Johnny Cash would've turned 80 years old on February 26, 2012, but we lost him almost a decade ago. It goes without saying that he's never been, and never will be, replaced. He became a country music megastar largely by refusing to limit himself to country music -- his decades-long, zillion-record career embraced everything from raucous rockabilly to stately gospel, and everyone from Sam Phillips to Willie Nelson to Rick Rubin. We've tried to get at his startling range here with an album guide (from At Folsom Prison to his twilight American series), along with playlists celebrating his hellraising rock 'n' roll side, his duets with beloved wife June Carter Cash, and of course the full range of his greatest hits. Enjoy.
