Johnny Cash Walks The Line...

Danny Goldberg, Circus, March 1970

JOHNNY CASH the Misfit: Drug induced and being busted for possession of benzedrine at the Mexican border happened long after he had made a name for himself for 'I Walk The Line', 'Ring of Fire', and of course 'Folsom Prison Blues'.

Because behind all of the myth there is that irresistible Cash voice that lets him get away with it all.
