If I had grown up in Nashville listening to country music, it would have been easier to appreciate Walk the Line, a chronicle of the first 30 something years of Johnny Cash’s career. Raised on Rock, Pop and Soul and Classical Music, I could not connect very well with Cash’s music, except for the occasional tune whose lyrics stood out. But even the die-hard country fans were not given the same treat as we fan of Ray Charles could experience last year with the stunningly good Ray. Walk the Line lacked the craftsmanship of Ray that would have given us deeper understanding of artistry behind the music. Whereas Ray was fundamentally about music, Walk the Line is about the amazing love story of Johnny Cash and June Carter that outshines his music. Reese Witherspoon deservedly won the Oscar her performance as June Carter.
