Biography

With his father, c. 1975

John has four older half-sisters from his father's first marriage to Vivian Cash (née Liberto). They are Rosanne Cash, Kathy, Cindy, and Tara.

He also has two older half-sisters from his mother's first marriage.

For several years after John's birth, his father altered the conclusion of " A Boy Named Sue" to mention the boy by name. In 1972 his parents recorded the duet "I Got a Boy (And His Name is John)" about their son. In 1975 a photograph of him with his father was featured on the sleeve of the album Look at Them Beans.[ citation needed]

Like many of his siblings, John Cash followed his parents into show business. He has worked as a singer-songwriter, musician, and producer. He was music producer on his mother's albums Press On and Wildwood Flower; the latter won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk album. [2]

He was the associate producer of his father's American III: Solitary Man and American IV: The Man Comes Around. In the early 1990s he toured with his father as a rhythm guitarist.

He has also produced recordings for such artists as: Sheryl Crow, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, and Vince Gill. He owns and operates Cash Cabin Enterprises, LLC., a music production company in the Cash Cabin Studio. [3] [4]
