Hi Drew,
   
  I saw it on Monday.  I thought that it was a really good movie!  It interested me in Johnny Cash's music a little more than I have been so far.  Is there a good album by him that anyone would recommend?
   
  I know a couple of local guys (I'm from Arkansas) that are kin to Johnny Cash.  I was in a band about six or seven years ago; and the drummer's grandmother was Ray Cash's (Johnny's father) cousin, whatever kind of relation that makes him.  He knew he was related to Cash a little, but he wasn't much of a fan, as far as listening to him or anything.
   
  Joaquin Pheonix and Reese Witherspoon did a good job of singing and playing their own instruments too.  At least I read somewhere that it's really them singing and playing.  Pheonix's voice isn't quite as deep as I think Johnny Cash's was (maybe only 85-percent as deep), but it was passable for movie purposes (at least he didn't sound like Michael Jackson singing Cash songs ;-)  ).  I wonder what kind of musical backgrounds they have, or if they just crash coursed for the movie?
   
  Take care,
   
  Large

Just got back from the Johnny Cash movie. Pretty much a thumbs-up from me.
As good as Phoenix and Witherspoon are, they've got some nice support. I was
particularly impressed with Shelby Lynne as Johnny's mama. They had a good
Elvis and Jerry Lee, and I even dug the stunt casting cameo of Shooter
Jennings as grandpa Waylon.

Anybody else see it yet?
