I Was There When It Happened: My Life With Johnny Cash

I Was There When It Happened: My Life With Johnny Cash
By Marshall Grant
Hardcover, 367 pages (price $24.95)

Endorsed by Johnny Cash’s daughter, Rosanne, his brother, Tommy, and featuring a foreward by The Statler Brothers, who credit him with launching their career, this biography by longtime band member Marshall Grant takes its title from a gospel tune Cash recorded in 1957. As one of Cash’s original bandmates and thereafter a member of his inner circle until his death in 2003, Grant recounts the career of the legendary Man in Black—including the devastating spiral of drug abuse that Grant says ultimately destroyed him—with fly-on-the-wall, warts-and-all detail…and the unique, unvarnished perspective of one of the few people still living who really was there when it happened.
