Johnny Cash is Still a Voice for America

Johnny Cash remains a voice for America.

"I Am The Nation" is a spoken word documentary DVD/CD from the Johnny Cash vault. It is scheduled to be released by Legacy Recordings on Oct. 28th.

According to a spokesperson, "The film Johnny Cash's America is poignantly placed in the context of today'spolitical climate and this oration "I Am The Nation" reminds us what our country stands for at a time when Americans seem more divided than ever.

Johnny Cash’s America examines how Johnny became the most authentic celebrity voice our country had. He embraced all of America’s diversity without prejudice or partisanship and he had so much clout with the American people that every President in office during his lifetime courted Johnny Cash. Both the right and the left claimed him, although he remained non partisan.

He was championed by teenage punks, their parents, and their grandparents. He was embraced by soldiers and anarchists, by conservatives and liberals, yuppies and rednecks. When times demanded change, he was not afraid to change with them. When times were good, he sang in celebration. Untainted by partisanship and spin, Cash still remains a rare bridge in our culture.
