cash / Petty cover of the song was included on the "Unearthed" box set, released in 2003, just two months after the death of Cash from complications from diabetes.

Answer: Miss Piggy

Cash appeared on "The Muppet Show" in its final season and performed "Orange Blossom Special" with the house band, followed by a duet with Miss Piggy of "Jackson". Hopefully June wasn't too jealous.
