Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire

Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash Song Info

"Ring of Fire" is a country music song popularized by Johnny Cash and co-written by June Carter (wife of Johnny Cash) and Merle Kilgore. The song was recorded on March 25, 1963 and became the biggest hit of Cash's career, staying at number one on the US charts for seven weeks. Although the phrase "Ring of Fire" sounds somewhat ominous, the term refers to falling in love - which is what June Carter was experiencing with Johnny Cash at the time. Some sources claim that June had seen the phrase, "Love is like a burning ring of fire," underlined in one of her uncle A. P. Carter's Elizabethan books of poetry. The song was originally recorded by June's sister, Anita Carter, on her Mercury Records album Folk Songs Old and New (1962) as "(Love's) Ring of Fire". It was released as a single and was a featured "pick hit" in Billboard magazine. When the song failed to become a major hit for Anita, Cash recorded it his own way, adding the mariachi-style horns. Mother Maybelle Carter and The Carter sisters feature prominently singing harmony.

- Searching

If anyone has been able to find Johnny Cash uncensored anywhere on iTunes, I would very much obliged.

- Censored ?

Can you people read ? It says live version and from what I remember it was bleeped on that album too. Who needs to hear it anyway. Everybody already knows what he says when bleep. Do you really need to hear it?

- Glad to Have Reviews - Why Censored?

Glad we have reviews on here. Why can't they offer a censored and uncensored version side by side so we can pick what we prefer?

- of course its good because its johnny cash if it wasnt amazing it wouldnt be johnny cash

i hate censored songs just as much as the next guy you cant censor johnny cash its like taking a dump on his grave you wouldnt do that would you? no unless if you were wierd or something

- wish my grandma was here to hear this

my grandma loved country music, and of course, Johnny Cash was her favorite. she passed away a while ago and they had a movie on tv about him called "Walk the Line". I wish she was here to listen to this

- RIDICULOUS

this is stupid, Cash is arguably the most well known singer of all time he shouldnt be cencered But this a great album and it would cost close to 50 to get all of these on the other albums of Cash, its a steal even though it is cencered

- Cash

The best

- Unbelievable !!!

You censor John Cash’s music? With so many other songs in iTunes library that drop the F bomb every other word and you censor Johnny Cash. Unbelievable !!!

- Legend

I just realized that a lot of the songs that we cant find are in the American I,II,III,IV,V such as I won't back down, ain't no grave etc, just got to do a little searhing

- Discovery of Censorship after purchase.

iTunes, you owe me a pure, straight complete recording of this album. I thought I was buying the real deal and you "baited-and-switched" me. I am not happy.

- yeeeeeeeeeeeha

This is the perfect example of country music. This isnt even close to being my favorite singer but hes okay.

- Hey, MAN!!!

Really, Johnny Cash knows what he's talking about.... do we really need the censorship.... I'm just glad I only buoght one song and spent 99 cents instead of the full album price...

- It's Johnny Cash

What more is there to say......

- why?

this should not be cencored i am a proud reletion of johnny and that guy could sing so let him be him for goodness sake

- OMG!

You need to buy this NOW!!!

- Great Album

It's a great album with his best songs. Why is everyone crying about a few words that aren't there? It's about his music and the passion he put into it. I agree with Charliebos1234, no reason to dislike it cause one swear word isn't there.

- ring of fire!!!

I  ring of fire!!! best song ever!!! lol

- Good songs!

Great album, but it should NOT be censored.

- The best singer ever!

He is the best singer ever!

- edited

Don't download this version. It has SOB bleeped out. the unedited version from the original 1969 concert is not edited and it's only $0.99.

- All songs should be untouched

As usual I failed to read.....Boy named Sue is EDITED don't waste your money!

- The way Mr. Cash would

Yes this album is censored but as Johnny Cash got older he did not use curse words and would not sing the expletives anymore. So if you need that in the songs don't buy the album but this is the way he would be singing them if he were still with us.

- Boy named Sue

I remember when this song came out and it was great... I have to admit when I saw it I just had to buy it, if for nothing else the Memory's of that time long ago. Bye Johnny...

- Y'all have problems.

I was looking thru th comments. I couldn't help but notice. That people were upset about some censorship. Now I just wanna say that I think you all are horribly mistakin. Because johhny ment everything he sang about. And what said in the uncensored songs is the same as these .I personally love them all now. I think you should acctually listen to the words and stop crying over some bad words being taken out...!!!

- STOP

don't by it. It is censored garbage.

- Cash

The best album of all time! I have the whole thing. It's the best

- I love Johnny Cash.

Me and my friend Freddy made a band in kindergarten and we sang the ring of fire and walk the line. He sounds so much like Johnny.GET THIS!!!!!!!! :D

- Feverish

I have to play it every now and then to shake me loose.

- Great album by Johnny Cash

Highwayman is my favorite.

- Censorship

itunes did not censor this album. We own this on cd and it is also censored, thats the way it was recorded from when they were more careful about what people said. It is still a good album though, Johnny Cash is one of my favorite artists.

- love it

enough said :o)

- The Essential Johnny Cash

Yes I didn't read about the censorship part also and will more picker when buying from iTunes again. Also I learned how to load my own CDs on to my iphone and Mac computer and that is where I going first from now on before I waste good hard earned monies here again.

- Love him! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love all his songs! Definitely a Legend in history! ❤❤

- old stuff

I love this old stuff. I like a lot of new stuff also. But this helps us remember what molded us, how we came to be...

- These songs are prolific,

Now that one can hear these songs in terms of how he died and lived his life. Its just makes them oh so much more special.

- EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW WHO HE IS

my friends tell me they never heard of Jonny Cash, it makes me sad. JONNY CASH IS A HUGE LEGEND PEAPLE

- Upset

You can't call an album (live) when you censor peices of the song and if your smart enough to know what your buying you'll know there's cussing in the song in the 1st places it's not on the radio so leave it alone censored version= stupid!

- Great album... boo censors...

I purchased "A Boy Named Sue" to add to a video I'm making and I didn't realize it was a censored version of the song. Completely worthless purchase. Is S.O.B. really all that bad? Maybe it is. iTunes should mark this album as Explicit as there's no way to know that this album has been censored.

- Legend!

While is doesn't have anything from the American recordings, but there are enough classics for great enjoyment. Love u n miss ya Johnny!

- Truth.

One of the most influential singers of the last century. Though others today are far popular, it is my belief they can not be compared to the legacy he left us.

- Whats up

I love my songs and u guys should to every body should know me cuz im johnny cash du

- Favourite

Johnny cash is my favourite artist

- A Boy Named Sue

Good song, but the censorship really messes it up.

- Censored!!!

Please Read!!! This is a censored Album. DO NOT FALL VICTIM like I did. This is BS. ALL artist and there music should be left as is. If you want censored music you should go to church.

- Missing 10 tracks?!

The description says there are 36 tracks on this dual cd album, but 10 of them are missing!! Any ideas on how to get all the tracks??

- A true country legend

Best country music I've ever heard!!!!!!!! Rest in peace,Johnny. Your legend will live on.

- Completed My Album

I purchased Ring Of Fire and just had to have the whole album. What a bargin, all this music. BillyK

- Where is it?

I was wondering why "I won't back Down" isn't on any of the albums?

- Johnny Cash

I LOVE ALL OF HIS SONGS!! JOHNNY UNG THEM WITH A LOT OF EMOTION. IT TORE MY HEART FINDING OUT THAT HAD PASSED AWAY! ;(

- It's all here

Don't get too hung up on the censorship on "Boy Named Sue". The BEEP is so old school it almost adds to the feel of the song. This is an incredible selection of some of the greatest songs in country and rock history. If you're new to Johnny, this is the best $17 you can spend.
