Johnny Cash Livres

Soubor Slova pro věčnost (Forever Words) přináší Cashovy neznámé básnické a písňové texty z nejrůznějších údobí. Sám autor je nezhudebnil anebo nenahrál; po vydání této knihy to však za něj s úctou udělali jiní: v dubnu 2018 vyšla nahrávka, kde se textů z Forever Words ujali Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello anebo Chris Cornell. Právě Cornellova píseň Rusty Cage vyšla na jedné z American Recordings a patří k posledním Cashovým nahrávkám; shodou okolností Cornellova účast na Forever Words patřila zase k posledním nahrávkám tohoto zpěváka. „Muž v černém byl také neuvěřitelně plodný básník, který za sebe rád nechal mluvit tužku... V jeho poezii se prolínají láska, smrtelnost, závislost, humor, duchovnost, bolest, úžas, naděje, zármutek, svoboda a odevzdanost – právě tak jako v jeho písních – ve snaze vytvořit co nejvěrnější portrét jeho skutečného já.“ Will Hodge, Rollingstone.com Převážně souběžný anglický text.

Johnny Cash seemed like the stuff of legend when he was alive, and even more so as he achieved something close to sainthood in death. The interviews collected here bring us closer to the actual man: brilliant, falliable, introspective, and longing for redemption. Mythmaker, philosopher, sinner, and saint, Johnny Cash is perhaps the quintessential American icon. Though often rebellious and unruly, he rarely spoke without intention, sincerity, and a bit of poetry. Together with an introduction by music critic Peter Guralnick, the interviews here spotlight that inimitable rhetorical style, and the fascinating diversity of subjects that made him as relatable as he was mysterious. From a hopped up early interview with Pete Seeger, to a meditation on sobriety, to the last interview in which he stares calmly into the face of death, this collection brings together decades of insight as deeply profound as the unforgettable baritone of The Man in Black himself.

A treasure-trove of never-before-published poems and songs from the legendary Johnny Cash

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."
