2. What was the name of the prison that Johnny sang at?

Answer: Folsom

The correct answer is, of course, Folsom Prison in California. During one of the low points in his life, Johnny began opening fan mail and noticed that quite a few were from inmates at various prisons. Johnny felt that he connected to the prisoners, so he went to the record label and they eventually allowed him record a live album within the prison for the inmates.

The pair consisted of auto mechanics Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant. Eventually, the name was changed to "The Tennessee Three" when they added drummer W.S. Holland.
4. After Johnny purchased his lake front house, why did he invite his parents and June's family over for dinner?

Answer: Thanksgiving

During the meal, Johnny went into the story of when he was a kid. Johnny always felt he was the "bad" son, so he brought up his late brother Jack's final moments. This ended up getting his father and him into a verbal confrontation in which Johnny stormed out of the house.
5. Who was June Carter's first husband?

Answer: Carl Smith

Through her life, June had three husbands. The first one was Carl Smith. We saw this in the movie while Johnny was in Germany and looked through a magazine. The cover picture showed June and Carl as newlyweds. Her second husband was a cop named Edwin Nix, although the movie protrayed him as a stock car driver.

Her third, and final, husband was Johnny Cash. John Carter Cash was the name of their son.
6. For a short period, what singer did Johnny live with?

Answer: Waylon Jennings

Johnny was close friends with Waylon Jennings, who allowed Johnny to live with him for a short time while they both went through their drug phase. Shooter Jennings, Waylon's son, portrayed his own father in the movie.
7. What song were June and Johnny singing when Johnny proposed to June? This was quite a tear-jerking moment.

Answer: Jackson

As the movie neared its end, the two were performing the song on stage. Johnny stopped and explained to the audience that he couldn't sing the song anymore unless June agreed to marry him. Through tears, she managed an "all right." The scene faded out back to Johnny's home where it seems he finally patched things up with his father. Soon after, the credits rolled.
8. What branch of the military was Johnny enlisted in?

Johnny's job in the Air Force was a radio operator. While he was in West Germany, he wrote one of his most famous songs, "Folsom Prison Blues." This was the song that he used to secure a record deal with Sun Records.

Answer: Cocaine Blues

After the brief conversation with the warden, Johnny took the stage in front of the Folsom inmates. He discussed his run-ins with the law and how he tipped his hat off to the Folsom inmates for having to drink the yellowish dirty water. Soon after, he began singing.
10. What was the instrument June played throughout the movie?

Answer: Autoharp

Reese, who had never thought she would have to sing or play her own instruments, was paranoid. She called her attorney, agent, and manager to see about having LeAnn Rhimes audition for the role. In the end, Joaquin and Reese did sing their own songs and play their own instruments. The movie soundtrack actually used their real singing talents.
