Red headed stranger or the man in black?


i'm a big fan of willie nelson and johnny cash - two of the all time greats, in my opinion, who span genres and influence many.

just wondering which one of these two greats my fellow audiogoner's prefer and which one you think has been more influential. no real reason for this question, just a bit bored on a sunday night.

and by the way, i'm leaning towards the man in black on both accounts

The man in black... Dylan wrote a song years ago called "Man in the Long Black Coat" which has little to do with Cash, although the song's title does evoke Cash. Dylan has been singing this song fairly regularly in his current European tour. And he cites Cash as being a great influence. I'm sure that, as great as Willy Nelson is, that more musicians have been influence by Cash than by Nelson.
