Cash, Johnny (1932-2003), was an American singer, guitarist, and composer. His style mixed traditional country music with folk, gospel, blues, and rock 'n' roll. Cash sang in a rich, distinctive baritone voice. He wrote many songs, including "Hey Porter" (1955), "Folsom Prison Blues" (1956), "I Walk the Line" (1956), "Don't Take Your Guns to Town" (1959). Most of his songs deal compassionately with the hard lives of poor rural people. Many describe outsiders, such as gamblers, hobos, and convicts. Cash won the 2001 Grammy Award for best male country vocalist.
