| Johnny Cash (1929-2003) grew up in rural poverty in Arkansas and was exposed to suffering and death at an early age; and the music career that took him to the heights of wealth and fame also brought insecurity, addiction and despair. In this first authorized biography, Steve Turner uses unprecedented access to Cash's friends, family and colleagues to get close to the heart of the iconic singer-songwriter known as the 'Man in Black'. With a foreword by Kris Kristofferson. | ||||

| Northway 2004 126 pages | ||||
| Paperback 0953704068 | ||||

| Ronnie Scott opened his club in 1959, 'simply to have somewhere to play', and remained the owner and leading attraction until his death in 1996. This account describes the superb music and the chaos that made the basement in Gerrard Street world-famous. Scott's inimitable style, plus contributions by Benny Green, Mel Calman and Spike Milligan make this a suitably irreverent tribute to a larger-than-life character. | ||||
