“People call me wild. Not really though, I'm not. I guess I've never been normal, not what you call Establishment. I'm country.”
(Johnny Cash)

Johnny Cash, one of the most influential musicians of 20th Century, was as much of a social critic as he was a singer. He wanted to transform the world around him into a better place and that sets him apart from all other singers of the past century.

The man was voice of the voiceless. His deep, calm and laid back voice was a tool he believed he used for doing God’s will. Cash’s songs revolve around the themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, redemption, love, marriage, death and social justice.       
     

Although primarily remembered as a country music icon, his genre-spanning songs and sound embraced rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel. Some of his best songs are "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues", "Ring of Fire", "Get Rhythm", "Man in Black", “Hey Porter”,”A boy named Sue” and “Hurt”.

Johnny Cash wore black in his concerts as a symbol of protest against social injustice and hypocrisy in society. He was a rebel with a message for the world, a vision aimed at creating a better world for posterity. Today, the man in black is not amongst us, but his voice and message continues to inspire us.

Johnny Cash is a man for the ages and his music remains immortal.
