Running Time: Part One - 5:30 minutes

John Carter Cash, the only child of Johnny and June Carter Cash, speaks candidly about his legendary fathers writing and recording of the music that would become his final album, American VI: Aint No Grave. During these final recording sessions in May of 2003--less than four months before he passed--Johnny lost his wife June to surgical complications. According to producer Rick Rubin, "Johnny said that recording was his main reason for being alive. I think it was the only thing that kept him going.

This part-one-of-two short documentaries features music and interview footage of John Carter Cash talking about the recording of the songs that made up Johnnys final album. Also included are iconic film and images of Johnny around his writing cabin in Tennessee throughout his American Recordings career.

The Man in Black may no longer walk this Earthly realm, but through his music, Johnny Cash is very much alive and well and living among us.
