Loading... Cash (1997)by Johnny Cash
None. I am glad I read this book, however, if it were anybody but Johnny Cash I would not have finished it. Too syrupy and religious for me. But I learned a lot about the man, his family, his friends, and his beliefs and I think I am better for it. ( )Facinating insight into the life of a legandary country singer. The one and only Johnny Cash. The man has done it all. I love how it meanders and wanders from decade to decade, story to story. Bringing up one person, leads him to remembering stories about 3 others. It just flows like one long conversation, a conversation that i wish i could have been apart of. But after reading this, feeling i have a better understanding of the Man in Black. Johnny Cash's story is thoroughly enjoyable. Instead of it being entirely about glorifying his musical career, you get a very personal glimpse into the his personal life detailing his family and those–within the music world and outside–who've helped him out along the way. A portrait is painted of his upbringing in the rural south, his search for meaning, a detour to the dark side, and ultimately getting in touch with himself and the earth. Very well-written and entirely worth it as this is one of the best autobiographies around. I enjoyed this book. He writes in a very relaxed, conversational tone. He tells truth as he sees it without it seeming as if he is gossipping. In fact, he tells most stories about himself. He is frank and open about his wrongful trek into drug abuse. He is also open about his faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour. I really like that. I hope to meet him, one day, in Heaven. no reviews | add a review
