The 3rd song in the trilogy of songs entitled In the Spirit of Johnny Cash, engages two aspects of the late great Johnny Cash. First this song is, for lack of a better word, a New Age version of “When the Man Comes Around” . Also a song Johnny wrote called “Worried Man” , Willy Nelson, friend and fellow outlaw, took that song and put a Calypso rythm to it. I have also done this with with the song entitled, “Heart of Gold”
