about this event
Johnny Cash Revisited is a two-hour, live concert performance set between 1969 and 1971 and based on the hugely popular “Johnny Cash Show” Television series. During this period, Cash was at the height of his career in the USA and around the world, following the success of his legendary, At Folsom Prison and San Quentin albums.
The show features flashbacks to the very beginning of Cash’s
career at Sun Records in Memphis and includes his greatest hits from the 1950’s
on through the decades with hits such as, Folsom Prison Blues, I Walk
The Line, Big River, Ring of Fire, A Boy Named Sue, One
Piece At A Time, Daddy Sang Bass, A Thing Called Love, Ghost
Riders In The Sky, Without Love, and duets, Jackson and It
Ain’t Me Babe, with June Carter, a legend in her own right and member of
the pioneering “Carter Family”.
The show boasts a fabulous live band called Starkville who, in their own right,
could entertain you for the entire two hours. They perform popular songs by
artists to whom Cash himself gave a prime-time TV spot, and in some cases their
biggest break, as guests on his TV show. Hit songs by Derek and The Dominoes,
and Credence Clearwater Revival, feature alongside Johnny’s long-time
friends and Sun Records label mates, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins.
Our show also provides a look at the resurgence of Johnny
Cash’s career in the 1990’s featuring his Grammy award winning series of six American
Recordings albums, including 2003’s incredibly powerful, Hurt.
In short, Johnny Cash Revisited is a musical journey through five decades of
hits by the legendary “Man In Black” himself, with his wife, June Carter, The
Tennessee Three, and their friends, that we’re are sure will bring back
wonderful feelings of nostalgia to those who lived through those years, while
introducing a whole new generation to the wonderful country, rock ‘n’ roll, and
rockabilly music of the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and into the new millennium!
