Product Description:
BEST OF THE JOHNNY CASH TV SHOW THE - D (DVD MOVIE)
Amazon.com:
Country and rock 'n' roll legend Johnny Cash hosted his own variety television series from the summer of 1969 to spring 1971, and by all accounts the weekly program was destination TV. The Johnny Cash Show: The Best of Johnny Cash 1969-1971 is an 83-minute summary of everything Cash tried to do in his hourlong format, from presenting an eclectic and even-handed overview of popular music to promoting a humanitarian perspective on issues that mattered most to him: drug use, poverty, reliance on faith, compassion for criminals.
This DVD documentary is largely comprised of musical performances by Cash and some of the many guests who appeared on his show. But there are also snippets of interviews with behind-the-camera talent involved with the program as well as such old friends as Kris Kristofferson and Hank Williams Jr. Everyone speaks highly of Cash's warm, on-camera persona, and selected footage proves them right: Cash is ever the gentleman with an expansive spirit and down-to-earth grit. Musical highlights include Cash's own "I Walk the Line" and "Man In Black," Bob Dylan's straightforward "I Threw It All Away," Loretta Lynn's "I Know How," and a delightful George Jones medley. Ray Charles takes a bluesy spin on "Ring of Fire," Cash's fellow Sun Records artists Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison take turns in the spotlight, Neil Young brings the crowd to its feet with an amazing "The Needle and the Damage Done," and Eric Clapton (fronting Derek and the Dominos) turns in a passionate "It's Too Late." --Tom Keogh

This is great! The footage of a young Johnny Cash was fun to watch but the highlights for me were Bob Dylan and a hard to recognize Waylon Jennings! We enjoyed every minute. I would have liked to see a little more of the different show segments in place of the commentary. I am very pleased with this purchase and plan on viewing it again as soon as I get it back from those I loaned it to!

Great product. It took me a week to find a way to reach Customer Service at Amazon. Their phone number is a deep secret.

Johnny Cash is excellent. Most of the guests are enjoyable. Mother Maybelle is amazing. Kristofferson does a great job of narrating it. Some of the details about the guests are interesting and amusing. Linda Ronstadt was 35 years ahead of her time in the wardrobe department. It's too bad we can't get quality shows like this on TV today. This DVD set brought back a lot of good memories and is definitely a good value.

Johnny Cash's 58 episodes of prime time television, stretching from late 1969 into early 1971 were broadcast, musical and social landmarks all in one. In a society roiled by the Vietnam War, a generation gap, racism, and numerous other divisions, Cash parlayed his artistry, broad musical vision, experienced opinions, faith and personal integrity into a television series that crisscrossed the American landscape. This two-DVD set excerpts four hours of material from the series, providing a good sense ... Read More
