Description

To millions, he was the rebellious Man in Black, the unabashed patriot, the redeemed Christian-the king of country music. But Johnny Cash (1932-2003) was also an uncertain country boy whose dreams were born in the cotton fields of Arkansas and who struggled his entire life with a guilt-ridden childhood, addictions, and self-doubt. Johnny Cash: The Biography explores many often overlooked aspects of the legend's life and career, uncovering the origins of his songwriting and trademark boom-chicka-boom rhythm and delving into the details of his personal life, including his drug dependency, which dogged him long after many thought he'd beaten it. Scrupulously researched, passionately told, Johnny Cash: The Biography is the unforgettable portrait of an enduring American icon.

Media Reviews

"The strength of Michael Streissguth's biography is that instead of attempting to dig up any new revelations or recast Cash in yet another guise, he delves deeper into those we have already witnessed... The author's dedication to his subject is both clear and clear-sighted, and despite having been admitted to the inner sanctum of family and lifelong friends, he consistently refuses to let Cash off the hook." ****Time Out London "(A)n honest account that sets Cash's achievements in the context of his troubled life." The Independent "Michael Streissguth delves deep into what made the Man in Black tick with the excellent Johnny Cash: The Biography". Metro"
