The 10 Songs That Defined Johnny Cash's Career

Artist Johnny Cash was a rare bird in the world of music. Coming up recording in the '50s for the famed Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee, alongside the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins, his career experienced both critical triumphs and the deepest of losses. He survived divorce, several legal misdemeanors (but no jail time), lengthy bouts in and out of drug addiction, and near occupational irrelevancy by the '90s before being rejuvenated through a series of albums made alongside noted hip-hop producerRick Rubin.
