Some insight from Far Out magazine:

In Cash’s autobiography, Cash: The Autobiography, Johhny Cash discussed his first taste of Dylan and how it led to the first letters sent between the two men.

“I had a portable record player that I’d take along on the road, and I’d put on The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan backstage, then go out and do my show, then listen again as soon as I came off,” he wrote.

Cash added: “After a while at that, I wrote Bob a letter telling him how much of a fan I was. He wrote back almost immediately, saying he’d been following my music since ‘I Walk the Line,’ and so we began a correspondence”.

That correspondence would prove pivotal in the union of two of the great musicians of all time.

The admiration was evidently mutual. When Cash sadly passed away in 2003, Dylan paid a touching tribute to the memory of his friend.

“In plain terms, Johnny was and is the North Star; you could guide your ship by him — the greatest of the greats then and now,” he said.

“Truly, he is what the land and country is all about. The heart and soul of it personified and what it means to be here, and he said it all in plain English.

I think we can have recollections of him, but we can’t define him any more than we can define a fountain of truth, light and beauty.”
