The Man Called Cash (by Steve Turner)

THE MAN CALLED CASH by Steve Turner (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

Johnny Cash was one of the most influential figures in American music. An unflinchingly honest biography, The Man Called Cash is a story of his struggles, faith, love, and redemption.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded at Blackstone Audio by Rex Linn. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“An affecting mosaic of oral history, poetry and memoir—concerning Cash himself, but also the era in which his music took root and thrived.”—Publishers Weekly

“The Master of Life’s been good to me. He has given me strength to face past illnesses, and victory in the face of defeat….Let the music play.”—Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash was a poor sharecropper’s son from Arkansas who became one of the most influential figures in American music. In the 1950s he embarked on a music career that took him to the heights of fame and wealth but also to the depths of addiction and despair. From these tensions Johnny Cash created a haunting music, exploring the dark side of himself, and others, in a voice that sometimes sounded as old as the Grand Canyon. The Man Called Cash chronicles his career, his love for June Carter Cash, his struggles, and his triumphs. Johnny Cash put his soul into his music, drawing on his demons, his faith, his pain, and his joy to become, to many, the voice of truth.
