Hello,

My name is James Maddox.

I would like to tell you a short story about how and why the song, "You're Still The Man In Black" was written and recorded.

A few weeks ago, two friends, Ed Gowens, Tim Hicks and myself got together and wrote a song as a tribute to my Hero, The Great Johnny Cash. We finished recording the song late in the afternoon on September 11, 2003. We wrote a short note about Johnny on the inside of the front cover. Our plan was to send a CD of this song to Johnny Cash the next day, September 12, 2003. We had heard he had just got out of the hospital and we thought this song might make him feel better.

When we awoke on the morning of the 12th, we heard the sad news that Johnny had passed away. This was indeed a very sad day for all of America and music lovers all over the world.

Here is a copy of the note we wrote to Johnny:

"This song is written about a great American hero of many people through-out the world. His music has inspired people of all races, colors, and creeds, and will live on in the hearts of many people. As long as Country and Gospel songs are played, his songs will forever be a part of music history. This song is dedicated to you, Johnny Cash, my Hero. Johnny, You're Still The Man In Black "
