For some of you folks out there who are looking for a little uplifting Sunday music – well, you’ve come to the wrong place!

I just DVR’d Johnny Cash’s very first movie – DOOR TO DOOR MANIAC last night on the Turner network and sometime this week I’ll sit down and watch it. In the meantime here’s eight old-school murder ballads thanks to the blog WRITTEN IN BLOOD – a blog that usually focuses on reviewing horror films.
I love these dark old tunes.

Yup, I kind of thought that opening line was rather droll of me. 🙂

Steve, did you ever see an old TV movie with Johnny Cash and Andy Griffith called Murder in Coweta County?
LikeLike
I remember Cash in “A Gunfight” with Kirk Douglas and the movie about the man who could not read, “The Pride of Jesse Hallam”.

Murder in Coweta County is based on a true story about one of the first times-if not the first time-that a white man was sentenced to death on the testimony of a black man. Cash is excellent as the sheriff of the county but it is Griffith who steals the movie as the killer.

Sounds good, John. Griffith was always an underrated actor. I really enjoyed him in FACE IN THE CROWD and HEARTS OF THE WEST.

I never saw ahim in Hearts of the West but loved him in A Face in the Crowd. He should have won the Oscar that year but instead it went to Broderick Crawford for All the King’s Men.

I bet you that vote was awfully close.
You ought to hunt up HEARTS OF THE WEST. Anyone who loves old movies like you do would really enjoy themselves.

Mine, as well. The first LP that I bought as a kid – using my paper route money – was THE BEST OF JOHNNY CASH.
