Scotty Reifsnyder has created a fantastic children’s book that is based on the lyrics of a Johnny Cash song entitled “The Man Who Couldn’t Cry”. The book has a die cut that runs throughout adding a dimension of interactivity for the reader.
To me this is the true genius of Johnny Cash. His songwriting skills were never questioned but it takes some time before your the true talent of your work shines through. This proves his lyrics were timeless. I think country music may be one of few if not the only genre where stories are told in such detail. For one of his songs to be turned into a childrens book means it stood the ultimate test of time and is now bringing the story he told to a whole other generation.
RIP Johnny Cash. One of my heroes in music and a true genius.
