Issued on CD for the first time in 2006, this 1975 outing finds country legend Johnny Cash offering up a charming set of kid-oriented songs. Many of the tracks sound like other Johnny Cash classics, albeit with the Man in Black singing about dinosaurs (the whimsical "Dinosaur Song") and bears (the jaunty "Tiger Whitehead") rather than heartbreak and prison. This CD is by no means a novelty recording, the disc is actually better than some of Cash's regular albums from the 1970s, making it ideal for his devoted fans, as well as kids and their parents. CD includes 4 previously unreleased tracks. booklet features new liner notes by June Carter Cash .com As foreboding a figure as Johnny Cash was, his son John Carter Cash writes in liner notes to this excellent CD, he was also a big kid: "a fun-loving, easygoing, laughing man." That's not to say he was more inclined to skateboard over the line than to walk it, only that given his mesmerizing voice and his gift for storytelling, he had an enviable way of relating to kids. Thirty years on, parents who pick up this disc will find not a lot has changed: In 15 songs never before released on CD--four of which are bonus tracks not included on the 1975 classic--the Man in Black melds the silly with the sweet, the madcap with the meaningful, and emerges as a country-folk Pied Piper any kid would kill to have for an uncle. "Nasty Dan," the opener, will be familiar not only to those who grew up singing along to the original LP, but also to subsequent generations of "Sesame Street" watchers (Oscar duets on a later version). But for most, the rest will arrive as pure revelation. "Old Shep," a dog song, deserves placement on a disc of classic pet tributes, if such a thing exists; "Tiger Whitehead" treads fearlessly through wild bear territory; "Ah Bos Cee Dah" is nonsensical noodling with the language at its most brilliant; and "I Got a Boy and His Name Is John," a duet with the great June Carter Cash, steers the modern listener to a long-lost place where love of family was enough for a kid to get by on. --Tammy La Gorce ## Images ![The Johnny Cash Children's Album - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810yEdrMjfL.jpg) ![The Johnny Cash Children's Album - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Kvkqra9fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A different children's album, but typical of Johnny Cash *by P***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2011* The first thing to say about this album is that it is a very typical Johnny Cash album in many ways, the only difference being that the songs are intended to appeal to children. However, no attempt was made to adapt the music in any way to encourage children to listen to it by (for example) recruiting a children's choir to provide vocal backing, even though Johnny Cash occasionally did that on his other recordings. For myself, I'm very happy to listen to this album, but I can understand why some people have a problem with the inclusion of Old Shep. This classic song with a sad ending, originally recorded by Red Foley but later covered by Elvis Presley, at first glance doesn't really seem to be a suitable choice for a children's album. I love this song and Johnny does full justice to it. Actually, most of the song is fairly upbeat as it is about the pleasure the dog gives to his owner. Perhaps that was why Johnny included the song on this album.Irrespective of whether Old Shep should be included, there is a lot to like about this album. Originally recorded between 1971 and 1973 and released in January 1975 with 11 tracks, the re-issue comes with four bonus tracks. The recording dates for those are not given, but they were probably recorded during the same period. Johnny Cash wrote many of the songs himself. Apart from Old Shep, the only familiar song is Grandfather's clock, which is one of the previously unreleased tracks. So you won't hear the same old songs that you'll find on other children's albums, except perhaps Grandfather's clock.There is a great song about a girl or young woman (Miss Tara) with a life to look forward to, but while it won't offend anybody, it has no obvious appeal to children. However, there are plenty of those including Nasty Dan, I got a boy and his name is John (with June Carter), Little magic glasses and Dinosaur song among them.There is one nonsense song here, Why is a fire engine red? It uses punnery at its worst, ending up by explaining that Russians are red, and that fire engines are always rushing, so that's why they're red. Well, I guess the children might enjoy that more than I do, but it is one of the bonus tracks. It's not difficult to see why it was omitted from the original album.A classic Johnny Cash album in many ways, I give it five stars because I love it, but if you're considering this for children and you're worried about the inclusion of Old Shep, knock a star or two off the rating. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My 9 year grandson loves Johnny Cash! *by M***2 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2022* I bought this for my grandson since he loves Johnny Cash! He listens to his music and has watched documentaries on his life, etc. I'm sure he will love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A pleasant surprise! *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2006* I didn't know what to expect from this album but was pleasantly surprised. In fact, it has become one of my favorite Johnny Cash albums (the others being American IV, American V, Live at Folsom Prison, and Bitter Tears). A few of the songs are, perhaps, forgettable, but many of the others are catchy and down-right fun. "Nasty Dan" makes me smile whenever I hear it. "I Got a Boy" is both funny and sweet. I find the tune of "Ah Bos Cee Dah" often runs through my mind. "Why is a Fire Engine Red" is just plain silly but enjoyable.But parents should be aware: Johnny's dark side does peak out at times. "Old Shep," about a boy and his dog (who dies) is very sad, perhaps even disturbing, and "Tiger Whitehead" tells the story of a man who hunts bears. That might not be very PC in this day and age; I have a feeling it's a song that would have been more appreciated by parents and kids back in the days when Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone were heroes.Anyway, I highly recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3770782-the-johnny-cash-childrens-album](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3770782-the-johnny-cash-childrens-album) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
