DESCRIPTION:
His authenticity, love for God and family, and unassuming persona are what Steve Turner captures with passion and focus in this inspiring book.Different from other books written about him, The Man Called CASH brings Cash's faith and love for God into the foreground and tells the story of a man redeemed, without watering-down or sugar-coating. While he was an icon to people of all ages during his life, Cash's legacy continues after his death. The Man Called CASH will be a huge success with his millions of fans and will draw in many new fans with this inspiring story of faith and redemption..
. The result is an affecting mosaic of oral history, poetry and memoir—concerning Cash himself, but also the era in which his music took root and thrived. Turner's interviews with Cash's family and friends are excellent, and tidbits such as Cash's reasons for wearing the famous black are priceless, but at times it feels like Turner is just guessing, as we all must, how this American legend really felt and what his life was like. Musical biographer Turner (Conversations with Clapton, etc.) leans heavily on interviews with Cash fans such as Larry Gatlin and Kris Kristofferson (who pens the foreword) and on quotations from songs Cash wrote, sang or both.

A look into the man's soul Just finished my second time through this (this time, listened to it on Audiobook), and was again fascinated with masterful telling of Johnny Cash's life story. This book is really more of a spiritual biography than a recounting of days, dates, times, events, and such. It travels along the rocky, dangerous road of addiction, relapse, failure, restoration and forgiveness, often followed by.relapse, failure, restoration, forgiveness, etc. T. BEST Bio out there of The Man in Black I've read all FOUR of the biographies on the open market of this man; and this one beat them all. It reads like a journalistic investigator going after the real story--good, bad, or ugly. The author points out discrepancies in other stories told in opposing pieces, different details, and tales that are verifiably 'urban legend'. Turner also does something NONE of the other biographies do: he explores the genuine search of Cash's spiritual
