Johnny Cash, born in Kingsland, Arkansas, on Feb. 26, 1932, drew from country, folk, rockabilly, gospel, pop and blues over a six-decade career in which he continually reinvented himself and became one of American music's most celebrated artists. After joining the Air Force in 1950 and moving to Memphis upon his discharge in 1954, he signed with Sun Records in 1955 and broke through with "Folsom Prison Blues" and "I Walk the Line." After signing with Columbia in 1958, he moved with his family to California, though most of his later recordings were made in Nashville. His late 1950s and early 1960s hits included "Don't Take Your Guns to Town," "Ring of Fire," "Five Feet High and Rising," "Understand Your Man," and "The Ballad of Ira Hayes." In 1966, as his first marriage was ending, he moved to Nashville, and later that year he and Waylon Jennings rented an apartment in the Fontaine Royale building on Milliken Bend Road in Madison. In the spring of 1967, he saw an unfinished house at 200 Caudill Drive in Hendersonville facing Old Hickory Lake, persuaded builder Braxton Dixon to complete it for him, and made it his home; that same spring he began dating June Carter, and they partnered on "Jackson," a No. 2 country hit. On January 13, 1968, Cash and Carter performed at Folsom Prison in California, and the resulting album became one of the top-selling country albums of all time. They married on March 1, 1968, and moved into the Caudill Drive house. In January 1969, they purchased the Plantation Dinner Theater at 700 East Main Street in Hendersonville and converted it into a recording studio and office suite for the House of Cash music publishing company; later it became a Johnny Cash Museum. In April 1969, Cash began taping The Johnny Cash Show in Nashville, and his album from a February performance at San Quentin Prison became one of the year's best-selling albums, while "A Boy Named Sue" from that concert became a No. 1 country and No. 2 pop single. In April 1979, Cash and Carter were given the Amqui train station in Madison, Tennessee, and it was moved to the grounds of House of Cash to serve as a store. His final acclaimed music video, "Hurt," was filmed at House of Cash and at the Caudill Drive residence. Cash and Carter lived in the house until Carter's death on May 15, 2003, and Cash's death the following Sept. 12, and they were interred at Hendersonville Memory Gardens at 353 East Main Street in Hendersonville. In January 2006, Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees bought the house, and on April 10, 2007, it burned during renovations.
