Gospel Music of Johnny Cash DVD

For a half-century, Johnny Cash captured the hearts of millions and enriched the history of American music with his larger-than-life persona, distinctly expressive voice and a tough exterior that scarcely disguised his vulnerable soul. Throughout his winding journey, from the cotton fields of Arkansas to the height of his legendary musical career, "The Man in Black" was drawn to people whom society did not highly regard- people who had become prisoners of their own choices. These were people with whom he could identify, as his own battles with addiction and heartbreak were no secret. Eleven Grammy awards, Hall of Fame inductions, hit songs, television appearances and millions of devoted fans around the world could not bring Johnny peace and, for that reason, the life story of this cultural icon cannot be fully told without investigating the lifelong spiritual quest of Johnny Cash. This 90-minute musical documentary takes you into the deep places of his heart where he would ultimately find joy and fulfillment when he had tried everything else. Out of his authentic faith came a love for gospel music through which he would further impact his generation with songs of hope. This never-before-told spiritual odyssey of Johnny Cash features vintage footage, family photos, interviews, 15 musical performances and the rare opportunity to follow Johnny on his journey to the Holy Land.
