The Ghost of Johnny Cash in “Branson” at LAFF
by James Israel (June 22, 2009)
The ghost of Johnny Cash made an appearance on Sunday night for the world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival of Brent Meeske’s documentary “Branson,” which follows the strange world of strip-mall performers in Branson, Missouri where over 50 theaters host concerts, performances, and other family friendly acts to a million people a year. The highlight of the film is the dark struggle of Johnny Cash impersonator Jackson Cash, who fights chronic drug problems while trying to maintain his growing career evoking The Man in Black. Afterwards, Jackson did a rousing performance of Cash classics, including the Nine Inch Nails cover, “Hurt.”

Jackson Cash IS the hi-lite of the film. I would have liked more of his story and his battles with the dark side.
BTW, thats a tacky ad disguised as a comment for a review that doesn’t even mention your show.
#1 Hits of the 60’s Show Branson MO starring Amber Campbell was proud to be a part of the documentary “Branson.” The #1 Hits of the 60’s Show is in it’s seventh year in Branson, with shows daily. Branson Missouri is still one of the most affordable places to vacation. If you haven’t been to this “Live Music Capital of America” then you have missed one unique place. With over 100 shows there is something for everyone. #1 Hits of the 60’s Show brings to life the 60’s decade with the cast and band through music, dance, comedy in a full-production show. We invite you to come see for yourself and now with an airport just 6 miles away you can get here eaiser than ever before.
