One of the Greatest Country Singers of all time?

Tweet

I live in Hendersonville, Tennessee, which is where Johnny and June Carter Cash lived until their passing a few years ago. I am within walking distance of their final home and everytime I pass it, I am reminded of them, and of the incredible mark they left on country music. You cannot go very far throughout Nashville without seeing some reminder of their lives. Their music can be heard everywhere down here. There are posters, merchandise and all sorts of tributes to the legendary "Man In Black" throughout Nashville and the surrounding areas. What I want to know is if Johnny Cash has as much of an impact on people outside of Nashville? He is still a legend here and will always be that way. He is also one of my absolute favorite country singers of all time. I just wonder what everyone else feels about him? Is his music still relevant today?? Is it still listened to on a regular basis by people across the country and around the world??? On a side note, if you ever come to Nashville, take the drive up to Hendersonville and visit "Cash Country". While his home burned down during renovations a couple of years ago, it is still humbling to stand at the gates of this famous home and realize you are in the presence of greatness. I have also been to his and June's grave, and it is awesome to see the items left behind by people from all over the world who have stopped to pay homage to this incredible couple from country music's past.
