Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash are an Americana/alternative country band led by singer and songwriter Mark Stuart. The band formed in San Diego, California in 1995. They received permission to use Johnny Cash's name by Cash himself and then personally invited to record songs for their first cd Walk Alone at Cash's home in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash have opened for Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson at his annual 4th of July concert and shared the stage with such notables as Buck Owens, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, George Jones and Steve Earle.

Famous quotes containing the words sons, johnny and/or cash:
“Is a man too strong and fierce for society, and by temper and position a bad citizen,—a morose ruffian, with a dash of the pirate in him;Mnature sends him a troop of pretty sons and daughters, who are getting along in the dame’s classes at the village school, and love and fear for them smooths his grim scowl to courtesy. Thus she contrives to intenerate the granite and the feldspar, takes the boar out and puts the lamb in, and keeps her balance true.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I’m not here for your amusement. You’re here for mine.”
—John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
“Lora May: I’ve been a good wife. The best wife your money could buy.
Porter: Strictly cash and carry.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
