When I Was Arrested I Was Dressed

Because You're Mine, I Walk The Line.

[my Mother] Called [my Voice] The Gift.

My Contract With Mercury Polygram Nashville Was About To Expire. And I Never Had Really Been Happy. The Company, The Record Company, Just Didn't Put Any Promotion Behind Me. I Think One Album, Maybe The Last One I Did, They Pressed 500 Copies. And I Was Just Disgusted With It. And About That Time That I Got To Feeling That Way, Lou Robin, My Manager, Came To Me And Talked To Me About A Man Called Rick Rubin That He Had Been Talking To That Wanted Me To Sign With His Record Company.

I Used To Sing Bill Monroe Songs. And I'd Sing Dennis Day Songs Like Songs That He Sang On The Jack Benny Show.

[sam Phillips] Laughed At Me. I Just Didn't Like The Way I Walk The Line Sounded To Me. I Didn't Know I Sounded That Way. And I Didn't Like It. I Don't Know. But He Said Let's Give It A Chance, And It Was Just A Few Days Until - That's All It Took To Take Off.
