Country and rock 'n' roll legend Johnny Cash hosted his own variety television series from the summer of 1969 to spring 1971, and by all accounts the weekly program was destination TV. The Johnny Cash Show: The Best of Johnny Cash 1969-1971 is an 83-minute summary of everything Cash tried to do in his hourlong format, from presenting an eclectic and even-handed overview of popular music to promoting a humanitarian perspective on issues that mattered most to him: drug use, poverty, reliance on faith, compassion for criminals. This DVD documentary is largely comprised of musical performances by Cash and some of the many guests who appeared on his show. But there are also snippets of interviews with behind-the-camera talent involved with the program as well as such old friends as Kris Kristofferson and Hank Williams Jr. Everyone speaks highly of Cash's warm, on-camera persona, and selected footage proves them right: Cash is ever the gentleman with an expansive spirit and down-to-earth grit. Musical highlights include Cash's own "I Walk the Line" and "Man In Black," Bob Dylan's straightforward "I Threw It All Away," Loretta Lynn's "I Know How," and a delightful George Jones medley. Ray Charles takes a bluesy spin on "Ring of Fire," Cash's fellow Sun Records artists Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison take turns in the spotlight, Neil Young brings the crowd to its feet with an amazing "The Needle and the Damage Done," and Eric Clapton (fronting Derek and the Dominos) turns in a passionate "It's Too Late." --Tom Keogh

Many, many performance gems! December 28, 2008
E. Teviotdale
Derek and the Dominoes, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash together doing "Matchbox": that just can't be beat. But it's not just the music, the commentary is also very informative.

This is a great product for Johnny Cash lovers. I bought it for my dad and the shows are just as he remembered them. It has a little bit of everything from the TV show, to songs, and clips from other performances. Great buy.

The only way this DVD could be better is if it had more discs so make sure you buy the 2 DVD version.
If you are a fan of any of the performers here you cannot go wrong.
Great for Johnny Cash fans September 30, 2008

My wife and I really love the video collection, we even ordered a second DVD for her sister and her husband. They love it too. Great for Johnny Cash and music fans in general.

A very well put together digest of two years of shows. The thread linking the appearances ie the man himself Johnny Cash and the anecdotes from his life complement the music and the type of guest. An excellent piece of entertainment.
