“Blistered” #50 12/6/1969

A Top 5 country hit from Johnny Cash, who sometimes showed a twisted sense of humor on his records. Composed by Billy Edd Wheeler, who wrote or co-wrote such tunes as “Jackson,” “Coward Of The County,” and the ever-popular “Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back.” Having had to use one of those as a child at my grandfather’s place, I can attest to the little brown shack’s usefulness.
