Johnny Cash's Elvis Impression

An unreleased recitation by Johnny Cash will be available as part of a new documentary examining Cash’s views on America. In “I Am The Nation,” the deep-voiced singer personifies the country with references to important events and people in American history.

The recording was discovered in Cash’s personal belongings after his death. It will be released as part of “Johnny Cash’s America,” a documentary airing Oct. 23 on the Biography Channel. The companion DVD/CD package on Legacy Recordings will be available Oct. 28.

Here's a piece from the documentary of Johnny Cash spoofing on Elvis Presley. In it, he pretends to throw out his back. It's proof that, while as serious as anyone in music about telling it like it is for the little guy, he still had one of the best sense of humors in the business. Long live Cash.
