Publisher's Summary

Johnny Cash was a poor sharecropper's son from Arkansas who became one of the most influential figures in American music. In the 1950s he embarked on a music career that took him to the heights of fame and wealth but also to the depths of addiction and despair. From these tensions Johnny Cash created haunting music, exploring the dark side of himself, and others, in a voice that sometimes sounded as old as the Grand Canyon. The Man Called Cash chronicles his career, his love for June Carter Cash, his struggles, and his triumphs. Johnny Cash put his soul into his music, drawing on his demons, his faith, his pain, and his joy to become, to many, the voice of truth.

What the Critics Say

"An affecting mosaic of oral history, poetry, and memoir concerning Cash himself, but also the era in which his music took root and thrived." (Publishers Weekly)
"In what may be the most admirable of its many achievements, it's as good as Cash deserves." (Rolling Stone)

    "A Mann Called Cash"

    Oddly to me, the book started slowly, covering Cash's early years, and the work he did before going into his recording career. These were the years I was interested in hearing about when I bought the recording, so I felt some initial disappointment. But once past his divorce from his first wife, the story and the writing really take off, and the promises of the book's cover notes are kept. This is a compelling tale of a mythological figure and it has the right mix legend and fact, forcefully told.

    "Great Story - poor reader"
    Would you listen to The Man Called Cash again? Why?

    Really not necessary to listen to it a second time. A great review of his life.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Man Called Cash?

    His final years following his relapse


    What do you think the narrator could have done better?

    Needed more inflection in his voice, seemed very mechanical


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    His relationship with Billy Graham

    "A must read for any country music fan"

    Whether you are a fan of Johnny Cash or of country music in general you will thoroughly enjoy this well read, easy to listen to biography. If you are not a Johnny Cash fan I think the chances are pretty good that you will become one after listening to this biography.
