Song of the day for May 1, 2024
1 min read
I Walk The Line by Johnny Cash is today’s featured song.
On this day in 1956, Johnny Cash released “I Walk the Line.” His first No.1 on the Billboard country charts, the now-iconic single remained on the charts for over 43 weeks and peaked at No.17 on the US pop charts. Inspired by the backward playback of guitar runs on his tape recorder, the legendary artist used the technique to produce the unique chord progression of the hit song. It also includes Cash’s distinctive “boom-chicka-boom” sound, created by putting a dollar bill in the neck of his guitar.
