Johnny Cash: The Last Interview by Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash: The Last Interview by Johnny Cash

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.

Johnny Cash (1932-2003) was an American legend and country music superstar who was also the author of three books and a declared believer. Cash began singing publicly in the early 1950s while serving in the Air Force. In addition to being the youngest person ever inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, he was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received eleven Grammy Awards during the course of his career. Cash, who was married to June Carter, a country superstar, performed everywhere from Folsom Prison to the White House, hosted his own television show, acted in feature films, and earned the Kennedy Center Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996.
