Description
“How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.”- Johnny Cash
Each song/story provides a calibrated insight into the unparalleled drama of a life fully lived and a career fully exploited; resilience, fortitude, love, compassion, rebellion and soul-searching. Cash spoke for the condemned and his redeemer, the downtrodden coal miner, the hopeless romantic, the junkie and the righteous man. He bucked the system and created his signature persona – the Man in Black. The statement was loud and strong: Johnny Cash plays by his own rules.
