      Johnny Cash seemed like the stuff of legend when he was alive, and even more so as he achieved something close to sainthood in death. The interviews collected here bring us closer to the actual man: brilliant, falliable, introspective, and longing for redemption. Mythmaker, philosopher, sinner, and saint, Johnny Cash is perhaps the quintessential American icon. Though often rebellious and unruly, he rarely spoke without intention, sincerity, and a bit of poetry. Together with an introduction by music critic Peter Guralnick, the interviews here spotlight that inimitable rhetorical style, and the fascinating diversity of subjects that made him as relatable as he was mysterious. From a hopped up early interview with Pete Seeger, to a meditation on sobriety, to the last interview in which he stares calmly into the face of death, this collection brings together decades of insight as deeply profound as the unforgettable baritone of The Man in Black himself.

      From Fear to Faith Joanne Cash Yates' spiritual life closely parallels that of her famous brother, Johnny Cash. They both pushed their physical, mental and spiritual endurance to the limit with pill and alcohol abuse. They found themselves on death's door but eventually got their feet back on solid ground by the intervention of God in their lives. In 1990, Joanne and her husband, Dr. Harry Yates, founded the Cowboy Church in Nashville. It began with six people gathered together in the lounge of a Holiday Inn. Today, it is a fast-moving, interdenominational service featuring country music artists performing their favorite gospel songs. All My Fears Are Gone is a story of rock, recovery, and redemption.

    • Soubor Slova pro věčnost (Forever Words) přináší Cashovy neznámé básnické a písňové texty z nejrůznějších údobí. Sám autor je nezhudebnil anebo nenahrál; po vydání této knihy to však za něj s úctou udělali jiní: v dubnu 2018 vyšla nahrávka, kde se textů z Forever Words ujali Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello anebo Chris Cornell. Právě Cornellova píseň Rusty Cage vyšla na jedné z American Recordings a patří k posledním Cashovým nahrávkám; shodou okolností Cornellova účast na Forever Words patřila zase k posledním nahrávkám tohoto zpěváka. „Muž v černém byl také neuvěřitelně plodný básník, který za sebe rád nechal mluvit tužku... V jeho poezii se prolínají láska, smrtelnost, závislost, humor, duchovnost, bolest, úžas, naděje, zármutek, svoboda a odevzdanost – právě tak jako v jeho písních – ve snaze vytvořit co nejvěrnější portrét jeho skutečného já.“ Will Hodge, Rollingstone.com Převážně souběžný anglický text.
