it best, with entertaining audience participation and some great
country nostalgia.

Cash hits such as Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line, and Folsom Prison
Blues, as well as Johnny’s interpretations of such great songs
as “Help Me Make it Through the Night” and ‘Ghost Riders in
the Sky’. ‘Dr. Baz’ has the vocal depth to capture Johnny Cash’s
unmistakable authorative baritone and project his powerful on
stage presence. But June Carter was a great Country Music
Star in her own right, and the vivacious Kathryn Jones brings
her own special country sensibility to light up this dynamic show,
