Thomascow`s version of “Bird on the Wire” may now be viewed and heard right here, it is a Leonard Cohen 1960’s song Cohen recorded it in September 1968 in Nashville and included it on his 1969 album Songs from a Room. Judy Collins was the first to release the song on her 1968 album Who Knows Where the Time Goes. Many have recorded it since including Johnny Cash to whom the song and style are very favorable.

June Carter teamed with Merle Kilgore and her husband Johnny Cash in 1962,she came upon a book of Elizabethan poetry that had been her uncle A.P. Carter’s. and had noticed that he had underlined the words Love is like a burning ring of fire . Thinking it a great line for a song she and Merle wrote “Ring of fire” for Anita Carter who recoded it in Nov 1962. But Johnny wanted the song. Johnny Cash heard Anita's record and awoke one morning from a dream in which he had heard Mexican horns on the record. He told Anita "I'll give you about five or six more months, and if you don't hit with it, I'm gonna record it the way I feel it." Now it is history, the Carter family are famous from the very start of recording days when in the 1927 they first started recording their work mainly composed by A.P. Two of my favourites are “”Keep on the sunny side & The Wabash cannonball” Over 15 years they recorded 270 songs plus.
