Johnny Cash did that song on one of his late 90's albums with Rick Rubin....

Also, It was recorded by several other artists over the years...

Johnny did it as a cover, check out the original done by Hank Snow!

I use Music Match as my radio here at the shop. They have a free player if you want at www.musicmatch.com (http://www.musicmatch.com)

Didn't they tour with the Rev for a while?

[Missouri_Mike]

I think they did tour with the Rev for a bit...and their former bass player (Joe Buck) tours with Hank III pretty regularly.

Speaking of which...anyone else see that Hank III is going to be doing some opening slots for The Cramps? I'm still trying to find a way to get to Texas or New Orleans for that show...

I've Been Everywhere
Written by: Geoff Mack;
Recorded on the 1998 Grammy winning album, Unchained


I was totin my pack along the long dusty Winnamucka road
When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load
If your goin' to Winnamucka, Mack with me you can ride
And so I climbed into the cab and then I setteled down inside
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand
And I said, "Listen! I've traveled every road in this here land!"

This is straying a bit, but how about this one ...
One of the first Geico Gecko commercials showed the little dude driving a toy roadster. A bad-ass song plays. Any idea what the song is?

"Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002GBD/103-3823121-8883046?v=glance)

and the chorus sings, "now you're messin' with a -- son of a bitch!"

Funny, for a Geico commercial.
