Tommy Cash (Dyess, 5 aprile 1940 – 13 settembre 2024[1]) è stato un cantante e chitarrista statunitense, fratello minore di Johnny Cash.
Biografia
Cash nacque in Arkansas, in una numerosa famiglia, e otto anni dopo il fratello Johnny Cash. Formò il suo primo gruppo musicale durante la high school; successivamente si arruolò nella United States Army.
Dopo l'esercito, Cash suonò con Hank Williams Jr., figlio del più celebre Hank Williams Sr., e nel 1965 fece un disco con la Musicor Records, e l'anno seguente avvenne lo stesso con la United Artists Records.
Alla fine del 1969 ottenne il maggior successo della sua carriera, Six White Horses, un brano dedicato a John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy e Martin Luther King.
