Dave mentioned legendary producer, David Ferguson. Here are two videos I made with him that you need to see.

After hearing his description, hearing Johnny Cash live must have really been something.
As a longtime Dwight Yoakam fan, I'm very happy to hear he helped Dave get to the funeral.
I got to see Dwight a few years back at a tiny little casino in West Virginia. Very intimate and the sound guy was spot on. Man they sounded prime✌️
Agreed on all counts. I met him once In LA at a Lone Justice show right around the corner from Capital. He was kind to a fan and his music has always been a great continuation of the original country.
Elvis was King, Dwight was Daddy
Amen. Dwight is the real deal…
I was just going to say that .
I was a kid when I first heard Dwight 86 I was 11 years old and grew up on Johnny and buck Owen’s Marty robbins Ralph Stanley and bill munroe with a huge helping of Waylon and Willie and Merle . My dads record collection and Dwight made me realise the outlaws where still real and this shit was current ..
I’m so glad to hear Dwight cancelled some shows and flew with Dave when Johnny passed .. a legend of a man
You know John could have snapped his fingers and had any upright bass player he wanted come running, to give Dave a chance like that just shows the true grace Johnny Cash had. I was lucky enough to see him in a smaller venue, Humphreys by the Bay, in San Diego in the late 80's with June. It was before the big resurgence, he was doing all the old stuff and doing it very well still. He truly filled up the place with his presence when he walked out on that stage, for 90 minutes I didn't hardly blink, I didn't want to miss a thing.
Great story, John. Thank you for sharing.
When would you say was the resurgence or the renewed interest in Johnny's music. I was still very young when he died but I know that the release of hurt definitely brought a lot of interest, and later ofc the movie on his life but that was after he passed on
@@kalmon6745 I’m 62 Kal, so I grew up with him on the tv, on the radio, his music was always a part of my life. But he had faded away to more of an icon figure in the late 80’s and early 90’s. When he made the decision to do the American recordings in the mid 90’s he returned to the forefront, it was a change in direction brought on by Rick Ruben that worked, if not with all of his traditional fan base, but young people got introduced to him which brought on a huge resurgence for him. The best part about it to me was it allowed all these young people to go find all of his music, and they discovered just how great he truly was. I remember being in a bar around that time, bunch of young people all around me. Cocaine Blues came on, all these younger people knew every word, it knocked me out. Hurt was obviously a huge deal for him too, but I think the American Recordings really drove his later popularity to new heights.
I saw Johnny Cash with the Highwaymen at an outdoor venue
in Fort Erie Canada. I could have
passed him a beer we were that close. I’d seen Wiiie a number of times and I hadn’t realized how
small he was and how big and
personally magnetic Cash was, he dominated the stage. It’s nice to hear what a great guy he was.
@@kalmon6745 He had a big resurgence in the mid 1960’s,
with his hit record ‘A boy named Sue.’ A tv show followed and he was quite popular. His next resurgence was after the Rubin record and his version of ‘Hurt’.
This is an awesome story. My first hero was and remains Johnny Cash. And every story I hear about him is the same. A legendary good man!!
This dude is so authentic and seems so real! It’s no wonder he’s worked with everyone, very likable guy
I agree that Johnny died missing June, one of the greatest love story. Thanks as always Otis, great interview (the rest of it, lol!). Blessings y'all!
Yup, it's a hard thing when your sweetheart dies. I miss my girl every day.
Man everytime I think you've topped the best of stories another one comes along. Wow this is the good stuff from the people that were there. Excellent stuff. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do.
Great interview!! I remember seeing Johnny singing Ghost Riders In the Sky on The Muppets Show. I thought how is this even possible!! In 2003 I heard them play Chattanooga City Limit Sign on XM radio!! It took me about 18 years to finally get The Baron on cd for that song!! The Sun stuff is just stellar!! Long live the man in black!!
This interview brings tears to my eyes... for all the good reasons.
2 years after Johnny died his son, John Carter Cash, invited me to their family's property to play some songs I wrote. We hung out in Johnny's cabin which was also his home studio. They told me Dylan recorded there. John Carter was super kind but after I played him my stuff he said, "Well, I like it a lot...but it's not Nashville." My heart broke. I had just driven from my home in Oklahoma and was only 19 at the time. I still think about what I could have done different, because if I had written something a little more "Nashville" a pat on the back from the Cash empire would have meant a lot for my young songwriting self-esteem. But it was fun and I eventually played with a bunch of amazing old Appalachian musicians, more in the traditional Southern Appalachian vein.
At least you've got the story to tell. That's pretty cool!
The deep and steady voice Johnny Cash had was mesmerizing to listen to. And what a treasure of music he left the world. Music which will be listened to LONG after we have all passed. I don't doubt Johnny sings for the Lord now and often.
Man this is so cool!!!! That’s the mark of a true musician. Much respect to Johnny cash!
I'm not a fan of country music but loved Cash. He was a real musician.❤️
Thank you Dave Roe for your generous testimony and honest reflection. You built a great musicians life. Hope you get a lotta miles ahead in that private jet, you earned it. And Otis, you’re doing good work with these interviews illuminating the musicians life . Love the background. Thanks and keep at it
Hey Otis, great interview, Johnny Cash and Dwight Yoakum are both greats in the country music world. Thanks friend for the cool video 😎 📹 .
All folk and country music fans know that G-d’s voice sounds like J.R. Cash.
Thank you for preparing, posting, and sharing these superb oral histories of many music artists.
My band showcased at SXSW at a club in South Austin in '89. The place was packed, and we had the management of the Desert Rose Band checking us out. It was a great show for us and we were feeling pretty pumped. We heard Cash was playing down at Raven's (became Emo's) and so we went down to check it out. Cash had the stripped down band (I believe Roe was playing) and as they blasted through their set all I could think was "compared to this, we're total crap". We had to go back to the drawing board. Johnny was absolutely the real deal even at that stage of his life.

What a story, and a beautiful one that lends Johnny to the legends of this industry instead of infamy.
I love these great stories! Like so many others, Johnny was one of my favorites. Yesterday I was listening to "MATADOR " & "IRA HAYES". God he had so many great songs! I to was so shocked that June passed first. The love they had for each other, I wasn't surprised when Johnny went. Although it still hurt when I heard he passed. I watched his last performance, with a small room of fans,here on UA-cam. It was devastating to see how frail,The Man in Black had become! John & June will always be in my heart & memories until I to leave this world. Thank you again for sharing these great memories!❤
These videos with Dave are epic! This cat's got the stories! I saw his son play drums at a few of the Jerry Reed tribute nights at Douglas Corner and 3rd & Lindsley. Great to see the bloodline carrying on. Thank you, Otis!
I play many styles of guitar, but it all started listening to Johnny Cash. Never got to see him live, though I met his brother Roy, and, believe it or not, his mother.
This was great! Thanks Otis and Dave!
That's one of the best interviews I've seen for what interested me.
That was awesome. I saw Johnny around town periodically throughout my life. His son, John Carter, was my same age and went to a local school and we would cross paths as well. I would see him at Morrison's Cafeteria, picking John Carter up from the skating rink, and in the line waiting for a movie. The last time I saw John was in line for the Highlander 2 I believe. He was truly the nicest guy ever. A buddy of mine was in rehab with him. He said the same thing.
Loved johnny cash since I was a kid him n June were incredible together too and it's impossible to say which song is my favourite because he has soo many good ones but faves r big river walk the line orange blossom special ring of fire 🔥 .... Rip johnny and June.we will not ever forget you .
This series with Dave Roe have been exceptional. Working with Johnny Cash must have been amazing.
Dave is an outstanding bass player! Loved the time he was in Cash’s band. Him, Bob, WS gave Cash that simple sound again and he was at his best during that time. Those mid 90s live performances were among his very best!
This segment is amazing.
I discovered Cash as a 25 year-old, grunge-rocking bartender in Seattle, 1994.
Our chef played “Oh What a Dream” on the Jukebox one Sunday-morning, and I fell in love with just about every cash song I heard after that.
My parents were also rockers, so I wasn’t exposed to ANY Cash growing-up.
For me it was on an 8 track in my junior high track coach’s pickup in the 70’s. Next was finding Dylan thanks to a ride with my neighbor’s girlfriend. Back then, you heard a lot of music in vehicles
These are fantastic interviews!! Otis, you do a wonderful job of guiding but not dominating the conversation. Dave is absolutely one of the best communicators and great at painting a picture for us. I don't even know about the music industry, only the stars. I am absolutely impressed. Btw, very endearing to hear about how kind some of these stars can be, like Dwight and Johnny!
It definitely warms the soul. Some people make it to the top and think they're above everyone else. Money can ruin people. Nice comment.
I never met Johnny or saw him play live unfortunately, but when I heard the news I cried like a baby and can still cry if I'm not careful. That evening I went up on stage with my acoustic and played Folsom Prison Blues. As I was walking on that stage there were a few big ole school bikers that said "don't mess this up boy."
A great story and show of where talent and generosity marry up to make a synthesis of where the sum is greater than its parts.
Otis O absolutely love you bringing us these awesome historical voices that deserve their voice be heard. Not only that but you ask the questions that I would I'll never be a pro musician I am a player since I was a kid and music has saved my life. Well other than Jesus but next is music I love it all man, I feel like I have known you for years in the straight up human being that you are I am grateful to hear the many videos that come up in my list. I just moved from Californiw back to Colorado and feeling very lost at the moment listening to this video gave me comfort in a down to earth huqm experience, I don't know where I'm gonna land cus nothing feels right to me on a personal level Colorado isn't hitting my life maybe expectations are in the way. Thanks man for doing what you do brother really.. much love God Bless
Meeting Dave, having a PBR with Dave and watching him play in his overalls made me so happy. Dave is a GOOD Man!!!! Thank you, Dave
I was a close friend and business partner with johnny and June.Naturally I met Dave Roe great bass player and a great man
I could listen for hours to these behind-the-scenes stories. Johny Cash was a big deal in our family from the 60's onward and my dad liked to copy Luther Perkins style on the guitar. Dave Roe is a great musician and a big thanks goes out to him for sharing these stories!
Thanks for keeping those who have departed alive. Their sounds & lyrics molded many of us, as well as putting their biographies to song.
A great story and clearly Cash had some very fine qualities.. Also much respect to Yoakam for getting Dave to the funeral. There have been some very fine folk in the music biz. They should get more credit.
Thank you, Otis. You're documenting a part of history which might have well been lost without you.
These interviews need to be saved. This stuff is gold. Thanks Otis.
Absolutely extraordinary interview. I was right there right in the middle I could see everything. I have loved to Johnny Cash since I was a child and I am 52 now. Thank you so much to both of you for this interview
Amazing story as always. Its always good to here positive stories about the icons you love and respect.
Great hearing these memories. Thanks 🙏
glad to have been a part of the legacy ... Cash was my friend, and he trusted me ... he canceled other players, who were going to audition, when he hired Dave, after my recommendation. That was a helluva compliment to both Dave, and me!
Mighta been 30 years ago, saw them perform with the Carters in KY to damn near nobody. I prayed to hear “Big River” & they closed the show with it. I walked in alone but left with more
Johnny Cash will always be one of my favorite people. All Johnny had to do was talk, let alone sing and I was fixated on everything he had to say. Johnny Cash was a very special man. We miss you so much.
Great interview Johnny was a great man and his story tells it.W.S. Holland was a great drummer it must have been the best gig anyone could get what a break JC gave Dave.
Dave thanks for sharing your experiences working for Johnny Cash. Hard to imagine what life would be like without his music. Timeless.
Thank you Otis, and Dave for this story. I was in attendance back in January of 95 at the Gusman Concert Hall here in Miami. It was, and is, a special evening in my life. Bless
Johnny and June are the definition of good people. Lenny Kravitz tells a great story about them on Rick Rubin's podcast. It will put a tear in your beer.
What an unreal interview!!! Dave seems like a really smart guy that know when it is time to really put in the work. Love to hear more of his stories!!!!
This is incredible! I grew up on Johnny Cash - between albums and the TV show, my dad actually would wear out his albums.
This insight is amazing! Thanks for doing this.
When Dave mentioned Brian Farmer my ears perked up. I worked with Brian in 1983 in the crew for "Atlanta". Tony Ingram brought him on the gig. I was Tony's drum tech. Dave may have known Tony and/or his brother Randy who played bass tor Merle Haggard. Sadly, both Tony and Brian are gone now. Those were great times.
Wow - these stories are amazing! I could listen to these 24/7. Thank you for doing these - as a weekend-warrior musician, I can relate to a lot of it and it's so cool to hear about the big stars and behind-the-scenes stuff!
Amazing stories! We are the fly on the wall for sure
Thank you both. These videos somehow just keep getting better. God Bless.
Awesome interview, such a wonderful and sincere man. Thanks for sharing your memories, Dave Roe.
This is great (as they all are)! Thanks Otis for putting these out!!
incredible story. such great history. thanks so much for sharing. thanks so much for posting. the insight and connection to the punk vibe is spot on and crystal clear.
I could sit and listen to this stuff all day long.
Dave ROE makes the essential case for why young rockers could get totally into country style. It is only a short distance from punk rock. This interview is classic.
Thanks Otis. For many of us 60’s kids it was The Johnny Cash show NOT the Ed Sullivan Show which gets cited so much. Dylan,Kristofferson,Clapton etc. etc. Great interview!
"Everybody wanted it to work. That's why it worked" Amen. Mr. Roe is so Real. So talented. Y'all worked together?
Otis, I and many others appreciate what you do. Thanks for all the great videos.
These are really wonderful, Otis. Thanks so much for bringing the stories.
Thanks for sharing the stories. J.R... what a guy.
Great interview. The upright is never loud enough. I wore my suspension out carrying an upright and big cabinets to gigs.
Freakin’ awesome! Love to hear these stories and get to know the artists. Thank you!!
Lovin' Dave's stories. Thanks, as always, Otis!
this is a great interview. Never knew his band was so loud
SO crazy, my friend and I were just talking about Johnny Cash this morning. We had a long conversation about the Rick Ruben stuff. Thank you both for sharing these great stories. One thing I have to agree with is the Fender Twin. If anyone shows up at my gig with one that I hired I send them home. Those things are disgustingly loud. I love old Fender amps, never had a desire use one.
Thanks for that one Otis . Dave Roe is a treasure . ☮❤🎶
You had me at Vern Gosdin. Man I miss that guy. What an incredible experience Mike! Practical jokes and all.😂
Thank you, Otis 🙏
Helluva story, and a great break into the big time.
Always liked Johnny Cash. He just seemed to be very salt of the earth and human.
Be good to you 🤍💛
I was a longtime Johnny Cash fan who LOVED "the Rick Rubin stuff". Johnny's cover of "Hurt" & the accompanying video provided an excellent coda to Cash's life & career, imo.
Thanks for honoring Mr. Cash…
I loved the Johnny Cash albums that Rick Rubin produced. It was a shock at first, but maybe the greatest shock in music of my lifetime.
Cash stories are American history. Can’t say enough good shit about him, what a legend! Believing in someone to be the player he wanted and affording time to catch up, classic. What a gentleman.
" Greatness comes to Great Guys ! Thank you for sharing ! "
Great stories. Much respect to Mr. John Cash.
Rest In Peace to the great Brian Farmer who Dave mentioned. He went on to tech for Warren Haynes after Johnny. Really good guy.
Farmer was wonderful. You ever hear Farmer's story about Row getting him the Cash gig?
@@travissmith9451 I haven't. Sounds like it could be good,
My favorite interview so far, ty Otis! Saw this guy w Dwight and always wondered who the coolest bass player was/is.
This series is stellar! Thank you so much for sharing these stories.
Wow. What an amazing guy and I like the way you let him just talk. I’m sure he has a lot of stories.
Man, if only I could chat with him for one day. Hell, I would be thrilled to jam with him too. I dig rockabilly and Johnny Cash boom chicka stuff. That’s my guitar style all day long.
Incredible stories about an incredible artist ... thank you.
Beautiful stories. Thank you
Thank you both. Always curious to learn a bit about the man in black.
Thanks So Much Otis! Touching.
This is fascinating. A must listen for any fan of music of any type.
This is The Best, Mr. Gibbs. The best online.
Dave Roe is a treasure: God bless him. 😊
Terrific interview
My take ... best one yet!
How likeable is this guy? Dig this... I could listen to him for hours.
Cash was gracious, allowing the time for Dave to develope... outside his comfort zone, growing, expanding his craft.
I wish I'd caught Cash in this iteration live... that high SPL stage sound I bet was powerfully exciting.
I'm intrigued.
Curious about the Vogue show referenced previously, I'm guessing that was a high stage SPL show as well?
Love to have experienced that, or hear any recollections of the sound that night.
I know it's terribly unhealthy for one's hearing, but I fondly recall a handful of events whereby the stage sound, supported by the PA, was just at another level.
I recall being viscerally bathed in clean, high level, full body live experience ... clean, loud, live.
It can elicit wonderfully exciting and fulfilling feelings.
Playing out.
Live music.
("musician's ear plugs" products help, but most don't work right for me, I've tried several ... the challenge is lack of detail.
My faves damp down the harsh high SPL mid-highs adequately without losing too much clarity.
What results is a nice, warm bass heavy tonality.)
I cannot properly express how much I love this channel. If there is anyone else in the country doing this kind of thing, I’m not aware of it. When the topic is about someone of Johnny Cash’s stature, it all goes completely off the charts.
Johnny would have been within his rights to tell Dave to hit the bricks, but he demonstrated what a great man he was by giving Dave a chance. A tip of the cap to Dave also for putting in the work necessary to become a great upright player.
In August of 1970, my folks took me to see the Johnny Cash Show at the Indiana State Fair in the Fairgrounds Coliseum. This was the entire crew with the Statler Brothers, Carter Family, and Carl Perkins. I was raised listening to Johnny. When he walked out on that stage, I could not have been more in awe if it had been God Himself. It was among the greatest days of my life.
This is the very first of your videos that I immediately listened to twice. Johnny Cash impressed everyone he ever met in a positive way. Not always, but certainly after he came to grips with his own life in the late 60's. Not everyone can be that honest. And his body of work is timeless. Think of how great a song like "I Still Miss Someone" is.
Fantastic. Really special.
Thank you so much for posting. I saw Dave Roe a couple times in The Netherlands and Germany with Johnny Cash. One time I saw him with Dwight Yoakum in The Netherlands (Emmen). A very good bass player and a nice man! Greetings from The Netherlands!!!
My first date with my ex was to a Johnny Cash concert. I arranged to borrow bikes and we rode to the outdoor stage to see Johnny, June Carter and family. I was so excited, amped to see Johnny and the crew, the show was as expected, brilliant. She didn't care for any of it, the bikes, Johnny or June or the family. Foresight being 20/20
Dude Otis these interviews are so rad!!!
Another great story. Thank's Otis
Great testimony. Tq. Inspiring.
Bass never gets no love! But when you hear it you know it
That was the best thing I’ve ever watched on UA-cam!✌️
