Historia

Johnny J.R Cash (Kingsland, Arkansas, 26 de febrero de 1932 - Nashville, Tennessee, 12 de septiembre de 2003) fue un cantante, compositor, guitarrista, actor y autor estadounidense y es considerado como uno de los músicos más influyentes del siglo XX. Cantautor de country, gospel, rock and roll y rockabilly, fue y es uno de los máximos representantes de la música country, aunque creó su propio subgénero musical. Cash fue conocido por su profunda voz, por el característico sonido boom-chick-a-boom de su banda de acompañamiento -los Tennessee Three-, y por vestir ropa oscura lo que le valió el apodo de «El Hombre de Negro» («The Man in Black»). Era muy típico de él empezar todos sus conciertos con la sencilla frase: «Hola, soy Johnny Cash» («Hello, I'm Johnny Cash»). Muchas de las canciones de Cash como «I Walk The Line», «Folsom Prison Blues», «Man in Black» tratan temas como la pena, la culpa, las tribulaciones morales y la redención, una tendencia que se acentuó en la última etapa de su carrera. Pero también compuso muchas canciones humorísticas (como «One Piece At A Time», «The One On The Right Is On The Left» y versióno «A Boy Named Sue originariamente de Shel Silverstein»), llenas de vitalidad («Get Rhythm») o con otras temáticas típicas del country como el ferrocarril («The Rock Island Line» o la famosa «Orange Blossom Special»). Curiosamente, algunos de sus temas más conocidos son covers de otros artistas, pero versionadas con un estilo propio y que lleva su sello por todas partes como es el caso de «hurt» (de Nine Inch Nails), Personal Jesus de Depeche Mode, o el tema grabado junto con Joe Strummer, «Redemption Song», que Bob Marley había compuesto poco antes de su muerte. Vendió cerca de noventa millones de álbumes en sus casi cincuenta años de carrera. Es presentado habitualmente como uno de los músicos más importantes en la historia de la música country. Es uno de los tres únicos músicos que han sido admitidos en más de un «Salón de la Fama»: en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and roll, del Country y de Compositores de Nashville. Recientemente ha sido incluido en el Salón de la Fama del Gospel, de modo que, junto con Elvis Presley, es el único artista que está en Salones de la Fama de tres estilos diferentes (Rock, Country y Gospel). Aunque es recordado principalmente como un icono de la música country, sus canciones y el sonido que abarca abrazaron otros géneros como el rock and roll, el rockabilly, el blues, el folk, y el góspel. Fue introducido al Salón de la Fama en todos aquellos múltiples géneros musicales.

Western discreto al que se le nota demasiado su procedencia televisiva, aunque la presencia de Cash como Frank James le otorga un cierto poso de calidad, beneficiado también por una correcta puesta en escena.

Eat the Document
Self
Eat the Document is a documentary of Bob Dylan's 1966 tour of the United Kingdom with the Hawks. It was shot under Dylan's direction by D. A. Pennebaker, whose groundbreaking documentary Dont Look Back chronicled Dylan's 1965 British tour. The film was originally commissioned for the ABC television series Stage '66. Though shooting had completed for the film, Dylan's July 1966 motorcycle accident delayed the editing process. Once well enough to work again, Dylan edited the film himself. ABC rejected the film as incomprehensible for a mainstream audience.
