One of them (Sherwin Linton) even actually called his live prison album ''Hello, I'm Not Johnny Cash''.Cash''. It even jumped beyond country, with Music/BBKing's ''Live in Cook County Jail'' hitting #1 on the R&B album chart in 1971.



* PromotedFanboy: Cash had trouble coming up with a good permanent solution after the sudden death of guitarist Luther Perkins in 1968. His old Sun Records colleague Carl Perkins (no relation to Luther), who was now part of his touring ensemble, filled in as needed, but he had his own guitar style and his own career to tend to. Then at a show in Arkansas, a young local guitarist named Bob Wootton begged Cash to let him sit in on a few songs. When he did, Cash was astonished to hear that Wootton, who'd idolized Cash from the beginning of his career, had memorized all of Luther's licks. Shortly aftewards, Cash invited Wootton to join his band, and he was Cash's lead guitarist all the way up to ''American Recordings''.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: The narrator's plan to build himself a Cadillac in "One Piece at a Time" gets derailed because he doesn't take this trope into account. He steals the car parts used to build it over the course of 20 years, meaning the end result is an unholy chimera of a car.

* BasedOnADream: Cash liked to claim that the trumpets in "Ring of Fire" came to him in a dream he had where he heard them play the riff. His biographers feel that the more likely inspiration was the 1961 {{Instrumental}} hit "Mexico" by Nashville session musician Bob Moore, which featured similar twin trumpets (and, coincidentally, the "boom-chicka-boom" beat). In fact, the trumpeters from "Mexico" also played on "Ring of Fire".
