Book description
A los tres años de su muerte, Johnny Cash (1932-2003) adquiría rango de mito universal --entre neófitos, profanos y conversos, pues eran ya incontables los inveterados amantes de su música-- con la oscarizada película En la cuerda floja; biopic cuyo relato arranca en un crucial pasaje de la singladura vital y artística del afamado bardo. Pero la vida de una leyenda en vida como este gigante del country desborda los límites de cualquier semblanza cinematográfica o periodística al uso. De ahí la relevancia de este prepóstumo inventario --consignado en primera persona-- de vivencias, personas y lugares que nos comparte en este testamento vital recitado a modo de auditoría interna. Pese a antojarse desacomplejadamente lapidario en sus conclusiones --por cuanto desmiente no pocos rumores infundados y pregona, a su vez, más verdades de las necesarias--, por encima de sus reveladoras virtudes, la autobiografía de El Hombre de Negro rebosa ternura y gratitud por lo vivido. Cash acomete esta empresa animado por el deseo de hacer las paces con el mundo y ajustar cuentas consigo mismo. Una vida, en suma, digna de ser escuchada y leída. Three years after his death, Johnny Cash acquired the rank of universal myth with the Oscar-winning film "Walk the Line". The life of a legend like this country giant exceeds the limits of any cinematographic or journalistic semblance to use. This autobiography overflows with tenderness and gratitude. Cash undertakes this endeavor motivated by the desire to make peace with the world and settle accounts with himself. A life, in short, worthy of being heard and read.
About the Author
Johnny Cash is one of the pillars on which North American folk music is based. Signed in the mid-50s by the legendary Sun Records label of Memphis, Cash was a companion of Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis in the glorious years of that intrepid label. Signed by Columbia in the 1960s, he would become a cultural institution in his country by publishing concept albums, gospel hymns, and even hosting his own television show in Nashville.
