He was the "Man in Black," a country music legend, and the quintessential American troubadour. He was an icon of rugged individualism who had been to hell and back, telling the tale as never before. In his unforgettable autobiography, Johnny Cash tells the truth about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who shaped him. In his own words, Cash set the record straight -- and dispelled a few myths -- as he looked unsparingly at his remarkable life: from the joys of his boyhood in Dyess, Arkansas to superstardom in Nashville, Tennessee, the road of Cash's life has been anything but smooth.

As powerful and memorable as one of his classic songs, Cash is filled with the candor, wit, and wisdom of a man who truly "walked the line."

"Ich trage immer noch schwarz, und es hat noch eine Bedeutung für mich. Es ist immer noch mein Symbol der Rebellion gegen den Stillstand und die Verlogenheit, gegen Leute, die sich fremden Ideen gegenüber verschließen." (eigenes Zitat).§§Als berühmtester Country-Sänger aller Zeiten war Johnny Cash bereits zu Lebzeiten eine Legende. Mit Cash legte der stets unangepasste Country-Rebell 1997 seine Memoiren vor. Fesselnd und mit der ihm eigenen Ehrlichkeit beschreibt er darin die vielen Facetten seines bewegten Lebens. §§Schonungslos und offen schildert der "Man In Black" auch die Schattenseiten seiner Karriere. In unvergleichlicher Manier räumt Cash dabei mit einigen Mythen auf. Seine Lebenserinnerungen vermitteln vielfältige Einblicke von dem Menschen, der sich hinter der Legende verbirgt. Das Buch fasziniert und liest sich wie ein klassischer Cash-Song: aufrichtig, humorvoll und weise. Es ist ein außergewöhnliches Dokument zur populären Musik. §
