Johnny Cash the story teller.

First Post
A couple years ago I made a thread ( http://www.enworld.org/forum/media-lounge-miscellaneous-geek-topics/266325-johnny-cash.html ) asking for help with a Johnny Cash playlist for my dad and now I'm back for suggestions for a new playlist.

This one's for myself. I like listening to the songs that tell stories. I know that you're probably thinking that all of his songs tell a story and I don't quite know how to define it. The best I can come up with is songs which you could tell to a small group of people in a bar without the music.

This is what I have so far.

A boy named Sue
One piece at a time
To beat the devil
Big bad John
I hung my head
Folsom Prison Blues

I've had to rip all my CD's again because I lost the portable harddrive with all the music on it. As I go through it I'll expand the list. Until that time, let me know if you have any candidates for the playlist.

I also like The Man Comes around, but that's not quite a story. Man in Black is also good.
