Splintered Nuptials: Johnny Cash, “Understand Your Man”
Essential Cash: On his first country #1 of 1964, The Man in Black lifts the melody from Bob Dylan’s, “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright,” and lobs damaged insults at his old lady with laser-guided precision. Cash spits, “You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army/ And everything else, I leave behind.” “Understand Your Man” is a long neglected kiss-off that should be enshrined in the marriage breakdown hall of fame — ain’t doomed love grand.
