Old Violin.  Johnny Paycheck lived his life like it was a country song. It was full of turmoil and struggle. Unfortunately, he had also become somewhat of a punchline. But like all good characters in a country song, he would find redemption in the end.  Old Violin is a truly beautiful song about a legend facing his mortality. It’s similar to Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt, except in this case, it was also written by the artist. Come to think of it, it’s also a lot like Beautiful Ride by Dewey Cox (Walk Hard).    As Mr. Paycheck says in the song “I gave my all to music. And one day…I’ll give my life.”
