This book is the first time that Johnny Cash's 60 years of songwriting have been collected in one place. Cash is one of the most beloved and influential country music stars of all time, having composed over 600 songs and perhaps best known for blending country, rock, blues, and gospel in his music, thereby initiating the countrypolitan and outlaw country movements. An essential collector's item that sheds new light on Cash's life and work, this oversized and lavishly designed book includes rare and never-before-seen visual materials, as well as stories and commentary from Cash's son John Carter Cash, Mark Stielper, the historian of the Cash and Carter families, and others. It will be released in the year of the twentieth anniversary of the legendary musician and is set to be a milestone in the music publishing industry. A deluxe limited edition will also be available. This release marks the first time that the Cash Estate has opened its archive to help lovers of his music understand his timeless songs in a new light and share the stories behind their creation. Public historian Dr. Brian Dempsey will oversee the visual contributions.
