Johnny Cash seemed like the stuff of legend when he was alive, and even more so as he achieved something close to sainthood in death. The interviews collected here bring us closer to the actual man: brilliant, falliable, introspective, and longing for redemption. Mythmaker, philosopher, sinner, and saint, Johnny Cash is perhaps the quintessential American icon. Though often rebellious and unruly, he rarely spoke without intention, sincerity, and a bit of poetry. Together with an introduction by music critic Peter Guralnick, the interviews here spotlight that inimitable rhetorical style, and the fascinating diversity of subjects that made him as relatable as he was mysterious. From a hopped up early interview with Pete Seeger, to a meditation on sobriety, to the last interview in which he stares calmly into the face of death, this collection brings together decades of insight as deeply profound as the unforgettable baritone of The Man in Black himself.

From Johnny Cash's childhood on an Arkansas cotton farm to his early years at Sun Records, this autobiography covers his life on the road and performances for world leaders. There is also the dark side of his life: amphetamines and pain killers, a suicide attempt and a spiritual awakening.

Johnny Cash: The Man in Black. Country music legend. The "quintessential American troubadour." An icon of rugged individualism whose journey from hell to redemption defined his life. In this unforgettable autobiography, the late Johnny Cash talks straight about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who have shaped him. In his own words, Cash sets the record straight--and dispels a few myths--as he looks unsparingly at his remarkable life. Here, too, are the friends of a lifetime, including Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Dr. Billy Graham. As powerful and memorable as his classic songs, Cash is filled with the candor, wit, and wisdom of a man who has truly "walked the line."
