Should be on the recommendation list

I was never what you would call a big Johnny Cash fan just really liked his video Hurt, but this is an excellent story. The reader's voice also matches the story to a T. I can't write a review that does the book justice, but if you want to listen to a biography that follows a life of ups and downs with no regrets, learn about a man of faith who knew he was a sinner and knew the true power of Christianity not the hypocritical, religious right version that has become so vogue these days, then this is a worthy listen. You don't have to be a fan of country music in order to gain from this book, if you like to read books on success, or on how to make a comeback you can't get much better than this one. Mr. Cash was certainly a man who took what talent he had and made the most of it.

Not bad

I love Johnny Cash and so, I enjoyed listening to this book and hearing about how Cash grew up, how he went in and made it into the field of music. I also enjoy hearing about how he created certain songs and on his relationship with other sings such as Elvis. With that said, though, I know the narrator was a close friend of his, but his voice practically put me to sleep.

good book

loved it. Great story Great narrative. Great look at the life of the man in black

Excellent bio. Great reader.

Terrific bio loaded with fascinating stories. Loved hearing Kris read it. Sorry to learn (at the end) it is the abridged version.

You will laugh out loud and cry in public.

Beautifully written book, inspirational, emotional, insightful, challenging. This was a well-balanced presentation have a complex man that few knew well. No sugar coating the ugly parts comma no glorification of the good. Beauty from pain.
