13th March, 2010… The lanky charismatic Perkins is way too good an artist in his own right to merely impersonate. Perkins interprets Cash yet maintains faith with his icon.
The tools of Perkin’s trade are deep felt emotion, fine tuned expression and utter authenticity.
Instinctively, he balances passion and restraint. It’s a beautiful thing to watch.

DRESSED in a sharp black suit and slinging his guitar like a shotgun, Tex Perkins blazes through this two hour tribute to Johnny Cash, the hard-living, hell-raising American singer-songwriter … singing blues, country, gospel and rock.
He was the type of guy who loved Jesus and cocaine at the same time.

By casting gangly country rock singer Tex Perkins as Cash, the producers got the best man for the job.
He … possesses the dark charisma of Cash, … relates to the dark material of the songs and has the range to cover Cash’s diverse musical palette that mixes up folk, blues, country, gospel and rockabilly.
Perkins is brilliantly backed by the Tennessee Four, featuring some of the country’s finest musicians, and Rachael Tidd, whose voice outshines June Carter’s.
