| DVD Description 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 |

Cash well spent True to Johnny Cash's style he gives his guests time to sing full versions of their songs. Unlike so many others that cut their guests to a couple verses with no instrumental part. Some songs the instrumental has a great deal to do with the songs success and Cash lets guests play full versions. Excellent Video and well worth the Cash
brilliant show, a great show with great artist,s . the show went for two years at 58 hours in total so make some more hours availible on dvd guys . this show = 5 stars .........
Amazing! Wonderful! I would add to what's been said above, that this is a wonderful time capsule that might be entitled "and now for something completely different". Jump from Bob Dylan to Tammy Wynette (in silver knee-high space boots) to Neil Young to George Jones to Stevie Wonder.....it's all great. We love it! |
