About Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash (1932–2003), born in Kingsland, Arkansas, was known as the Man in Black across a five-decade career in American music. His live albums At Folsom Prison (1968) and At San Quentin (1969) were recorded before incarcerated audiences. Late in his life, the American Recordings series produced by Rick Rubin returned him to wide acclaim. His poems were collected posthumously in Forever Words: The Unknown Poems (Blue Rider Press, 2016), edited by Paul Muldoon. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2010.
