Watch the performances from the artists that won their Knockout or were Stolen by another coach on The Voice Season 15 Knockout Rounds last night below!

There were many sides to Johnny Cash: Outlaw musician, and die-hard patriot; a country western superstar who could connect to others' suffering; the grandson of a preacher who wrestled with personal demons; a religious man achingly familiar with the Devil's work. In April 1970, as America was being torn in two, Cash had to choose which side of himself he'd give voice to after being invited to perform at President Richard Nixon's embattled White House.

Breath & Imagination chronicles Roland Hayes's inspirational journey from a Georgia plantation to a singing career that included command performances for kings and queens. Despite his international acclaim, Roland never left behind his complex and loving relationship with his mother, his Angel Mo'. With spirituals and classical music, Breath & Imagination is a compelling musical about one man's determination to become an artist despite seemingly insurmountable odds.   

There was only one prize-winning teenager carrying stones big enough to say thanks, but no thanks to Roy Acuff.  Only one son of Kentucky finding a light of inspiration from Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and catching a fire from Bob Marley and The Wailers.  Only one progressive hippie allying with like-minded conspirators, rolling out the newgrass revolution, and then leaving the genre's torch-bearing band behind as it reached its commercial peak.  There is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors, of the traditionalists, the rebels, and the next gen devotees. Music's ultimate inside outsider. Or is it outside insider? There is only one Sam Bush.
