Question: What top 40 hit was written by the noted "The Moonshiner" performer and was covered by many artists including Robert Plant and Johnny Cash?
Context: Wildwood Flower is the last solo album from June Carter Cash.  It was released in 2003 on the Dualtone record label, four months after her death and only a few days before the death of Johnny Cash, who provides backing vocals, making this the final release of his lifetime.  It was produced by their son, John Carter Cash.  The album's opening track, "Keep on the Sunny Side" was a Carter Family anthem that June Carter Cash had previously recorded twice with Johnny Cash: for the 1964 Carter Family album of the same title, and for the 1974 Johnny Cash album "The Junkie and the Juicehead Minus Me".  "The Road to Kaintuck", written by June, had previously been recorded by her husband on several occasions for Columbia Records.  The medley of "Church in the Wildwood"/"Lonesome Valley" had been a regular part of Johnny Cash concerts in the 1970s. Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash are an Americana/alternative country band led by singer and songwriter Mark Stuart.  The band formed in San Diego, California in 1995.  They received permission to use Johnny Cash's name by Cash himself and were then personally invited to record songs for their first CD "Walk Alone" at Cash's home in Hendersonville, Tennessee.  The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash have opened for Merle Haggard, and Willie Nelson at his annual 4th of July concert, and shared the stage with such notables as Buck Owens, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, George Jones, and Steve Earle.  Their music has recently found more exposure on the HBO hit television series "True Blood" and "Joan of Arcadia", and their four albums have all spent time at the top of the worldwide Americana charts. James Timothy Hardin (December 23, 1941 – December 29, 1980) was an American folk musician and composer.  He wrote the Top 40 hit "If I Were a Carpenter", covered by, among others, Bobby Darin, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, The Four Tops, Robert Plant, and Johnny Rivers; his song "Reason to Believe" has also been covered by many artists, notably Rod Stewart (who had a chart hit with the song), Neil Young, and The Carpenters.  Hardin is also known for his own recording career. Water from the Wells of Home is the 75th album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Mercury Records in 1988 (see 1988 in music).  It features several collaborations with other artists, including "New Moon Over Jamaica" with Paul McCartney.  Other guests include Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr., Glen Campbell, Emmylou Harris and family members Rosanne Cash, John Carter Cash, June Carter Cash and members of the Carter Family. " Call Me the Breeze" is a J. J. Cale song that had been previously covered by Lynyrd Skynyrd. " Ballad of a Teenage Queen" is a new recording of a song that had appeared on Cash's Sun era album "Sings the Songs That Made Him Famous".  The album did not fare well on the charts, peaking at No. 48; the two singles, "Ballad of a Teenage Queen" and "That Old Wheel", reached No. 45 and No. 21, respectively.  A 2003 re-release of the album contained a bonus track, consisting of Johnny Cash discussing various songs on the album. Kenneth Jones (1952–1969), was the son of Helen Myrl Carter (of country music's Carter Family) and of Glenn Jones.  He is best remembered for a song he wrote called "Sing A Traveling Song" which appeared on Johnny Cash's albums "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" and "Johnny Cash at Madison Square Garden".  Kenneth was Cash's nephew-in-law.  Cash's second wife, June Carter Cash, was Helen's sister.  Kenneth, or Kenny as he was also known, wrote many songs and was a talented musician.  At the time of his death he was under contract with Monument Records and appeared destined for a highly successful career.  Following his death the Carter Family recorded one of his songs, "2001 Ballad to the Future".  A few have noted the lyrics as being eerily prophetic of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States which took place more than thirty years after the song was written. The Principle of Moments is the second solo studio album by the English singer Robert Plant, formerly of Led Zeppelin.  It was Plant's second Top 10 album in the US and UK.  It also gave him his first solo Top 40 hit with "Big Log".  The most popular track on album-oriented rock radio in the US was "Other Arms", which reached number-one on the "Billboard" Top Tracks chart.  Genesis' drummer Phil Collins played drums for six of the album's eight songs (as he did on "Pictures at Eleven").  On the other two tracks former Jethro Tull drummer Barriemore Barlow performed. "The Moonshiner" is a folk song with disputed origins.  It is catalogued as Roud Folk Song Index No. 4301.  Some believe that the song originated in America, then later was made famous in Ireland.  Others believe that it was the other way around.  The Clancy Brothers stated on their recording that the song is of Irish origin, but again, this is disputed.  Delia Murphy was singing it in Ireland from the late 1930s.  American country music singer Tex Ritter is famous for a song of similar tune and lyrics by the title "Jack of Diamonds" from as early as 1933.  Bob Dylan recorded "Moonshiner" in 1963; this version was released on "The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991".  The song has also been performed by Elliott Smith, Cat Power, Rumbleseat, Cast Iron Filter, Peter Rowan, Railroad Earth, Bob Forrest, Roscoe Holcomb, Uncle Tupelo, Jeffrey Foucault, The Tallest Man On Earth, Tim Hardin, Charlie Parr, Punch Brothers, Redbird, Sons of an Illustrious Father, Robert Francis, Scorpios, Ekoostik Hookah, Moriarty and Ben Holland. J. J. Blair is a musical engineer, producer and musician who has worked with such artists as Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Rod Stewart and The Who.  Blair produced and engineered June Carter Cash's 1999 Grammy Award-winning album "Press On".  Blair was an engineer on Johnny Cash's 2005 box set "The Legend" and all of the first three Great American Songbook albums by Rod Stewart.  Blair has also engineered songs for many artists, including Weezer, George Benson, Smokey Robinson, Unwritten Law, Lee Dewyze, Kelly Clarkson, P. Diddy, The Black Eyed Peas, Ryan Adams, Bird York, Stephen Bishop, David Cassidy, Melissa Etheridge and others. "Little Green Apples" is a song written by Bobby Russell.  Originally written for and released by American recording artist Roger Miller in 1968, it also was released as a single by American recording artists Patti Page and O. C. Smith in separate occasions that same year.  Miller's version became a Top 40 hit on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart and on the UK Singles Chart, while Page's version became her last Hot 100 entry and Smith's version became a No. 2 hit on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart.  The song earned Russell two Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Best Country Song.  In 2013, "Little Green Apples" was covered by English recording artist Robbie Williams featuring American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, which became a top 40 hit in Mexico. Hello, I'm Johnny Cash is the 33rd album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1970 (see 1970 in music).  "If I Were a Carpenter", a famous duet with Cash's wife, June Carter Cash, earned the couple a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1971 (see Grammy Awards of 1971); the song also reached No. 2 on the Country charts.  This album also includes "To Beat the Devil", the first Kris Kristofferson song covered by Cash; the two would later collaborate numerous times, most famously on "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down".  "See Ruby Fall" and "Blistered" were also released as singles, and the album itself reached No. 1 on the country charts and No. 6 on the pop charts.  It was certified Gold on 1/29/1970 by the R.I.A.A.  The album has been released on CD (Sony Music, Original Album Classics, along with "The Johnny Cash Show" and "Man In Black") and it has been made available on official download sites.  This album is not to be confused with a best-of cd that has the same name.
