Biography

Johnny Cash made a mark on the world that went well beyond his songs. Musically, spiritually, politically – he was a complex man with qualities that generations have held in high regard.

In this one hour radio special, you’ll hear from many of his old friends and new admirers - including Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Sheryl Crow, Shelby Lynne, Rhett Miller, Brandi Carlisle, Amy Lee, Lucinda Williams, Shooter Jennings and Sam Beam.

Great program to air to promote local broadcasts of the new PBS tribute concert special, WE WALK THE LINE, featuring many of the artists interviewed for this radio special. See list below for when this show will air near you.
