The Inspiration of the Song

“Daddy Sang Bass” is a Johnny Cash-inspired country gospel song. It was Carl Perkins a longtime friend and partner of Cash on the road, who penned the lyrics. Its composition came about as a result of a life-changing experience. It has been known that Cash and Perkins had their own battles with drug addiction and alcoholism, respectively. But finding spiritual enlightenment, Cash turned to God all at once. That helped him curb his addiction. Moved by his partner’s transformation, Perkins penned the tune “Daddy Sang Bass.” It went on to become Cash’s 61st top hit on the country chart in 1968. The following year, Perkins recorded his own version of it on his album Greatest Hits. The record cracked the Billboard Country Album chart‘s Top 40 that same year.
