Johnny Cash: A Boy Named Sue (1x4)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Eki 14, 2012

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.
