Publisher Comments :
He is "The Man in Black." Country music legend. The "quintessential American troubadour." An icon of rugged individualism, who's been to hell and back, and tells the tale as never before. In this unforgettable autobiography, Johnny Cash talks straight about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who have shaped him.
In his own words, Cash sets the record straight--and dispels a few myths--as he looks unsparingly at his remarkable life: from his turbulent past to the joys of the present to his plans down the road. Here, too, are the friends of a lifetime, including Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Dr. Billy Graham. As powerful and memorable as one of his classic songs, Cash is filled with the candor, wit, and wisdom of a man who has truly "walked the line."
"Engaging.... Written with honesty and spiritual insight.... Cash's stories and strength shine."
From Chicago Sun-Times
"Insightful, relaxed, and conversational.... The stories sing."
From New York Times Book Review

From Boston Globe

From Kirkus Reviews
A humble, happy look back from the man in black. Johnny Cash answers to many names; he's JR to childhood friends and family, John to bandmates, and Johnny to fans. ``Cash'' is the name wife June Carter reserves for ``the star, the egomaniac.'' The star gets plenty of ink here, from the early days at Sun Records--with Elvis, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis--to his current status as a darling of the alternative rock set. But it's the private man who's most compelling and surprisingly complex. Cash writes candidly of his recurring addiction to amphetamines and his concomitant shortcomings as a father, addresses his spirituality without sounding maudlin, and displays genuine humility at his success and very little bitterness at his abandonment by the country music establishment. A more accurate subtitle might be ``The Second Autobiography,'' since this volume covers some of the same ground as Cash's previous work, The Man in Black (1986), but a life so chock full of oddments (he once started a forest fire with an automobile and on another occasion was nearly disemboweled by an ostrich) and renegade stands (he opposed Vietnam, heresy to the nation's blue- collar constituency) easily merits a second look. Organized around the domiciles where he divides his time--homes in Tennessee, Florida, and Jamaica, as well as his tour bus--the book stays grounded in the present, mixing reflections on his 40-year career with a running chronicle of an ongoing tour. This novel approach minimizes the as-told-to blahs that plague many a celebrity autobiography and highlights Cash's wry humor and introspection. With the help of Carr, editor of Country Music magazine, Cash keeps the pace lively until the end, when the roses he throws everyone from grandkids to music biz buddies bog things down. Mostly, though, a pungent, substantive autobiography from one the most iconoclastic talents on the American music scene.

评分大概我与很多华人一样,对Johnny Cash 都并不熟悉和了解。豆瓣算是一个小众、但对音乐、电影、图书、艺术类人物和信息认知较高的平台,但没有多少人对Johnny Cash 的音乐、纪录片、传记作出过评论。如果不是昨天前往他的纪念馆走访一下,同时我顺手入手一本关于他的传记,然后今天认真地Google 了关于他的故事,才发现,我早就认识他。其中的一出以他为真实故事改编的电影《为你钟情》,早早便看过。他的人生经历,有善善恶恶,见过总统,常常到监狱为犯人唱歌,创作无数首经典歌曲,曾经有非常糟糕的习惯,但后来因爱情而变回成好人……还是值得好奇探究一下的。列入在读书单。Yeah!
