Revisiting Johnny And June's "Jackson" With A Teenage Bangle And Her Beau

NEW YORK - Feb. 27, 2025 - PRLog -- Ton-Up Records is pleased to announce the release of the music video for Blood on The Saddle's version of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash's 1967 Grammy award-winning hit song, "Jackson."  Annette Zilinskas (Bass Player in The Bangles; Vocals/Guitar in Blood on the Saddle) was a teenager and a member of The Bangles, and guitar virtuoso Greg Davis was working on putting together his groundbreaking band when the duet was recorded in 1982.  "I wasn't even aware I had the song on tape," Davis said.

In the chapter Annette Zilinskas authored in John Doe's 2019 book "More Fun in the New World," she wrote, "I'd go over to his place regularly, and he'd play and I'd sing because he liked my voice." The video debuts today, February 27th, and is available on Blood on the Saddle's Official YouTube channel.

Annette Zilinskas provided her perspective into the early days of Blood on the Saddle through her cooperation in the recently released book "Eternal Flame: The Authorized Biography Of The Bangles."  Jackson is off the album "First Blood," the current release from Blood on the Saddle featuring rare gems and early recordings of some of their best-loved songs
