Thought folks might appreciate a heads up on this one from Big O (wherelse?)! 

The master holding it together for one final visit to several of my all time favourite JC songs (Big River, Sunday Morning Coming Down, Folsom Prison Blues, I Walk The Line)


Johnny Cash - The Final Session 2003
 Big O quote Wikipoedia and tells us... .. .
"June Carter Cash died on May 15, 2003, at the age of 73. June had told Johnny Cash to keep working, so he continued to record, completing 60 more songs in the last four months of his life, and even performed a couple of surprise shows at the Carter Family Fold outside Bristol, Virginia. At the July 5, 2003 concert (his last public performance), before singing Ring Of Fire, Cash read a statement about his late wife that he had written shortly before taking the stage:
“The spirit of June Carter overshadows me tonight with the love she had for me and the love I have for her. We connect somewhere between here and heaven. She came down for a short visit, I guess, from heaven to visit with me tonight to give me courage and inspiration like she always has.”
Cash died of complications from diabetes at approximately 2 am CT on September 12, 2003 while hospitalized at Baptist Hospital in Nashville - less than four months after his wife. He was 71. It was suggested that Johnny’s health worsened due to a broken heart over June’s death. He was buried next to his wife in Hendersonville Memory Gardens near his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee.
Thanks to Blindopolis for sharing the tracks on Demonoid."

For those who are keen, they can search out the DVD featuring Johnny Cash’s last performances at the Carter Family Fold on June 21 and July 5, 2003 respectively. And some fans have reported that they could only watch it once, it was too painful to watch it again.
