Johnny Cash: He Walked The Line

Johnny Cash had one of the most recognisable voices in the history of country music, and indeed in the history of recorded music itself. Building musical bridges between the worlds of country, folk, rock and gospel, Cash's influence is as broad as his fanbase. His story is an amazing rags-to-riches tale about a kid who battled against poverty and depression to end up performing on the same stage as Elvis Presley! He Walked the Line is the definitive biography of the man. It is the only book to delve deeply into the personality and work of this prolific yet elusive artist, and its no-holds-barred look at the more uncomfortable aspects of Cash's life provides the first truly rounded portrait.
