This year marks the twentieth anniversary of Johnny Cash's death. Johnny Cash: The Life in Lyrics tells the extraordinary and turbulent life story of The Man in Black through his music.

In collaboration with his family, including his son John Carter Cash, a selection has been made of the 125 most important songs from Cash's extensive career. The background stories, contributions from friends and family, and many never-before-seen photos together tell the ultimate story of one of the greatest country artists of all time. From his difficult childhood in rural Arkansas and his early beginnings as a musician with Sun Records to his heyday in the 1960s, his lifelong battle with addiction, and his comeback in the final years of his life.

This book is the first official collection of Cash's lyrics and is an absolute must-have for music lovers.

Compiler Mark Stielper has been writing about the life and work of Johnny Cash for almost forty years. He has contributed to several biographies, documentaries, and exhibitions about the Man in Black. Cash described him as "his friend, the family historian, [who] knows more about me than I do myself."
