阿肯色州立大學最近買下了 Johnny Cash在該州Dyess的老家，預定8月4日舉辦的Johnny Cash音樂節將募捐一些基金把這個Johnny Cash成長的地方改建成一個博物館，George Jones 和 Kris Kristofferson這二位鄉村歌唱界的大老將會在活動中現身。
傳奇鄉村歌手Johnny Cash是於2003年9月12日因糖尿病過世的（71歲），他和妻子June Carter的故事2006年曾改編成電影Walk The Line「為你鍾情」，演June Carter的瑞絲薇斯朋(Reese Witherspoon)因此片獲奧斯卡最佳女主角獎，June Carter本人則於2003年5月15日比Johnny Cash早幾個月因心臟病去世（73歲）。
Johnny Cash 1956年以I Walk The Line一曲成名，這首歌是滾石雜誌500大歌曲榜第30名的歌，也被收進搖滾樂名人堂，Johnny Cash本人在鄉村與流行歌壇的成就，使他在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲第94名。
除了I Walk The Line這首歌之外，在電影「為你鍾情」當中有一首Johnny Cash與June Carter合唱的Jackson也是一首非常動聽的歌，1967年在鄉村歌曲排行榜曾獲得第2名，而Nancy Sinnatra與Lee Hazlewood所唱的這首歌在熱門排行榜則獲得第14名。
Jackson
-Words and Music by Gaby Rodgers and Billy Edd Wheeler
BOTH: We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We been talkin' 'bout Jackson
JOHNNY: Ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around (yeah?)
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson, look out Jackson town
JUNE: Well, go on down to Jackson, go ahead and wreck your health (hmm)
Go play your hand, you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself
Yeah, yeah, go to Jackson, but go comb that hair
JOHNNY: I'm gonna snowball Jackson
JUNE: Go ahead and see if I care
JOHNNY: When I breeze inta that city, the people gonna stoop and bow (ha ha)
All them women gonna make me teach 'em what they don't know how
I'm goin' to Jackson, ya turn-a loose-a my coat
'cause I'm goin' to Jackson
JUNE: Goodbye, that's all she wrote
JUNE: They'll laugh at you in Jackson (I doubt it)
And I'll be dancin' on a pony keg
They'll lead you 'round that town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go to Jackson, you big-talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' there in Jackson behind my *Japan* fan
BOTH: We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
We been talkin' 'bout Jackson ever since the fire went ou-ou-out
Go to Jackson and that's a natural fact
We're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back
BOTH: We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
FADE
We been talkin' 'bout Jackson
