The Man in Black
In 2010 and 2011, Tex Perkins and The Tennessee Four performed a series of shows in Australia and New Zealand. Titled "The Man in Black - The Johnny Cash Story", the show featured two hours of Johnny Cash’s music interwoven with the story of his rise to stardom, his fight for survival and his eventual redemption. Tex Perkins and Rachael Tidd (as June Carter), performed faithful renditions of Cash's songs, while telling Cash's story in the third person between songs. It is worth noting that both Cash and Tex Perkins have baritone voices. During the show, Tex humorously emphasises the name of Cash's guitarist Luther Perkins.
