- Daddy Sang Bass ist ein Countrysong, der von Carl Perkins geschrieben und von Johnny Cash aufgenommen wurde. Er entstand 1968 für Cashs religiöses Konzeptalbum The Holy Land, das im Februar des folgenden Jahres veröffentlicht wurde. Das Stück erschien im Januar 1969 auch als Single und belegte für sechs Wochen Platz eins der Billboard Country Songs. Die Single hielt sich insgesamt 19 Wochen in den Charts. Perkins lehnte das Stück musikalisch und textlich an das Traditional Will the Circle Be Unbroken an, das Jahre zuvor von A. P. Carter umgeschrieben und von der Carter Family bekannt gemacht worden war. Der Text handelt von einer Person, die bereits als Kind den Eltern bei schwerer Arbeit helfen musste und der das gemeinsame Singen in der Familie dies leichter machte. Die beteiligten Musiker waren neben Cash (Gesang, Rhythmusgitarre) Luther Perkins (Lead-Gitarre), Marshall Grant (Bass), Carl Perkins (E-Gitarre), W. S. Holland (Schlagzeug) sowie die Carter Family und die Statler Brothers (Hintergrundgesang). (de)
- "Daddy Sang Bass" is a song written by Carl Perkins, with lines from the chorus of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?", and recorded by American country music singer Johnny Cash. It was released in November 1968 as the first single from the album The Holy Land. The song was Cash's sixty-first release on the country chart, going on to No. 1 on the Billboard country chart for 6 weeks and spending a total of 19 weeks there. The single reached No. 56 on the Cashbox pop singles chart in 1969. "Daddy Sang Bass" was also released on the Columbia Records Hall of Fame Series as a 45, #13-33153, b/w "Folsom Prison Blues" (live version). The record was nominated in the CMA awards category of Single of the Year by the Country Music Association (CMA) in 1969. "Daddy Sang Bass" was Cash's thirty-sixth entry on the pop charts and the last before his "A Boy Named Sue" became his first and only top ten hit there. No other act has ever started off a pop career with a longer such drought on the charts that was finally broken. The song appeared originally on the 1969 album The Holy Land, the 1971 Johnny Cash: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 collection, the 1999 Johnny Cash greatest hits compilation 16 Biggest Hits, and the 2002 The Essential Johnny Cash collection. According to Johnny Cash's book, The Man in Black, the singer overcame his amphetamine addiction by finding God and then helped his friend and frequent tour-mate Carl Perkins to overcome his alcoholism. Feeling inspired, Perkins wrote the song "Daddy Sang Bass" in 1967. Cash says the line "Me and little brother will join right in there" was written about Cash's brother Jack, who died when they were both boys. In the song the line is sung by Don Reid and Lew DeWitt of The Statler Brothers who are uncredited on the record, as is Jan Howard, who sang the line "Mama sang tenor" also in the song's chorus. Howard's part is frequently incorrectly credited to June Carter, who would sing the line in concert with Cash. Carl Perkins also recorded the song for his 1969 Greatest Hits compilation album on Columbia Records, which became a Top 40 hit on the Billboard country album chart that year. The line "Daddy sang bass" is sampled in They Might Be Giants' song "Boat of Car" from their self-titled debut album. (en)
