This 1971 concert spotlights the great singer-songwriter and his road company before an audience that delighted in the country, rockabilly, American roots music, and spirituals that comprised the evening’s repertoire, with the “Man in Black” backed by his airtight backup band, the Tennessee Three.
The concert featured June Carter Cash in three duets with her husband, including “If I Were A Carpenter.” The legendary Maybelle Carter — June’s mother, Cash’s mother-in-law, and matriarch of the First Family of Country Music — was also on hand, as were her other talented daughters, Anita and Helen. Rounding out the star-studded lineup was rockabilly eminence Carl Perkins (of “Blue Suede Shoes” immortality) and the Statler Brothers, much loved for their off-the-wall humor and homespun four-part harmonies.
