You Ain't No Johnny Cash

"You Ain't No Johnny Cash" is the story of Cody Luther, an aging country singer who cut short his career in the 1980's and left for Mexico after his wife cheated on him with Willie Nelson. Luther moves back to his hometown of Lubbock, Texas, where he reconnects with his ex-wife, Diana May, eventually rekindling the romance they once had. After a brawl over a jukebox song, Cody is forced to attend court-appointed therapy sessions. His psychiatrist, Dr. Bloomberg, tries to dig deep while Luther advises him to read the lyrics to his songs to find out his feelings about things. When Dr. Bloomberg diagnoses him with clinical depression, Luther reluctantly joins a support group where he meets Sally, a knockout blond, who tests his affection for his ex-wife. Bill Davies, Luther's old manager tracks him down and tries to get Luther to make a comeback. Life comes at you fast when you are a country singer and it comes even faster when you drop out of the limelight and turn to the bottle to ease the pain.
