Legendary Sherwin Linton and wife, Pamela perform on Saturday
From the Dunn County (WI) News
Forty-eight years into his career, Sherwin Linton is still singing the songs of Elvis, Marty Robbins, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Johnny Cash with the same vitality that made them classics.
Linton will perform his own original hits, a tribute to Johnny Cash and a variety of traditional country, gospel and cowboy songs, on Saturday, Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. at the Mabel Tainter Theater.
With the release of his new CD, "It Happened In America," and the re-release of the classic 70s tribute "Hello, I'm Not Johnny Cash," Linton has developed new fans across the country. His tribute to "the man in black," recorded live at the South Dakota penitentiary, was recognized by Johnny Cash as "...greatest honor that an artist has ever paid me."
In recent years, Linton has been inducted into the South Dakota Musicians' Hall of Fame, the National Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. He continues to receive industry awards and recognition for his many achievements.
