Voice has become second nature From page 13
the next song.” There were backwoods legends about a woman in a black veil, damned cowboys chasing red-eyed cows, tunes about being hurting and lonely on a Sunday morning, and songs about damned men staring at a prison wall and thinking about where things went so wrong. “It was neat to dig in and find all these obscure songs and we do a few of them in a night, but just a few,” he says. “I realized it’s not just
the song, it’s how you bring it across, too.You can take a piece of junk and turn it into something pretty nice if you kick it, and I’ve got the right voice to do that. So that’s nice to know.” Turning into the Man in Black took a lot of work, right down to studying videos of the way Cash walked, talked, and held his guitar. “The voice has developed as well where it’s just second nature now,” he says. “One of my French Canadian friends said ‘You better
watch out.You keep talking like that you’ll sound like Johnny Cash all the time.’ I said, ‘Well that’s better than sounding like you, Guy.’” The concert starts in 1955 and wraps up around 2002. When James talks about the show, he sounds a little like the radio pitchman at the end of Cash’s “The Night Hank Williams Came to Town.” “We’ll sell you the whole seat,” James promises. “You’re only going to need the edge.”
