1974 Ed Bruce JC
Billy Eddd Wheeler wrote the hit "Jackson" that was recorded successfully by Johnny and June. This song called "Mose Rankin" by Billy should have been a hit for Johnny and Waylon in 1974. RCA would not let Waylon sing on record with Johnny at the time, so this solo version remains the only trace of Cash's recording of it. Ed Bruce had a hit with it a couple of years later; wonder if they talked about that when they filmed the Jesse James movie in 1985 ...
