JOHNNY CASH, A LONG WAY AROUND TO A LONESOME SOUND: PART 1
JOHNNY CASH, A LONG WAY AROUND TO A LONESOME SOUND: PART 1
In October of 2017, I had the opportunity to present a talk at a symposium as part of the Johnny Cash Heritage Festival held at Johnny Cash's childhood home in Dyess, Arkansas. While, the video recording is not available, this post summarizes the main points of the project which focuses on analyzing trends in Johnny Cash's lyrics and specific audio qualities in his music.
THE BEGINNING
In the summer of 2016 I started a much appreciated five-month parental leave from Spotify. My son and I quickly developed a routine, choose a playground or water park and in the morning, play hard until lunch, and crash for a few hours nap. It was during one my son's naps I had an idea.
Johnny Cash created music for across six decades and developed an enormous catalog of material. I decided, since I suddenly had so much free time, I would listen to all of Johnny Cash's commercially released albums in order of first release. It turns out there were a few albums I cou

About Me
My name is Vince Allen.
I grew up in Atlanta, GA. As an only child to parents who worked full time, I had a lot of time to myself. I had friends and have early memories of playing outside between houses in the suburbs until the sun went down. But when it did go down, I was fortunate to have some space of my own to focus and a healthy amount of uninterrupted time. Once I was in middle school, I gravitated towards three things, the early Internet, playing drums and running. Over time, these interests all competed with each other and branched off but were the start of the paths leading me through adulthood.
I graduated from Georgia State University. After college I tried making it work living in Atlanta. But eventually I moved to New York City in 1999 and lived in the Soho neighborhood in Manhattan for eight years.
I started working at Spotify in 2012 and celebrated my 10th year at the company in May 2022. I'm currently a Senior Engineering Manager working with teams building promotional products on the Spot
