Cash On Cash

Cash on Cash offers unprecedented insight into one of the most significant American cultural figures of the 20th century. As an interviewee, Cash was an exemplary communicator: open and articulate, part friend, part spiritual authority, part flawed hero. Throughout his career, as Cash took risks, embracing new technologies, formats, and attitudes, he cleaved to a simple, core message of unvarnished truth. A comprehensive collection of Johnny Cash interviews, some widely published and others never previously transcribed, from the 1950s through the early days of the new millennium, Cash on Cash charts a singular evolution. From hardscrabble Arkansas boyhood to rockabilly roustabout; international fame to drug addiction and disgrace; born again Christian to chronicler of spiritual darkness; TV and movie star to Nashville reject; redemption to loss and back again, Cash's story, told in his own words, shines unfiltered light on a journey of archetypal proportions that resonates still.
