June Carter Cash News

Canadian country music recording artist Melissa Endean has released her latest single, 'Folsom Prison,' on which she worked in collaboration with John Carter Cash. This recording is a cover of the Johnny Cash classic that ranks among Rolling Stone Magazine's greatest country songs of all time, and it earned Cash his very first career Grammy.

Knight Theater should have been abuzz last Friday night.

In a career that spanned more than half a century and with songs and sound that remain as fresh and relevant as ever today, Johnny Cash is an icon of American music, whose life, with its roller coaster of highs and lows and its road to ruin and redemption, inspires almost as much fascination as his art. In a musically brilliant and dramatically compelling production of Richard Maltby’s biographical musical, RING OF FIRE, Maine State Music Theatre and Portland Stage bring the legend of the Man in Black to life in his unforgettable melodies and moments of darkness and triumph.

This proclivity to introspective and introverted thinking was introduced in the album's title track 'tendency to be a loner,' which recently arrived with a lyric video.
