Book Reviews of Cash : The Autobiography
Book Review: Great storyteller, enjoy at your leisure
Summary: 5 Stars
Had Johnny Cash never picked up a guitar or sung a word, this book would still be a well told story of a bygone American life. Cash grew up picking cotton in an America he's both grateful to be past but remiss to see disappear. In total, this book reads like an afternoon spent with a genial storyteller who likes to pluck out memories at leisure, telling a lifetime's worth of stories out of sequence.
His candid confession to past wrongs and misdeeds make him a compelling narrator not just for his candor, but for the details he's willing to share. This book is better than the movie "Walk The Line," and it adds a deeper understanding to the themes Cash wrote into his songs.
Summary of Cash : The Autobiography
This fascinating autobiography of the country music legend recounts the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs of his remarkable life. The story takes us from Johnny Cash's childhood on an Arkansas cotton farm to his early years at Sun Records. We read of his life on the road and meetings with, and performances for, world leaders. There is also the darker side of his life: the years of addiction to amphetamines and pain killers, a suicide attempt and the spiritual awakening that pulled him through. He looks unsparingly at his turbulent past, but remains a man of honesty, humility and humour. His memoir reveals his friendships with Roy Orbison, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and Billy Graham.Cash, Johnny Books
