This is going to be a very somber album....it will be hard listening to it knowing that it' his final album. With that being said this has been the # 1 album on my list for 2006 releases.

Well yeah.....If you are interested there is a great book called The Man Called Cash. I highly recommend it.

Johnny was into "dyeing"?

I'm guessing you haven't seen the video for "Hurt". Or, maybe you have and that's what you're basing your thoughts on. In addition to the book recommendation I also suggest checking out CMTs Inside Fame special about Johnny if you've never seen it.
