A life bordering on legend, Johnny Cash was but a man. A solitary man. A man in black. Cash drew upon several distinct musical styles: country, gospel, folk, and rockabilly. His sound, at once familiar yet unique, became transcendent when coupled with a world-weary view. Cash’s deep affinity for those on the fringes of society—such as prisoners and Native Americans—is well documented. His granite voice, informed by flaws and faith, ultimately embodied the fabric of America. Understand your man?

The passions of Johnny Cash—religion, family, tradition—also resonate within bluegrass music. His workingman ethic can be heard in a well-crafted bluegrass performance. The world-class musicians assembled for this album capture the earthy qualities that Cash imbued in his music. Banjo, fiddle, and mandolin bring Cash’s best material back to the rural Arkansas farmland of his childhood. These instrumentals will remind you that Johnny Cash’s music had no boundaries.
