KZfaq Originals presents The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash stands among the giants of 20th century American life. But his story remains tangled in mystery and myth. This documentary, created with the full cooperation of the Cash estate and rich in recently discovered archival materials, brings Cash the man out from behind the legend. Taking the remarkable Folsom Prison recording as a central motif and featuring interviews with family and celebrated collaborators, the film explores the artistic victories, the personal tragedies, the struggles with addiction, and the spiritual pursuits that colored Johnny Cash's life.
The Original Score to the documentary is available now, featuring essential Johnny Cash recordings & original score by Mike McCready incorporating exclusive interview soundbites with Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, and others. JohnnyCash.lnk.to/TheGiftOST

I don’t generally comment on KZfaq, but I feel I have to. I think that Johnny Cash is timeless. His voice, with its bold yet humble tone, and later in life a tone of a weathered man, speaks to the downtrodden. Those who feel lost, without direction. His voice, moreso than any lyric or instrument(not to say those are not important) contributes to his unmatched ability to speak to anyone. Truly a legend in music and art in general

My Dad loved his music, so we heard Johnny all of our lives....now, my kids love him too. Iconic soul. His voice is too deep to emulate easily, but no matter which octave you start on, the range is incredibly wide. I always end up stumbling and laughing whenever I try to sing a Johnny Cash song.

The first country music concert I ever went to was Johnny cash. And June Carter. It was wonderful! Johnny cash had in a blue shirt with ruffles on the front. He was so handsome. I told my husband man he’s so beautiful. Later I was happy to learn Johnny was friends with Elvis. My husband laughed at me saying Johnny cash was handsome. My husband was a very handsome man himself. It was on Austin Texas. We were in about the tenth row. If I remember right mother Mabel and the girls were there too. It was a good show.

I had his San Quentin album on an 8-track that I listened to driving back and forth to college on I-95. When I graduated, he came to the Opera house in Wilmington, Del. We went to see him and later Loretta Lynn. I had always wanted to be a singer, I remember watching JC on the tv at my grandparents house and said to myself, that's exactly what I would love to do. I was a fan of his early music and his later self-published albums. I joined the Navy and listened to him up until his death in '03 when I saw him on the cover of Time magazine in the airport coming back from Iraq. He has always been my personal hero. He seemed to be on a mission to sing about the common man, somehow eclipsing so much that brings other artists down right at the start. He is truly a legend.

I was born in '72, and I grew up listening to Johnny Cash. Even as a child, I could tell that he was so soecial. Even as a child, my 24yo autistic son could tell how great he was. Johnny didn't have a "perfect singing voice", but you could just FEEL the pain in his words. When June passed away, my Mom said "he won't last long without her", and she wasn't wrong. My brother absolutely HATES his rendition of "Hurt", but if you listen to the words, and watch the video, it's like a knife to the heart. To this day, I still tear up sometimes when I watch that video.

And in a way she hated whites, though she was a white and it almost seemed to me that she also was weird where it came to her students. Just come odd things.

Meredith, Jesus offers redemption if you just believe he died for you. There's no need to fear all this time that you won't make it, if you call in the name of Jesus and believe it doesn't matter what you've done, you'll get redemption. And it doesn't matter what the world says, you're saved the minute you believe in Him .

Granted, he took many different paths, with the choices he made, but he always ended up playing instruments and creating meaningful songs. His voice was beautiful. This was a wonderful documentary, many thanks for it.

I say thank you to June Carter for providing the light that he needed in his darkest hours. Thank you to Vivienne for encouraging him in the beginning of his career even when the goings were hard. To John's children, I thank you for sharing with us the legacy of not only your father but your mother and step mother. You have all touched my life in a way that only his music can explain and I am blessed by it daily. Even 16 years later I say thank you, for everything.
