In 1955, a tough, skinny
guitar-slinger who called himself J.R. Cash walked into the soon-to-be-famous
Sun Studios in Memphis. It was a moment that would have an indelible effect on
American culture. With his driving freight-train chords, steel-eyed intensity
and a voice as deep and black as night, Cash sang blistering songs of heartache
and survival that were gutsy, full of real life and unlike anything heard
before. That day kicked off the electrifying early career of Johnny Cash. As he
pioneered a fiercely original sound that blazed a trail for rock, country, punk,
folk and rap stars to come, Cash began a rough-and-tumble journey of personal
transformation. In the most volatile period of his life, he evolved from a
self-destructive pop star into the iconic “Man in Black” – facing down his
demons, fighting for the love that would raise him up, and learning how to walk
the razor-thin line between destruction and redemption.
