John Carter Cash (born March 3, 1970) is an American country singer-songwriter, musician and author. He is the only child of Johnny Cash and his second wife June Carter Cash. He is the grandson of Mother Maybelle Carter. [1]
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]
