Johnny Cash – Bitter Tears (Ballads of the American Indian)
In 1964 Johnny Cash released the often-overlooked, protest masterpiece, “Bitter Tears Ballads of the American Indian)”. Feeding off of pop culture’s desire for protest songs, Cash teamed up with Peter La Farge, a Native American songwriter, to write and record 8 cohesive folk songs focusing on historical struggles of the American Indians.
