He was the "Man in Black," a country music legend, and the quintessential American troubadour. He was an icon of rugged individualism who had been to hell and back, telling the tale as never before. In his unforgettable autobiography, Johnny Cash tells the truth about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who shaped him. In his own words, Cash set the record straight -- and dispelled a few myths -- as he looked unsparingly at his remarkable life: from the joys of his boyhood in Dyess, Arkansas to superstardom in Nashville, Tennessee, the road of Cash's life has been anything but smooth. Cash writes of the thrill of playing with Elvis, the comfort of praying with Billy Graham; of his battles with addiction and of the devotion of his wife, June; of his gratitude for life, and of his thoughts on what the afterlife may bring. Here, too, are the friends of a lifetime, including Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Kris Kristofferson. As powerful and memorable as one of his classic songs, Cash is filled with the candor, wit, and wisdom of a man who truly "walked the line." Review: Well written - I bought Cash: The Autobiography as a gift for my boyfriend, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. He found it both incredibly informative and genuinely engaging from start to finish. The way the story is told really draws you in, making it easy to stay interested while learning so much more about Johnny Cash’s life, career, and personal journey. He especially enjoyed how honest and personal the book feels. It gives a deeper look into not only the music and fame, but also the struggles, growth, and experiences that shaped him as a person. It’s the kind of book that keeps you turning the pages because it feels less like reading facts and more like hearing the story directly from Cash himself. Overall, it made a wonderful gift and was very well received. If you’re looking for something meaningful for a fan of music biographies or Johnny Cash, this is a thoughtful and captivating read. Review: Good read - One of two books I've read by Johnny Cash. If you're a fan, it's a must read.

Nice to find out the real story about the man in black.
I found this book to be what I was looking for and that is the truth about the life of Johnny Cash. He was an interesting person who led an interesting life. It is obvious he was blessed with musical talent and used it to make a living. I was pleased to read that Mr. Cash was never in prison. If you want to know other interesting facts about this music legend read this lengthy book. You will be glad you did.

Great book
Also ich bin total begeistert von dem Buch und kann es nur jedem empfehlen. Die Art und Weiße, wie Johnny Cash höchstpersönlich über sein Leben berichtet, ist sehr gut und hat mich sehr berührt. Man hat wirklich das Gefühl einen kleinen Einblick in das Leben dieses faszinierenden Mannes und Musikers zu bekommen. Auch, dass das Buch weniger eine durchgängige Lebensgeschichte als vielmehr kleine Anekdoten aus seinem bisherigen Leben sind, stört in keinster weiße. Für non native speakers ist diese Buch gut zu verstehen, solange man gute Grundkenntnisse in Englisch hat. Also nicht zögern und zugreifen! Es lohnt sich wirklich!

Great! Anche per italiani ;-)
E' un bellissimo libro che ti permette di ricreare l'atmosfera di una conversazione con l'autore, Mr. Cash! E' molto scorrevole e adatto anche a chi non ha una conoscenza perfetta dell'inglese. Uno storyteller incredibile!
