I think the Carter family helped Cash become a better man. Certainly not perfect.
the true story of cash is that of faith and redemption. Cash doing a concert at a prison was not a publicity stunt but an honest attempt at ministering to those who were lost.
The Carters weren’t the saints everybody makes them out to be. They were big names in gospel at the time the family patriarch was driving a van drunk and killed everyone in it but him. Every time we went to see my uncle in Smyrna, Tennessee my dad would point out where the accident happened.
