John R . "Johnny" Cash fue un cantante, compositor, guitarrista, actor y autor estadounidense. Considerado como uno de los músicos más influyentes del siglo XX. Considerado el "rey de la música country" y un icono de ese género.[1]​[2]​[3]​ Cantautor de country, gospel, rock and roll y rockabilly, fue y es uno de los máximos representantes de la música country, aunque creó su propio subgénero musical.

Cash fue conocido por su profunda voz, por el característico sonido boom-chick-a-boom de su banda de acompañamiento -los Tennessee Three-, y por vestir ropa oscura lo que le valió el apodo de «El Hombre de Negro» . Era muy típico de él empezar todos sus conciertos con la sencilla frase: «Hola, soy Johnny Cash» .

Muchas de las canciones de Cash como «I Walk The Line», «Folsom Prison Blues», «Man in Black» tratan temas como la pena, la culpa, las tribulaciones morales y la redención, una tendencia que se acentuó en la última etapa de su carrera. Pero también compuso muchas canciones humorísticas , llenas de vitalidad o con otras temáticas típicas del country como el ferrocarril . Curiosamente, algunos de sus temas más conocidos son versiones de otros artistas, pero versionadas con un estilo propio y que lleva su sello por todas partes como es el caso de «Hurt» , Personal Jesus de Depeche Mode, One de U2, o el tema grabado junto con Joe Strummer, «Redemption Song», que Bob Marley había compuesto poco antes de su muerte.

Vendió cerca de noventa millones de álbumes en sus casi cincuenta años de carrera. Es presentado habitualmente como uno de los músicos más importantes en la historia de la música country. Es uno de los tres únicos músicos que han sido admitidos en más de un «Salón de la Fama»: en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and roll, del Country y del Góspel, de modo que, junto con Elvis Presley, es el único artista que está en Salones de la Fama de tres estilos diferentes . Aunque es recordado principalmente como un icono de la música country, sus canciones y el sonido que abarca abrazaron otros géneros como el rock and roll, el rockabilly, el blues, el folk, y el góspel. Fue introducido al Salón de la Fama en todos aquellos múltiples géneros musicales. Wikipedia

Johnny Cash: Frases en inglés

“Cash: I went into a coma and I was there for 12 days. They all thought I was dying and they couldn't diagnose what was wrong with me. They finally came up with a diagnosis of Shy-Drager syndrome. It was few months later they realized I didn't have that so it was Parkinson's. And then it was not that. Then finally it was autonomic neuropathy. … And I'm pretty well resolved to the fact that that's what it is. And it's a slow process of the nerve endings.
King: No cure?
Cash: No, I don't think so. But that's all right. There's no cure for life either.”

Some are born an' some are dyin.”

“Hey porter! Hey porter!
Would you tell me the time?
How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon Line?
At daylight would ya tell that engineer to slow it down?
Or better still, just stop the train,
Cause I wanna look around.”

“People say, Well, he wore that body out. Well, maybe I did. But it was to a good purpose.

Everywhere I could possibly do them that I thought I might enjoy them. I thought people might enjoy me.”

And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.

Song lyrics, American IV: The Man Comes Around (2002), The Man Comes Around

“The line "because you're mine, I walk the line." It kept coming to me, you know? But I was — I was … young and not been married too long. Yes, it kept coming to me. Because you're mine, I walk the line. And then the words just naturally flowed. It was an easy song to write.”

CNN interview (2002)

“The Man Comes Around" is a song that I wrote, it's my song of the apocalypse, and I got the idea from a dream that I had — I dreamed I saw Queen Elizabeth. I dreamed I went in to Buckingham Palace, and there she sat on the floor. And she looked up at me and said, "Johnny Cash, you're like a thorn tree in a whirlwind." And I woke up, of course, and I thought, what could a dream like this mean? Thorn tree in a whirlwind? Well, I forgot about it for two or three years, but it kept haunting me, this dream. I kept thinking about it, how vivid it was, and then I thought, Maybe it's biblical. So I found it. Something about whirlwinds and thorn trees in the Bible. So from that, my song started and… "The Man Comes Around.”

CNN interview (2002)

“I do my best to hide this low-down feelin'.
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong.
But they're always askin me about you, darlin
And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone.
If they ask me I guess I'd be denyin' that I've been unhappy all alone.
But if they heard my heart, they'd hear it cryin'
Where's my darling, when's she comin home?”

Down the street that losers use.
If you can wade in through the teardrops,

Home of the Blues, written by Johnny Cash, Douglas L. McAlphin, and Glenn Douglas Tubb
Song lyrics, Johnny Cash Sings the Songs That Made Him Famous (1958)

“A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm;
A boy filled with wanderlust who really meant no harm.
He changed his clothes and shined his boots;
And combed his dark hair down.
And his mother cried as he walked out.Don't take your guns to town son;
Leave your guns at home Bill.
Don't take your guns to town.”

You stay a little while and then you're gone again.

For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry!”

At the terror in each sip and in each sup.

Or disappear into the potter's ground.

“So we raise her up every morning
And we bring her down slow every night,
We don't let her touch the ground,
And we fold her up right.
On second thought
I do like to brag.
Cause I'm mighty proud of
That Ragged Old Flag.”
