Cindy Cash in Her Own Words
Cindy and Johnny were a daughter and father seemingly like any other. “This is where I learned to hunt arrowheads, to pick blackberries, we went on Jeep rides.” But Cindy knows what Johnny Cash means to the world and is moved by the fans who still visit the farm in Bon Aqua to this day.

Healing

Preserving History on Johnny Cash’s Farm
Recovery, repair, and restoration are concepts Brian Oxley is well familiar with. He and his wife set out to preserve Johnny Cash’s farm in Bon Aqua, Tennessee in 2015. With time, they realized there was more to the farm that Johnny himself described as the center of his universe.

Legacy

FAME Recording Studios and the Muscle Shoals Sound
The Allman Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Little Richard, and Lou Rawls to name a few, all helped define this signature collective twang.

Individuality

Individuality
What is it like to own a warehouse with over four million records for sale? For a music fan, it’s a dream come true. For Val Shively, it’s just another day with his “babies.” Val has always been unconventional, and that’s what kept his store going for 60+ years. As Val says, “Being different is very, very good.”

Resilience

John Gilman on Pressure and Passion
Sharing the music you created with the world still matters, even if you’re not on the biggest stage. But how do you get back up after a loss? “There’s this massive amount of pressure on you by people to get back.
