Johnny Cash: A Veteran and Legendary Musician (Country Music Legends) (Unabridged‪)‬

While the age of the mythical, ethereal musician fades with each new generation, Johnny Cash resided in American culture for more than 40 years as a folk legend. Steeped in the gospel, his tale always had the qualities of prophecy and retribution. Some remember Cash as a slack-jawed ballad master who took on issues like civil rights, sovereignty, and social justice. Others recall his youth as a folk outcast who sang the lord’s music during the day and trashed hotel rooms at night. No matter which way you take it, Cash defined the word enigma. From selling more than 90 million records worldwide to introducing a diverse array of live music to America at the beginning of the age of television, Cash didn’t just walk the line, he pushed it.
