Floyd Red Crow Westerman: Tribute Johnny Cash
I Think <b>Johnny Cash</b> would be especially proud of this tribute album. Not just because of his high regard for <b>Floyd Red Crow Westerman</b> or his own life-long identification with Native Americans and commitment to their cause, but because it is such a respectful, loving portrayal of the man s work. Floyd s deep, powerful voice resonates with the truth. I had no idea he could sound so much like John. - <b>Kris Kristofferson</b> <p> This CD features <b>Johnny Cash</b> songs performed by world renown Native American actor, singer, songwriter and advocate <b>Floyd Red Crow Westerman</b>, who is best remembered for his role as elder/leader Ten Bear in <b> Dances With Wolves </b>. His work and dedication have helped spread the American Indian Movement s message throughout the world. He has performed with countless musicians including <b>Willie Nelson</b>, <b>Kris Kristofferson</b>, <b>Jackson Brown</b>, <b>Bonnie Raitt</b>, <b>Joni Mitchell</b>, <b>John Trudell</b> and <b>Don Henley</b> in large benefit concerts for Indian self-determination, human rights and environmental protection. He toured the world with <b>Sting</b> to publicize the plight of the Rainforest and has been an ambassador of good will representing the International Indian Treaty Council. Floyd writes: Johnny Cash was very proud of his Cherokee heritage, and was a great supporter of American Indian issues. I had the great honor to meet and be on the same bill with Johnny Cash. It was a night to remember.
