This is the definitive biography of music legend Johnny Cash
by the leading authority on the star. This major new biography is a
full and frank account of the late country legend Johnny Cash
1932-2003, an artist who ranks with Elvis Presley and Frank
Sinatra as one of the 20th century''s major singers. Written by
Michael Streissguth, a leading authority on the singer, and the
author of "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison" and "Ring of Fire", it is
the first full-length biography of Johnny Cash since Christopher
Wren''s was published more than 30 years ago. This biography is
unauthorized - though written with the full backing of Cathy Cash
Cash''s daughter from his first marriage - and provides a far more
rounded view of the singer than previous books such "A Man Called
Cash", which stops short at the final stage of his life, and Cash''s
autobiography which has many gaps. Although a fan of Cash,
Streissguth is not afraid to approach the less romantic side of his
subject. The book is propelled by Streissguth''s unrivalled
knowledge of his subject as well as thorough research, including
interviews with individuals close to Cash throughout his life,
visits to key locations Arkansas, Memphis, Nashville, and
examination of archives, such as those of Sony Music and the
Country Music Foundation. "Johnny Cash: The Biography" is a
must-read for new fans who have recently discovered the ''man in
black'' through the Oscar-nominated film Walk the Line, as well as
those who have loved his music for years.
