His American Recording first single was about murdering his fiance, which is kinda interesting given he continued to have great success.

Anyways - why do you love Johnny Cah, and what is your favourite late (American Rec.) album of his? Personally I think he got the best ombination of his own talent and guest contribution in American III.

He continued to record songs till he died, being blind and immobile, as well as after his wife and his life's love, June, died. He was a real inspirational fucker who didn't give up til death took him.

When he died, some guys started a project that would allow fans to animate a music video for his final recorded song. This is the result.

He's the essential man of all working men

Even my dad who lives a continent away from Johnny's presence, in a post-Soviet hell-hole, owns multiple Cash T-shirts, and he isn't alone among his friends.

Trent himself said he lost the rights to that song to Johnny.

But it's really sad people prefer that cover over his better songs.

I mean it's weird the "God will cut you down" video didn't end up more successful given it featured pretty much every relevant celebrity at the time.

Johnny Cash was a major supporter of Bob Dylan during his experimenal electronic era. Also Cash and Dylan wrote together the "I've been everywhere, man" musical sketch

Also Johnny Cash played alongside Elvis during his early career, and spent some time making Elvis impersonations.
