Kaum ein anderer Musiker hat die Country-Musik so nachhaltig geprägt wie Johnny Cash: Mit über 500 Songs, mehr als 50 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern und 15 Grammy Awards ist er unbestritten der King of Country. Doch Ruhm und Erfolg bargen auch Schattenseiten: Alkohol- und Drogenabhängigkeit, Ehekrisen, Gewaltausbrüche. Seine Bühnenpartnerin und spätere Ehefrau June Carter blieb dennoch bis zu ihrem Tod an seiner Seite. Im Februar 2012 wäre Johnny Cash 80 Jahre alt geworden. In diesem Band bietet John Carter Cash, der einzige gemeinsame Sohn von Johnny und June, erstmals einen tiefen persönlichen Einblick in das Leben, die Arbeit und in die Gefühlswelt Johnny Cashs. Mit zahlreichen exklusiven Fotografien, Gedichten, Notizen, Briefen, Zeichnungen und Songtexten aus den Archiven seiner Familie zeichnet er ein intimes Porträt seines Vaters.
