I love this song, my brother in Augest of 2006 told me to listen to track 14 off of CASH'S hits album. I did. I wish I could go back to hear it again for the first time (as with most songs that I love) cuz its amazing! There are many things I love about it....what I noticed first was how they all sing in the same context, with tone I mean, and rhyme. I love the sounds that are added too like after "where steel and water did collide (sound)" And I love the drum beat how it keeps you pumped even in a country song kinda way.
I believe this is the order of singers
Willie (obviously)
Waylon
Kris
Johnny (obviously)
Someone tell me if I have Kris and Waylon's order correct.
Someone tell me also, when was this song recorded? And if its as old as someone said (1985ish) Was the recording I listen to on CASH's HITS re-recorded and mastered by Rick Rubin because it sounds incredibly up to date.
I listened to this constantly when I would bike ride in the summer for 3-5 hours. I saved this song for the hards parts going up hill in the country. I listen to the harder faster stuff in the city and down near the beach.
I'm sure nobody asks for all of this stuff I say, but whatever...music owns me
Willie is the first Highwayman.....Kris was the sailor....Waylon worked at the damn....and Johnny was the Astronaut.

I'm a HUGE Cash fan - but my hands down favorite on this song is Waylon. His voice gives me chills - esp the part about "they buried me in that grey tomb that knows no sound"..... his voice is magnificant. I've never really followed much of Waylon's music - but love his voice.
