Johnny Cash's spiritual quest

Cashstudio2_small When it comes to his spiritual life, Johnny Cash showed no fear in spreading the word. We follow the complicated religious journey of Cash's life, from pious beginnings, straying from the church, betrayal of beliefs and return to the fold. Along the way, Cash wrote fascinating songs that reflect his struggle with belief and human nature. Audio will be available here by Aug 10, 2005.

Prison Concert Documentaries

Johnny Cash: Live at San Quentin

From Joyride Media | 59:05

One-hour music intensive documentary looks back on Johnny Cash's historic 1969 concert at San Quentin State Prison.

Sanquentin_small I took Johnny Cash 12 years to record one of his live prison shows, but it wasn't easy. He was threatened against doing it, warned it would ruin his career, but Cash's instincts were dead on. He just went ahead and recorded at Folsom Prison in 1968 and never sounded so raw and alive. The live album was a huge hit, and followed by the even bigger "Johnny Cash at San Quentin" - his first #1 album on the pop charts. In this hour we explore how Cash's concert at San Quentin came about, went down and the wake it left behind. Your listeners will hear Johnny Cash on the edge, plowing through well-known songs and premiering new ones that stated, "San Quentin, I hope you rot and burn in hell." Needless to say, he almost started a riot in a room full of very bad men. The program also features a few songs from the show not included on the original live album. For an inside view, we'll hear about prison life from the prisoners and prison guards, taken from the documentary "Johnny Cash in San Quentin." The original producer, Bob Johnston, speaks about the excitement and fear, as does Jim Marshall, photographer of the famous "Johnny flipping the bird at San Quentin" photo. We'll also hear about Johnny Cash's views on the lock-up from bassist Marshall Grant, son John Carter Cash, singer/songwriter Larry Gatlin and music writer Anthony DeCurtis.

Johnnycash_small When a young man named Johnny Cash tried to get his first record deal, he told Sam Philips of Sun Records that he was a Gospel Singer. Philips said, ?No Thanks,? but that didn?t stop Cash from recording and playing gospel songs. In time, Cash took his faith a lot further.

Johnny Cash: Personal File

From Joyride Media | 59:05

One-hour music intensive documentary hosted by Rodney Crowell explores Johnny Cash?s ?Personal File? home recording archive.

Cashredhead_small New radio special from the people behind the award-winning four-part series, "Johnny Cash: The Legend." Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, Johnny Cash sat down with an acoustic guitar at home and recorded tape after tape of songs that he loved, both old and new. When he finished, the tape would be marked ?Personal File? and put in a vault that has just recently been re-opened. Throughout this one-hour program, Cash is heard having fun and telling stories of his childhood and deep faith on these solo acoustic recordings. The sparse and loose arrangements of original songs and covers from the "Personal File" tapes also served as the template for Cash's acclaimed American Recordings albums produced by Rick Rubin between 1994 and his death in 2003. Comments about these recordings and Cash?s love of music come from his son, John Carter Cash, daughter Roseanne Cash, Marty Stuart, Cowboy Jack Clement, journalist Anthony DeCurtis and biographer Patrick Carr.
