Johnny Cash - The Life - Robert Hilburn (Biography)(1st Ed HB ex-Lib)
$14
SHIPPING OFFERED
'Johnny Cash - The Life' by Robert Hilburn in good condition despite being an ex-Library book. It's a First Edition hardback as per photo 3.
The blurb:- The definitive biography of an American legend.
In 'Johnny Cash: The Life', Robert Hilburn coveys the unvarnished truth about a musical icon, whose colourful career stretched from his days at Sun Records with Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis to the remarkable creative last hurrah, at age sixty-nine, that resulted in the brave, moving 'Hurt' video. As music critic for the Los Angeles Times, Hilburn knew Cash well throughout his life; he was the only music journalist at the legendary Folsom Prison concert in 1968, and he interviewed Cash and his wife June Carter for the final time just months before their deaths in 2003. Hilburn's rich reporting shows the remarkable highs and deep lows that followed and haunted Cash in equal measure. A man of great faith and humbling addiction, Cash aimed for more than another hit on the jukebox; he wanted his music to lift people's spirits and help promote what he felt was the best of the American spirit.
Drawing upon his personal experience with Cash and a trove of never-before-seen material from the singer's inner circle, Hilburn creates an utterly compelling, deeply human portrait of one of the most iconic figures in modern popular culture - not only a towering figure in country music, but also a seminal influence in rock, whose personal life was far more troubled, and whose musical and lyrical artistry much more profound, than even his most devoted fans ever realized.
Rosanne Cash had this to say - "A definitive biography of my father that is excruciatingly honest, rigorously researched, and has the depth and integrity that the subject demands."
Contents pages are shown in photos 4 & 5.
680 pages. Published by Little, Brown and Company in 2013 [First Edition]. ISBN 978-0-316-19475-4. [Approx 24.5 x 16 x 4cms & 1020g]
This hardback is in good condition with pages clean and tightly bound. The opening edge of the closed pages is uneven, but that's a manufacuting fault, or feature. It is an ex-Library book so has stickers to the front cover and spine, and the first [lining] page, as well as a stamp to the edge of the closed pages. The last [lining] page has its bottom corner torn out [approx a couple of cms square], and the last page of the Index [contained about half a page of info] has been torn out. There's also a small crease to the top of the first few pages but ceases before the first chapter begins. To compensate, it has been professionally covered in clear plastic which has kept the covers in good nick as per photos 1 & 2 [please excuse the reflections off it].
Also have some other artist/band biographies listed separately at present.
Please note:-
- Inspections welcome.
- Best to phone [three&two zero&nine seven&one eight&two] if you are keen to collect. I don't use a mobile and often only get to check messages late in the evening, so please check your email for replies [they sometimes end up in your Spam folder].
