"As a chronicler of American travels, Carr falls somewhere between Charles Dickens and Crocodile Dundee."—Los Angeles Times
"A thorough reporter, a careful listener, and a perceptive observer. . . . A book that is as reasonable as it is winning."—Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post
"One of the best—and funniest—pieces of action journalism to come along since Tom Wolfe."—Toronto Globe and Mail
Florida’s soundtrack is the ultra-high-voltage din of cultures slapped together, of people wired for everything from the fabulous to the fatal. In seven pieces that describe their stories, dreams, and nightmares, journalist Patrick Carr writes about the fascinating Floridians whose lives are the reality of the Sunshine State. They include alligator hunters near Lakeland, water warriors in Tampa, narcotics cops and political refugees in Miami, a Seminole chief in the Glades, and a cracker sage at Fisheating Creek. Like all transplants, Carr says, he loves Florida for what it isn’t—cold and old—and for what it is—hot and wild. His compassionate, spirited, and often funny action journalism captures the character of a frontier paradise.
 Patrick Carr’s journalism has appeared in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Village Voice, and many other magazines and newspapers. His books include Gun People(with George Gardner), Backstage Passes (with Angela Bowie), Cash (with Johnny Cash), and The Illustrated History of Country Music. Born in England, he has lived in Tampa, Florida, since the early 1980s.

University Press of Florida

a country music legend, and the quintessential American troubadour. He was an icon of rugged individualism who had been to hell and back, telling the tale as never before. In his unforgettable autobiography, Johnny Cash tells the truth about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who shaped him.In his own words, Cash set the record straight -- and dispelled a few myths -- as he looked unsparingly at his remarkable life: from the joys of his boyhood in Dyess, Arkansas to superstardom in Nashville, Tennessee, the road of Cash's life has been anything but smooth. Cash writes of the thrill of playing with Elvis, the comfort of praying with Billy Graham; of his battles with addiction and of the devotion of his wife, June; of his gratitude for life, and of his thoughts on what the afterlife may bring.

CASTOR ASTRAL

JOHNNY CASH (1932-2003) raconte sa propre histoire, depuis l’enfance dans les champs de coton de l’Arkansas jusqu’aux formidables succès des dernières années qui l’ont replacé en tête des charts et dans le cœur d’un large public. Ceci sans renier des prises de position jugées renégates, ni passer sous silence les aspects les plus sombres de sa vie, sur lesquels il s’exprime ici avec une franchise bouleversante. Revenant sur un demi-siècle de carrière, l’« Homme en noir » nous fait revivre ses premières années chez Sun, en compagnie d’Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison et Jerry Lee Lewis, la période de gloire des années 1960-70, puis la traversée du désert dans les années 1980, et enfin l’idylle avec la scène rock alternative, à la croisée des genres. Ce témoignage exceptionnel souligne à quel point Johnny Cash demeure à jamais l’une des figures emblématiques de la musique américaine. Sa carrière aura jeté un pont entre plusieurs générations.
