In His Words A Final Conversation With Johnny Cash

In July 2003, music legend Johnny Cash sat down with filmmaker Mari-Lynn Evans and journalist Holly George-Warren for what he explained would be his last filmed interview. Over the next three hours, with his daughter Rosanne by his side, he spoke eloquently about his life, his career, his late wife, June Carter Cash, and the enormous musical influence of the Carter family. Above all he talked about music--the music he made, and the music that shaped him--punctuating his reflections and reminiscences with impromptu performances. Full of Johnny Cash's inimitable heart, vision, and sly wit, Johnny Cash in His Own Words distills the essence of this and other extraordinary conversations into a poignant and illuminating coda to a phenomenal career and life. Packaged with a compact disc featuring thirty minutes of interview highlights, excerpts from two songs, and a complete version of his classic "Forty Shades of Green," Johnny Cash in His Own Words is a fitting tribute to a genuine American icon--and a major addition to the annals of music literature.Evans, Mari-Lynn is the author of 'In His Words A Final Conversation With Johnny Cash' with ISBN 9781400062737 and ISBN 140006273X.
