Editorial Review:
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."
Cash: The Autobiography Reviews:
Good 
2009-11-30 - Interesting read. Lots of details I never knew. If you're a casual Cash fan this is well worth the read. Good book.
Excellent condition 
2009-09-10 - The book was in better condition than described and i will order from this vendor again.
Johnny Cash autobiography
2009-01-27 - This is a great book; I can't wait to finish it and share it with my friends and family. It came very fast and buying it was so simple.
Great storyteller, enjoy at your leisure
2009-01-21 - Had Johnny Cash never picked up a guitar or sung a word, this book would still be a well told story of a bygone American life. Cash grew up picking cotton in an America he's both grateful to be past but remiss to see disappear. In total, this book reads like an afternoon spent with a genial storyteller who likes to pluck out memories at leisure, telling a lifetime's worth of stories out of sequence.
His candid confession to past wrongs and misdeeds make him a compelling narrator not just for his candor, but for the details he's willing to share. This book is better than the movie "Walk The Line," and it adds a deeper understanding to the themes Cash wrote into his songs.
Hello, this is Johnny Cash
2009-01-12 - Pull up a comfortable chair and hot cup of java and spend a few hours listening to the man himself tell you about various aspects of his life. Funny, sad and frightening it's all here. You will get to know a J. R. and his life on an intimate level far beyond the songs he wrote.
It's an excellent read.
