Cash’s early career is defined by ability to remain defiant against the status quo to achieve his destiny. After working for hours in the cotton fields, they moved to Memphis in the mid 50s, he found rock ‘n’ roll was in. Much to the chagrin of pioneer producer Sam Phillips, Cash stubbornly stayed true to his country roots. The lyrics for “I Walk The Line” came to the married Cash on the road in Texas as he struggled to remain faithful to his wife, Vivian. The temptations on the road for a musician are like no other. The song would also prove to be one of the first examples of a complicated and contradictory artist. In many ways, this song begins a dark period for Cash when there was really no line he didn’t cross: he left his wife Vivian, became addicted to alcohol and amphetamines, and nearly destroyed his life. Cash was trying to find his voice, and a chance tape-recorder mistake inspired a riff that launched a career.

After early success in the 50s and 60s, Cash?s career began to crash in the late 60s. Cash once again found himself being pushed out by a second coming of rock ‘n’ roll. It was up to The Man In Black to save himself. Cash made the controversial decision to record inside the walls of two of the nation’s most notorious prisons. During his performance at San Quentin, Cash nearly caused an uprising and sent a message for his doubters: the famous picture taken with Cash giving the photographer the middle finger. The cross-over success of a “Boy Named Sue,” a song he performed for the first time in San Quentin — managed to cement Cash’s reputation as radical. The Man In Black was back.

Johnny Cash was ready for primetime with his own network series on ABC, but primetime wasn’t ready for Johnny Cash. With his show filmed every week Johnny Cash shared with viewers the music he wanted to hear: Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young acts that would alienate his own longtime and old friends that would puzzle his new generation of fans (Bill Monroe, Louis Armstrong, Pete Seeger). He bucked against the Network’s wishes by talking about Vietnam and defiantly singing the lyrics “Lord, I’m wishing that I was stoned” in Kris Kristofferson’s classic “Sunday Morning Coming Down.” ABC canceled the controversial show, but its impact on future musicians would echo for years to come.

Although Johnny Cash had a body of work already deemed worthy of induction into the any music Hall of Fame, by the 1980s his career was teetering on the edge of relevancy. But the longtime rebel wasn’t going down without a fight. An unlikely creative partnership with a hard rock/rap producer proved Cash’s career with his third and final act, but it almost didn’t happen. Cash was hesitant to sign with Rick Rubin’s label, but Rubin’s persistence to keep the music true to Cash's roots paid off. Cash’s series of American Recordings over his final years — most featuring just the artist and his guitar — lead to Cash delivering the most acclaimed work of his career. It also gave Cash a chance to give his musical epitaph with the astounding cover of Trent Reznor’s “Hurt” and the accompanying music video will continue to fascinate and haunt music lovers for the rest of time.
