John Pennell commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'OK, bring it: Cash v. Haggard'
First of all, I think it's great that people are still putting there thoughts into this blog, what, some 6 or 7 months after Grant opened it? That alone speaks to the quality of both these songwriters. I don't think it's so important…

Re Virginia: I appreciate the comment, but, that's what happens when you live long enough, you accumulate all this stuff from what you've learned over your lifetime. Might as well share it. If it's of any value, maybe somebody else…

I'll try to sort out some of the 'lore' referred to here, at least the parts that I contributed to. Regarding Horton and Cash, most of that comes from the booklet for the Bear Family Box Set for Johnny Horton(vol. II), I believe. Also…

One more thing: another reason to keep the Complete Hank Williams Box Set, Grant, is the demo recordings he did. They are priceless! Sorry for gettin' off track here, but, I couldn't let that one go.

I agree with other posts that it's unnecessary to chose, only to listen and appreciate what they offered. Yeah, mom vs. dad, Lennon vs. McCartney, Beatles vs. Dylan, they all made great contributions. I will say this, however, Cash has had more…
John Pennell commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Five Best Living Songwriters'
Five best 'living' songwriters, man that's tough. Can't disagree with some of these even with different people from list to list. Can't believe Joni Mitchell isn't on any of these. John Lennon once said you're not…
