Johnny Cash, Musical Family

At one time I was a very big fan of Johnny Cash. At one time I wanted to be just like him. I tried to look like him. When I did, kids in school called me "Elvis." Not a bad mistake, all things considered.

It seems family was important to Johnny Cash, especially musically...

When Johnny married June, he married into the Country music Carter family....



Of course, the most influentual of the Carter family was Mama Maybelle...



Of course when Johnny and June got together it was hotter than a pepper sprout.....



The Carter Family wasn't all there was to the musical family of Johnny Cash. Little brother Tommy came along....



Of course, Tommy had his own hit songs....



The Statler Brothers were a part of the Johnny Cash musical family...



Daughter Rosanne was from a previous marriage. She became a Country star in her own right...



Rodney Crowell was once married to Rosanne Cash, therefore he is part of the Johnny Cash Musical Family....



Deana Carter is June's daughter from a marriage to Carl Smith, so she became part of the Johnny Cash musical family when her mom married Johnny...



Hope you've enjoyed this exploration of the Johnny Cash musical family. But before we end it, this song explains how this family came about...



Yep, Johnny and June fell into a Ring of Fire. I'm quite sure there is no other musical family quite like it, and perhaps will never be again.
