__Johnny Cash: The Man in Black__ It is easy for one person to say that he or she will make a difference in society, but to actually follow through and make a change is another. In society, it is very hard for anyone to rise above all, especially in the music biz. To make such an influence and to be seen as “out of the ordinary” is truly an accomplishment. Johnny Cash was one of the most influential country artist and songwriter known to man. Country music is,”  …based on the traditional music of the rural South, whose songs express strong personal emotions. Country musicians typically play such instruments as the guitar and fiddle” (Encarta Dictionary: English (North America)). His works started in the 1950’s to late 1960’s. What made Johnny Cash so “different” was his style of music. He changed to what country music was supposed to sound like and made it into his own. He had more of a gothic approach with his music and at that time, was very hard to pull off. Through his music he addressed matters of loneliness, depression, love, and hope. He truly was a man of his work.
