The Gospel Music of Johnny Cash Album: Beginning his career as an outlaw to the Nashville, Tennessee establishment, Johnny Cash has come to define country music over the last 40 years. At first, his unique mix of hillbilly music with gospel and blues made him a perfect fit at Sam Phillips’ Sun Records, where he recorded such classics as “Folsom Prison Blues” and “I Walk The Line.”
He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. Cash’s crossover appeal won him the rare honor of multiple inductions in the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame. He has also made a spoken word recording of the entire New King James Version of the New Testament. Learn more about Johhny Cash Gospel Music…

He was the “Man in Black,” a country music legend, and the quintessential American troubadour. He was an icon of rugged individualism who had been to hell and back, telling the tale as never before. In his unforgettable autobiography, Johnny Cash tells the truth about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who shaped him.
In his own words, Cash set the record straight — and dispelled a few myths — as he looked unsparingly at his remarkable life: from the joys of his boyhood in Dyess, Arkansas to superstardom in Nashville, Tennessee, the road of Cash’s life has been anything but smooth. As powerful and memorable as one of his classic songs, Cash is filled with the candor, wit, and wisdom of a man who truly “walked the line.”
