Book Overview
For more than 50 years, Johnny Cash has been entertaining audiences of all ages. His winsome approach to music, combined with a raw honesty, has endeared him to legions of fans all over the world. Cash was as popular at the time of his death as ever was. His unique brand of country, folk, and rock music is currently being heard (and purchased) by young teens, as well as by his older fans, perhaps due to his steady presence on MTV, VH1, and CMT. A motion picture about Cash starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon will? be released in 2004. Ring of Fire is a timely and fitting tribute to Cash in words and photographs.?? Cash was recently nominated for six MTV awards and 4 CMA awards for the same song-something that has never happened before.??? This collector's piece consists of words of praise from country music's finest artists, as well as entertainers from film and television. The amazing photographs are from Les Leverett, the official photographer of the Grand Ole Opry for more than 30 years. Certain to become a classic, the book also contains a CD single of Cash singing his hit tune "Ring of Fire."

A Proper Tribute
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This nice little package is a fitting tribute to the memory of Johnny Cash. This small book contains only 95 pages. Half of the pages are pictures and the other half are partially blank, with just a paragraph or two of tribute from someone who knew Cash. Inside the back cover is a cd of Cash singing "Ring of Fire." This book probably does not contain deep insights that are presently unknown to Johnny Cash fans, that's not the purpose. Non fans would be better off with one of his biographies. This book is, however, likely to give a warm fuzzy feeling to his fans. It will probably become a collector's piece. Don't think of it so much as another book about Johnny Cash. Think of it as a fitting tribute to a legendary performer.
Whatever song he sang,he made it his own.

A fitting tribute.This pocket-sized little gem,including a CD of Ring of Fire,is a small reminder of how great The Man in Black really was.Though just a handful of remarks from his friends,it is only a taste from his numerous friends and admirers. It is not necessary to describe how great Cash was,all you have to do is to listen to his music. Although not mentioned in the book,I particularly remember the comment made by Bob Dylan: "Johnny Cash was the North Star and you could guide your ship by him."
A music cd in back adds a touch of elegance

Brian Mansfield's Ring Of Fire isn't just another biography of country singer Johnny Cash - many of these have been produced already - but a celebration of his music. Included are tributes from fellow musicians and black and white photos by Les Leverett, who captured Cash moments on film for over thirty years. A music cd in back adds a touch of elegance to Ring Of Fire: though it can't compete with the many Cash cd compilations on the market, it's the perfect conclusion.
