The Man in Black: The Johnny Cash Story, with Tex Perkins and The Tennessee Four

Overview

If any Australian musician was going to play Johnny Cash, it would have to be Tex Perkins. It just makes sense. It's the vibe or something. And so he is (playing Johnny Cash I mean).

The Man in Black - The Johnny Cash Story is the product of writer Jim McPherson's and musician Tex Perkins' love and veneration of Cash: musical revolutionary and eternal champion of the downtrodden. This is, according to Perkins, no musical but a "live documentary", Cash's greatest hits interwoven with the story of his life - his rise to fame, his struggle with addiction and his relationship with June Carter (played by Rachael Tidd). Backed by the Tennessee Four, the show has already played to sold-out audiences in Melbourne and Brisbane and instigated a bit of a press love-in.

Perkins and Cash. It's a winning combination.
