Internet time has been a bit harder to come by during my travels.<br /><br />This is a pretty evenly matched contest. Johnny's vocal style fits the song well, but I think my preference goes to Charlie Daniels. He's such a great entertainer and his version is a tad more listenable.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917749460140880592.post-29051709879534016312015-07-19T09:22:06.067-07:002015-07-19T09:22:06.067-07:00I love this song and I love both artists featured ...I love this song and I love both artists featured but I give it to Johnny Cash.

I really like Charlie Daniels - saw them perform live, but I think I enjoy Johnny more, which is strange because I'm not usually a Cash fan. Go figure. Maybe it's his solitary delivery of the verses. He's probably backed by his wife's vocal group (Carter Family).

Charlie Daniel and Johnny Cash do an excellent job. All the nonsense over the confederate flag has gotten ridiculous and I'll leave it at that. I'm quite shocked to say, I'm voting for <b>Johnny Cash</b> in this round. His vocals did the lyrics justice. That weathered sound made me feel like I'm in old Dixie...wait I am in old Dixie. Great batlle! I'm gonna save this song & use it in a future blog post. :D <br /><br /><a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2015/07/mr-bojangles-botb-showdown-3/" rel="nofollow">Mr. Bojangles #BOTB showdown</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917749460140880592.post-16422979909250585412015-07-15T21:32:35.811-07:002015-07-15T21:32:35.811-07:00Hokey-Smoke, MIKE!

It's hard to believe you've been with us for a whole year now but... you HAVE!<br /><br />One of the great things I love about BOTB is that often the votes don't fall the way a person suspects they will when they put the BOTB installment together. Also, often a voter finds he or she is voting the opposite of how they anticipated they would, based solely on the participants. And THIS BOTB installment of yours is a PERFECT example of that for me...<br /><br />I love THE BAND, but this isn't one of their songs I particularly embraced.<br /><br />Waylon Jennings was probably Johnny Cash's best friend. I LOVE Waylon Jennings (saw him perform live 4 times) but I have NEVER, EVER been a Johnny Cash fan. I've always felt he was about 95% overrated!<br /><br />I DO, however, like Charlie Daniels and own one of his albums on CD.<br /><br />When I read the name of the contestants, I was CERTAIN I'd be voting for Charlie Daniels, and after hearing his version, I was double-certain.<br /><br />But I gotta admit (as much as I don't generally like his stuffs) JOHNNY CASH does this song very, very well. He gets my vote (to my great surprise!)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
