August 5th at 10pm, P.O.V. will air the little-seen documentary “Johnny Cash: The Man, His World, His Music” on Thirteen. This footage, of Johnny and June singing “Jackson”, is from the documentary:

Rolling Stone gave this documentary 4 stars and describes it:

“Johnny Cash once called 1968 “the happiest year of our lives,” and this documentary, made for public television by thirty-year-old director Robert Elfstrom in late ‘68 and early ‘69, is a rousing masterpiece, as edifying and eminently rewatchable as D.A. Pennebaker’s verite Bob Dylan doc, Don’t Look Back…. Elfstrom records stunning glimpses of Cash actually relaxing during a visit to his parents in Dyess, Arkansas, and recording a loose duet of “One Too Many Mornings” with a grinning Dylan.”
