(1990)"Boom Chicka Boom" is an
album by Americancountry music iconJohnny Cash , released in 1990 (see1990 in music ) onMercury Records . The title refers to the sound that Cash's backing band, theTennessee Three were said to produce. It includes a cover ofHarry Chapin 's "Cat's in the Cradle ", and a song written byElvis Costello for Cash, "Hidden Shame." "Don't Go Near the Water" had previously been recorded for "Ragged Old Flag ", and discusses the issue ofpollution of the environment.
