Johnny Cash: The Life in Lyrics: The official, fully illustrated celebration of the Man in Black

A lot has rightly been written and said about Johnny Cash. After all, if American music is a constellation of stars, Cash is the universe. Like the Man, himself, those books often end up being a tale of contradictions - partly truth and partly fiction.If you thought everything about Johnny Cash had been said though or that what has been previously said was definitive, think again.This book focuses on the fact and leaves the fiction to others. If you are only going to own one book on Johnny Cash (besides Cash's excellent autobiography, "Cash"), this is the one, but that is no surprise when you read the "by" line and learn that foremost, Cashologist Mark Stielper wrote it. Stielper's insightful words draw on a bottomless reservoir of Cash history that even Cash marveled at, once saying that, "if you want to know what REALLY happened, ask Mark." Indeed, Stielper knew the Man and was present to watch the history he now recites as it was being made.Here, Stielper conducts a masterclass into Cash's life and songs as no one has done before. Through his lease, we see more clearly the ever before that Cash's lyrics WERE his life. Perhaps that is why if you always thought that Johnny Cash's lyrical writings rang true, they do. He was simply writing about the things he knew.If you have only ever LISTENED to Cash's words, this book is for you. Stripped of Cash's commanding voice and laid bare on the page, Cash's genius is even more impressive . . . if that is possible.There are also some things Cash's only son says too.Definitive. Defining. A book finally worthy of the majesty of Johnny Cash's legacy.

Era un regalo ed è stato molto apprezzato

It is interesting to get the context - personal in many instances - for several of the great Johnny Cash’s songs. It enables me to listen to them again, and this book is quite affordable considering how much information it offers.

GREAT PHOTOS AND STORIES
