One of the best for Johnny Cash fans. Rosanne wrote intro only
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is factual, well written and a must to fans. I do have to say that Rosanne Cash is not the author. She wrote the introduction. A beautiful one, I might add. She is an incredible writer and does have books out of her own, however, this book was put out by Rolling Stone. Great book.

Outstanding book for the Johnny Cash fan, as well as interesting and enjoyable for the non-fan. Lots of concert photos in addition to wonderful family photos, which give you a real sense of who Johhny was. The text is both in-depth and interesting, most enjoyable to read. Loved it!
Variety of Perspective

The value of this book is in the perspective afforded by the compilation format. Included are chapters taken from articles formerly published in Rolling Stone magazine, chapters pulled from Johnny's autobiography and numerous other sources. I've got all of the Rolling Stone articles but bought the book so I could have it all together in one source. Not all of the writing is top notch, but there are plenty of gems to be found. A generous sampling of photographs are provided also. I'm being generous with the 5 star rating - it's probably worth a solid 4 but the subject adds a bonus in itself.
Decent & informative.

Outside of Cash's own autobiographies, most of the biographies dealing with Johnny Cash are none too good. This one isn't really detailed enough but it's good for quick info and the articles from Rolling Stone are very well written. Definitly worth a look if you're a Cash fan.
