This is the definitive biography of music legend, Johnny Cash by the leading authority on the star. This major new biography will fully and engagingly document the career 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. It will be the first full-length biography of Johnny Cash since Christopher Wren's was published more than 30 years ago. Michael Streissguth, author of "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison" and "Ring of Fire" is the leading authority on Cash, and is well positioned to make this the definitive book on the star. Propelling the work will be the author'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. 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. Coming in the same year as the Oscar-nominated "Walk the Line", starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reece Witherspoon, "Johnny Cash: The Biography" will be a must-read for new fans who have recently discovered the 'man in black' through the film, as well as those who have loved his music for years.
