Walk the Line with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon playing Johnny Cash and June Carter

Johnny Cash is a legend.

His tunes will be listened to for decades to come. Even in Johnny’s simplicity, his songs are some of the best out there.

Last night I watched the movie “Walk the Line”. Joaquin Phoenix plays the part of Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon plays the part of June Carter. Each does a phenomenal job.

The beauty of the movie was that both sang their own lyrics. This was a risky move if you ask me. To try and replicate Johnny does not seem like a small task. However Joaquin pulled it off like a champ. I was really suprised.

If your a Johnny Cash fan you might be suprised by this movie. I heard lot’s of backlash and trash talking from hard core Cash fans when they heard about the movie. The producers and actors really seemed to do justice on this one.

It’s a great flick….You should definitely watch it if your a music fan.

After watching the movie I scoured the internet looking for the duet “Times A Wastin” but couldn’t find it anywhere. It’s not on the soundtrack, but it’s a great song. Apparantly June Carter sang it with her husband a long time ago and the only recording is not being released by her ex. I’m not sure of the validity of that though.

But I wanted the phoenix/witherspoon version. They rocked that song.

Well after searching the net for a bit, I found a dude who created a remix from the movie and sent me a mp3. It’s not the entire version but it still does the trick.

If you would like a copy, leave me a message.

    I loved the movie and the stars.  I have the CD, but am sorely disappointed that Time’s a Wastin is not on there.  Could you please send it to me?

    Thanks a bunch.
