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.

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or black:
“Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts,—a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“So I won’t hang around in my hospital shift,
repeating The Black Mass and all of it.
I say Live, Live because of the sun,
the dream, the excitable gift.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
