The son of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash has returned to the country legend's boyhood home of Dyess, Ark., to look for traces of his father and pick some cotton.
John Carter Cash has been in northeast Arkansas since Tuesday. The 37-year-old Cash said it's part of a personal venture to understand his father and Dyess, the town the Cash family called home.
"My father talked about the cotton farm, and the flood, many times," Cash said. "He not only talked about it, it inspired him to write about it as well. His Arkansas roots were always a part of who he was, and he was proud of that. When I visit the places he walked and played, it brings to life many stories he told me about living here."
