This all vinyl Johnny Cash mix was recorded the day The Man In Black died.
At the time I gave the mix out on CD, here it is again.

By the early 1970s, he had crystallized his public image as &quot;The Man in Black&quot;. He regularly performed dressed all in black, wearing a long black knee-length coat. This outfit stood in contrast to the costumes worn by most of the major country acts in his day: rhinestone suit and cowboy boots.
In 1971, Cash wrote the song &quot;Man in Black&quot;, to help explain his dress code:

We&#039;re doing mighty fine I do suppose
In our streak of lightning cars and fancy clothes
But just so we&#039;re reminded of the ones who are held back
Up front there ought to be a man in black.

He wore black on behalf of the poor and hungry, on behalf of &quot;the prisoner who has long paid for his crime&quot;.
