Related: About this forumThe Johnny Cash Show only lasted 58 episodes, between 1969 to 1971
But it is a gold mine of guest performances.
Of course the old school country artists were coming by - Merle haggard Buck Owens and Chet Atkins were familiar faces for country fans in those years and came on the show multiple times.
But Johnny was a Rocker and a rebel in his day and a badass throughout his life.
He didn't shy away from loud hippie looking rockers or performers that most Nashville venues would never consider on his show
