The national–bestselling biography on the country singer and songwriter known as “The Man in Black.”In this, the definitive biography of an American legend, Robert Hilburn conveys the unvarnished truth about a musical superstar. Johnny Cash’s extraordinary career stretched from his days at Sun Records with Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis to the remarkable creative last hurrah, at age 69, that resulted in the brave, moving “Hurt” video.As music critic for the Los Angeles Times, Hilburn knew Cash throughout his life: he was the only music journalist at the legendary Folsom Prison concert in 1968, and he interviewed both Cash and his wife June Carter just months before their deaths. Drawing upon a trove of never-before-seen material from the singer’s inner circle, Hilburn creates an utterly compelling, deeply human portrait of a towering figure in country music, a seminal influence in rock, and an icon of American popular culture. Hilburn's reporting shows the astonishing highs and deep lows that marked the journey of a man of great faith and humbling addiction who throughout his life strove to use his music to lift people's spirits.“Hilburn has written a brilliant story of an even more brilliant songwriter, warts and all.” —Keith Richards“The ultimate Johnny Cash biography . . . Rock writer great Robert Hilburn goes deep.” —Rolling Stone“Veteran music writer Hilburn . . . masterfully separates fiction from fact in an exhaustive, but never exhausting, biography of the legendary musician...The personal knowledge aided by extensive archival research and always compelling, accessible writing makes this an instant-classic music biography with something to offer all generations of listeners.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

I loved Johnny Cash so it was fabulous reading a good-sized book covering his life. Only knowing the basics of his life before reading his son's book and this one, I previously thought from watching Walk the Line that he kicked drugs for good early in life. I appreciated finding it was a life-long struggle. Pills are hard to quit, I know from experience. He was such a fascinating person, aside from his artistry--which, of course, was amazing. He must have felt so torn all his life between following the tenets of his Christian faith and living the life of a legend on tour with the constant temptations of women and drugs. Add to that losing his brother so young and his father's criticism and...well, it wasn't easy. But life isn't easy. It's a struggle and I like knowing someone like Johnny Cash was as human as me.I found the beginning and end of the book compelling reading. The end was particularly evocative, beautiful and sad. In between, I found myself skimming a fair amount, particularly quoted reviews of Johnny Cash albums and quoted song lyrics--which I didn't think advanced the life story much. I liked the details of how his classic songs were put together, but I wasn't too much interested in the details of the songs that were lesser known. I think if the author would have gotten rid of 20% of the manuscript, always asking himself if what he was writing significantly added to or was necessary to our knowledge and understanding of Johnny Cash's life, this would have been a excellent book versus very good.I recommend this if you are a fan. You will get plenty of details.
