The
Man in Black – The Johnny Cash Story
The
last time we caught up with Tex Perkins it was at
a somewhat rushed Chad Morgan "I’m Not Dead
Yet" documentary media event at Sydney's George
Street cinemas. This time we enjoyed considerably
more face to face time with Tex, and just as we suspected,
he's quite a character, and a very talented one at
that.
Perkins
is undeniably talented, charismatic, ruggedly handsome
and funny - possessing that kind of sense of humor
that you would expect from Cash - dark, part light,
and very genuine.
Tex Perkins may be best known as being the frontman
of The Cruel Sea and Beasts of Bourbon, but I dare
say he is perfectly cast as Cash from his pseudo tribute
show.
Cash's
songs voiced the lives of the marginalised, the outlaw,
the lonely and the damaged, and Perkin's absolutely
nails it, although I doubt anyone could be quite as
dark as Cash himself, and Perkin's tended to agree
with me.
In
one short one week, we will be off to enjoy Perkin's
Cash tribute in person at The Sydney Opera House,
but our enthusiasm for the subject is so immense that
we just has to write about his greatness before the
ultimate payoff at 'The House, where we are to expect
of ‘I Walk The Line’, 'A Boy Named Sue',
and countless other gems. It's a two-hour show, and
we understand the two-hours flies by.
The
upcoming show is a series of monologues delivered
by Perkins and Rachael Tidd (playing June Carter)
who perform and speak as their legendary subjects.
Their
support cast comprise of Steve Hadley, David Folley,
Shane Reilly and Shannon Bourne (The Tennessee Four),
and its a magically teaming.
If
you enjoy live music, quality performances with heart,
loads of talent, and tales of legends, 'The Man In
Black' is for you.
