Halfway through the Best of the Johnny Cash TV Show DVD set... I remember watching the show in '69-71. There are two performances that are just DEVASTATING -- his debut of "Man in Black" (in front of a collegiate audience) and his cover of Kristofferson's "Sunday Morning Coming Down," which was released as a single and and won awards.
It's also fun to see him sing with Joni and Satchmo, and the anecdote about June seeing Linda Ronstadt not wearing panties in dress rehearsal is a keeper.

His cover of if you could read my mind is about as soul crushing as you can get. The sound of a man heartbroken and ready to die

I just heard about this and look it up - Cash explained in his autobiography that it was an "intentionally atrocious" parody aimed at his label CBS/Columbia (which dropped him two years later).

*and had to look it up
His MySpace had this series, of the original EPs, I think, that might have been overall titled Cash On Sun, just this whole parallel, para-Elvis, world of Jawn hitting his 50s boom-chick stride, catchy and country and rock and not, deep as the voice (well, pert near), at times.Johnny Cash Forever Words reached its final peak, mebbe, with tracks added for April 2021 reincarnation. It's new music, via many hands, for his previously unset lyrics and poems, built from characteristic, yet venturesome imagery, moods, turns, twists, with that JC cadence, wherever he may roam. The resulting tracks are plausible vibe-wise, even when briefly brushed by Elvis Costello's chamber strings, and in Robert Glasper's jazz-hiphop-alt.r&b setting, where The Man Hisself comments on what he was trying to convey in these words, about drugs. A double album that zips right by. The Watkins Family offering, feat. Sara Watkins's vocal, is a bit bland, duh, and maybe one or two likewise, but overall, pretty amazing standard.

Also from the Dylan Center, a 1964 letter from Johnny Cash - man, I need to put more effort into my emails, never mind letters.

I think not:
JOHNNY CASH – THE OFFICIAL CONCERT EXPERIENCE brings songs and stories from the “Man in Black” to the stage in a way that audiences haven’t seen or heard before. With video of Johnny from episodes of The Johnny Cash TV Show projected on a screen above the stage, a live band and singers will accompany him in perfect sync. This concert experience will showcase iconic performances from the TV show and highlight the spirit of the legend by revisiting some of his memorable words and anecdotes. Cash will perform some of his biggest hits, including “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Ring of Fire,” and “I Walk the Line,” and share stories of people he met along the way whose causes he championed – the working man from all walks of life. Plus, onstage male and female singers will split vocal duties performing their own takes on Cash hits. The music never stops in this concert event!
