EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK

In 1956, Cash released Get Rhythm, and the single climbed as high as number 23 on Billboards Hot Country Singles chart. It was originally released as the B-side to Cashs even more successful single, I Walk the Line, and then became the title track of a compilation album released in 1969.

According to Ezine Articles, its believed that it was written for Elvis Presley (Best Johnny Cash Songs). Get Rhythm is often recognized as one of Cashs most upbeat songs that centers around optimism, but this reading of the song may be overly simplistic, however, since the songs story of a young African American shoeshine may be read as bringing up some sensitive racial issues (Ezine Articles, Best Johnny Cash Songs). In writing about this song, Alice Randall poses the question: Racist, racialist, or race appreciating? You decide. Maybe the grinning boy hides something worth knowing in his mask as well as behind his mask (Amazon, My Country Roots: The Ultimate MP3 Guide to Americas Original Outside Music).
