Singer. Songwriter. With an unmistakable voice that resonates
with millions, lyrics that speak volumes in the span of three
minutes, and a career that lasted nearly five decades, Johnny
Cash was peerless in his style and had a vast influence on
country, folk, and rock music.
The legendary "Man in Black" (who originally wanted
to be a gospel singer) wrote his first hit record for Sam
Phillips at Sun Records in the 1950s...and in 2003 turned a Nine
Inch Nails song into one of the most deeply moving music videos
ever created. A man of uncommon grace and innate goodness,
Johnny Cash plied his gifts, fought his demons, and lived a life
that was his alone -- enjoying one of the great love stories of
the century with his wife, June, while somehow managing to leave
a little of himself with people all over the world.In Cash: An American Man, fans of his music are now
given a unique and personal glimpse into his life through
hundreds of photographs, private letters, handwritten lyrics,
his final interview given just three weeks before his death, and
other astonishing memorabilia -- a one-of-a-kind collection
fully authorized by the Johnny Cash Estate and created in
cooperation with his friend, confidant, and lifelong fan, Bill
Miller. |
