Mainly known as a country music singer and songwriter, his songs ranged from traditional country “Cry, Cry, Cry” to contemporary country “Highway Patrolman” to gospel “Forever Young” to blues-like “Walking The Blues” and jazz “Waiting For A Train”. He also spanned genres like folk, rockabilly, rock and roll and even classic rock (especially in the beginning of his career).

Cash devoted many songs to America and its culture; his latest music contains themes of grief, pain and redemption. His most famous song “I Walk the Line” was recorded in 1956.
