Johnny Cash is one of the most influential and distinctive figures in American country music; his often dark and foreboding music at once spoke of country's traditions and took them to new and unexpected places, while as a songwriter and performer he created a body of work that ranks with the finest music the genre has produced. Johnny Cash: The Anthology combines music videos, television appearances, interviews, and concert footage to craft a portrait of a singular artist; songs performed include "I Walk the Line," "Folsom Prison Blues," "Bird on a Wire," "Sunday Morning Coming Down," and "Man in Black"; the video also features guest appearances from a number of country music greats, including Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Marty Stuart. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
