Johnny Cash: Jackson

When Johnny Cash had the chance to meet June Carter as an artistic equal, the “fever was there” but complications (both were married) kept a forbidden love from taking the next step. Cash increasing dependency on drugs and outlaw ways made June Carter hesitant to commit to him. Just one month after the release of their duet, “Jackson,” the Man In Black hit rock bottom as he crawled into the Nickajack Caves with no intention of leaving alive. Fate, however, showed Johnny Cash not only showed him way out of the darkness and into the light. It led him into the arms of the woman who would be his wife for 35-years and “Jackson” would become the theme song of their fiery romance.
