<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>How did Saul Holiff, a serious-minded Canadian businessman, get hooked up with Johnny Cash at his most wild? The Cash-Holiff partnership explores the dizzying success and rock-bottom depths the two shared, and reveals the secrets that eventually pulled them apart.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>The unlikely, rocky relationship between an American country superstar and his straightlaced Canadian manager.</strong><br /> <br /> Before there was Johnny and June, there was Johnny and Saul. <em>The Man Who Carried Cash</em> chronicles a relationship that was both volatile and affectionate between Johnny Cash and his manager, Saul Holiff. From roadside taverns to the roaring crowds at Madison Square Garden, from wrecked cars and jail cells all the way to the White House, the story of Johnny and Saul is a portrait of two men from different worlds who were more alike than either cared to admit.<br /> <br /> Saul handled the bookings and the no-shows, the divorce and the record deals, drugs, overdoses, and arrests. He was there for the absolute worst of times, but also for the best: Carnegie Hall, Folsom Prison, "A Boy Named Sue," and Cash's hit television series. But in 1973, at the zenith of Cash's career, Saul quit. Until now, no one knew why.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A compelling read...Chadwick's great success is in her study of the relationship of two men who were completely dependent on one another.-- "Folk Roots with Mike Regenstreif"<br><br>A must-read for anyone interested in the life and career of Johnny Cash and the man who truly made it happen for him.-- "Criticsatlarge.ca"<br><br>A trip with this book feels like a criminally detailed peek into a very complex relationship.-- "Creative Loafing (Tampa Bay, FL)"<br><br>An excellent book, full of insight about what made The Man in Black tick.
