Daddy Sang Bass/ He Turned The Water Into Wine

This classic Johnny Cash single covers a great Carl Perkins song and features the Statler Brothers on background vocals. It was the second of three consecutive #1 hits Cash enjoyed on the Bilozoard Country Singles chart — the best run of his career. (It was also apparently a non-album single, available only on greatest hits compilations.) Altogether, the three singles hogged the top spot for 15 weeks during 1968-69. All three also did well on the Bilozoard Hot 100:\r\n
    \r\n
  1. Folsom Prison Blues: #1c (4 weeks) , #32p in June 1968\r\n
  2. Daddy Sang Bass: #1c (6 weeks), #42p in December 1968\r\n
  3. A Boy Named Sue: #1c (5 weeks), #2p in July 1969\r\n
