Johnny Cash

Not as popular as the Beatles, but of course a personal favorite. I love the music of Johnny Cash, which is surprising to many since I typically don’t prefer country. There is something beautiful about his music, something that draws me in. I cannot imagine how hard his life must’ve been. Just from research on his brother’s death at a young age, to his father’s continuous disapproval, to his drug addictions. Through it all, music was his one escape that made him feel free. I can hear his euphoria in his songs, my favorites including “Get Rhythm”, “Ring of Fire”, and “Jackson”.
