SONG: Jackson
ARTIST: Johnny Cash and June Carter
ALBUM: At Folsom Prison

We got married in a fever! Hotter than a pepper sprout! We been talkin' bout, Jackson, ever since the fire went out. We're going to Jackson!

If I listen to this song one more time, I think I'll burn a hole in the record. Thats how much I love it. Best duet in the history of country music. And here's why.

1. Johnny Cash loved June Carter, June loved Johnny. Therefore they had amazing chemistry that only got better when they were up on the stage.

2. June didn't have the best of voices, but that's what makes it sound real and genuine.

3. This wasn't the typical lovey dovey gaze into teach other's eyes romance song, it had spunk.

4. That toe tapping knee slapping bluegrass backdrop gets your blood pumping

5. When June sings Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
You're goin' to Jackson; go comb your hair!

6. And when Johnny sings When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow.
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how

You just can't top that. And if any of you think different, you just come and take it up with me.
