Compact disk Interview, The Johnny Cash Story as told by Johnny
Cash. Hello... I'm Johnny Cash. Those few words have excited audiences
around the world for more than 40 years. From inside the walls of
the Grand 'Ol Opry to inside the walls of San Quentin and Folsom
prisons as they would wait for the "man in black" to step onto the
stage. More than just a superstar in country music, he's had a profound
impact on both the style and substance of the very art form itself.
The songs he would write and record would leave their mark like
few before him. He has been called an innovator and an outlaw, experienced
the joy of being at the very top of his industry and has tasted
the bitterness that comes from despair and along the way he has
become a legend. Hear Johnny in his own words as he tells the story
behind his recordings, songwriting, Sun Records, close friends and
his observations on life itself. Feature File, The Pride of Jesse
Hallam. Johnny Cash is Jesse Hallam, a Kentucky coalminer since
age 14, who is forced to trade his back-woods home for the urban
life in Ohio. Recently widowed and illiterate to boot, Jesse finds
himself in a humbling series of predicaments which will have a profound
effect on his life, forcing him to face challenges and a reality
he never counted on. Johnny's touching dramatic performance and
a colorful cast of characters make The Pride of Jesse Hallam a unique
and unforgettable film classic.
